I just went through this whole ordeal with my DSL provider, ended up cutting their service. I've been without internet at home for almost three months.

I've had my Live 6 download serial for a while, but had no conveinient means to load it.

I've been in the process of cleaning out the hallway of my building so my landlord will give me the thumbs-up to have the cable people come and install a cable modem (For fast internet only! FUCK da T-VEE!)

All of my neighbors have locked wireless networks, but I scan every once in a while to see if there are any open ones... and lo and behold!

I'm online again! It's free! And I finally downloaded Live 6! Live 6 just seeped in through the walls and floor of my apartment!

THANK YOU

Thanks again for Sampler. I hope you continue to develop it. It is an inspiring tool. It makes great things very possible. It also has some very helpful, interesting features that make me want to tear into MAX/MSP and emulate. I am not sure if it inspires me more to use or to borrow ideas from. What I mean by this, is that it does not taylor specifically to everyone one of my isolated needs, but it really gives a clearer idea of what I want and how I may go about accomplishing it.

I look foward to rereading the available literature on it.

Thanks again for 6 too. The dual processor support was a sigh of relief. I am hoping it will help tide me over till the 45 nanometer-series chips come out. That helps me greatly. The deep freeze seems like a milestone accomplishment for DAW's. I believe you have set a new standard with this polished feature, and the flexability with which it can be worked with I commend.

The dynamics tube also makes me happy. Often by the midyear your new features seem quite essential to the live workflow- so much that it is hard for me to imagine working without them. Whereas before I felt consticted by my lack of midi-mapping options, I now feel a little overwhelmed by the shear possibilites.

In fact, I have extricated myself from Live for a bit simply because the desire to get "sucked in by the currents", ie: very seductive, intuitive, inherit workflows seemed to distract me from the familiar mindset of clunking around until I get what I came for.

I bring this up because it is something I have noticed many times with the guitar. If you hit a note it leads to a chord, which can lead to a phrase, to a tempo, to a melody, to a song, to a style to a genre. Bam. Just like that. Sometimes when the guitar is too familiar, however, it is not treated in away that is scientifically effective or organized. So that is when I take a break. I come back to it knowing how to operate it, when I have a clear idea what I need it for, and how I will get there ahead of time. In this sense Live is an instrument. Perhaps my favorite one. I have a feeling that Sampler may not be as universal and generically accessable, though it strikes me as fascinating and brilliantly useful tool. In some ways It wreaks of the future.

Thank you ableton for your effective designs, subjective decisions, restraint and creativity. As an artist-before-musician, I appreciate your senseability and effectiveness, and how it leads towards bringing great joy to people's lives.

Sincerely,

Lawrenceville OFA

Thanks for Henke, the most lovable audio-geek on the other side of the pond...

There's a manual?

Tone Deft · Post by **Tone Deft** » Fri Feb 09, 2007 6:19 pm

+1 on these last two posts.

I always get a kick out of watching Henke's youtube vids, he seems like he's still a kid at heart, giggling over his creations, then I realise he's part of a very small team that made some software that blows my mind, not to mention his music is outstanding and he's a touring musician. Not bad, Sir Henke, not bad at all...

Re: the manual, that's why I've started to quote to people from the manual or just tell them the page the info is on. The index is pretty good and the manual is a pretty short read from topic to topic. Maybe I can encourage people to open it up before asking what warp is. It's also tough to remember what's it's like to be a n00b with Live.

big thanks to ableton for the awesomeness of live.
and i am still using live lite too!

i haven't found a need to upgrade yet, except maybe more tracks, but 4 audio and 4 midi is perfect for me! and a while ago i downloaded the free live6 lite upgrade so more madness, and more thank you's

if i just wasnt so damn poor i'd get the full thing
