Ableton summer offers

Peace people


Ableton seems to be getting very complicated!

Why not one simple package.

Oh -- I don't think so at ALL !! I think that while Pro Tools was playing touch and go with Leopard for 6 months ( for the Love of GOD ) leaving me and my update to 7.4 virtually USELESS, Ableton Live 7.x was way ahead of the curve. Live was up and running with Leopard from day 1; It's orchestral instruments are absolutely AMAZING; Sampler is probably one of the best samplers out there for ease of use, creativity, and programability; It's side chaining capabilities as well as it's audio to MIDI track function, drum rack(s) capabilities, use of REX as Audio files, slicing, warping . . . I could go on and on.
The relationship that Ableton has with AAS brought about a natural incentive to pick up Tassman4 ( which I had been eyeing for 3 years now, but never wanted to fork out the cash for -- until now )

I really think that Live 7 is the DAW that all DAW's should be aiming at as a major competitor -- If more people knew about how to USE Live fluently, perhaps it would be more of a threat.

Until then, I am more than happy to use it as a sound tool, a production tool, and as an instrument leaving most engineers in town that I talk to on a regular basis basically scratching their head and asking:
"How the HELL did he do that ??!! "
