Ableton Forum

this upgrade really should be a 6.5 free update people.nothing groundbreaking happening whatsoever with this upgrade.a slicer and sidechaining finally.that alone should have been a 6.2 gift for sure.logic 8 feels,looks and more importantly sounds like a real daw.it looks like they spent all of their time on these instruments over the last year.they should have released the instruments and gave away the update.that is the only solution i can see for the abes.i have a feeling most people wont be upgrading until 8.you will always a few fanboys out there.

Here are my reasons for upgrading when it becomes available:

64 bit engine
rex file support
drum racks
slicing
Improved MIDI Timing



Does that make me a fanboy????????????

how so? From the fact that all the technology behind it was delivered by another company and Ableton just had to integrate them and give them a gui?

The only solution for.... what, exactly? Bankrupcy?

Why would you think they would rework the audio engine, rework the midi engine, improve RAM usage, add sidechaining, update several devices, create drum racks, create a slicer, add multiple automation lanes, add video export, add time-signature changes, tempo nudge, REX support, and update Operator and Sampler.....all for free?

Would you be willing to put in a year's hard work for free?

Perfectly said. It's like some of these people live in Fantasyland or something.

I think that the Abes put a lot into 7. It's true that the synths are all AAS, but what about Live 7's core upgrades. There is a lot there.

I'm ridin' with the Abes on this!!!!!

John - you're an amusing fellow, but you quit using Live, nuff said, right?? it wasn't the right tool for you.

yeah, the right tool for him is rubber, flanged, and about the size of a fire hydrant.


or maybe a neko.

neko!!! how amazingly incredibly fucked up this forum would be if we could run Nekos in our posts!!

john - you'll be back to Live. we all walk our own paths, I see yours going up around over to the Hardware hill climb, back down software lane with a freebie Logic or Sonar CD demo, through the bog of DAW frustration and back onto Ableton Lane.

who cares?
