Hi folks,

we just uploaded another beta version of the upcoming Live update/upgrade 5.2.
This beta is free for every user.

With this beta version we are now really close to the final release of
Live 5.2. Because of the lack of available ReWire capable applications
and existing 2.4 VST plug-ins we still expect compatibility problems.

If we will run into these kind of problem we will take care for sure
but we also want to accommodate to the big numbers of users asking when the final
Live 5.2 will be released finally.


On Windows and OS X (Power-PC) you can unlock this beta with your
Live 5 serial number.

On OS X (Intel) or if you do not own Live 5 you can unlock this beta version
using the beta serial number provided on the beta website.

Check the beta website to download the version: www.ableton.com/beta

Please send all beta related feedback to [email protected].


Current version: Live 5.2b8
Expire date: 2006-04-03

This beta versions has these limitations:
- No manual is included
- No content is included
- No japanese language support is included


This version has enabled our bug reporter.
You will notice it when restarting Live after experiencing a crash.

Furthermore the Windows version has additional debug code to dump
information into the log file. Therefore the Windows version is a bit
slower as the final version (something between 5% to 15%).

When starting live 5.2b8 for the first time it should open with the Beta
lesson which also contains the change log.


Kind Regards,
Alex

*Improvements*

By default the Record Quantization is set to "None". Please keep in mind that Record Quantization belongs to the Live document. So if you use a template you can change the Record Quantization to the desired value there.

Several improvements for better Audio Unit stability

I dont think you will get any more plugins until you have to pay for an update.

for example: Live 6.
or : Live 7.

do you see what i mean.

will it have better cpu usage for Mac OSX powerpc machines?
