I love Ableton Live

[Proxima4]

Deep - undoubtedly. I've bought in at a great price. I just need to find the time to understand it. It's not easy teaching an old dog new tricks!

It took me a while to "click" with Live. That was at v5 ... I have 8 Suite and M4L now and can't imagine using anything else. The session view rules imho

Indeed, nothing beats jamming with a few loops and a decent synth, sometimes the spontanious beats the arranged when your not trying hard.

[agentgomez]

That is all

I think I would quit music without Live....seriously ! 64 bit is coming, the love is even greater.

I know others have problems with it, but we don't. None, zilch. Live EDM, Djing, remixing, producing. Whatever we think of next, Live is always ready.

I'm not a fan

I picked up nativeKontrol LPC last night. I've set it up but don't think I will get a chance to play with it for a while yet, but I am really looking forward to messing with it.

I love it too! I have been hooked since 1.5. I have not been able to make the 64b beta crash. I have hammered it with over 9GB of 4 Omnispheres loaded. I have been doing the usual bad things too, like adding a VST while it's playing, still just keeps jamming.
I'm just giddy right now.

I never have had all the issues which some have done using Live, Its usually either a plug-in that will crash it or me by doing something stupid which will crash it (but I always record those howling messes of feedback loops and then go dipping in the folder it was saved into pre-crash/whilst crashing/whenever it empties its loads (So its done deliberately in that case)

5, 6 and 7 I had no major problems with at all either. I can say one thing - It has got nothing to do with 'good luck' as myself and good luck are incompatable

Have fun Goseba with the LPC when You do , Best to all as always

The only bugs I've had in three years is Live crashing when a mix gets to 3.2GB in size.

Crashing while playing the midi controller and at the same time draging a soundtoys plug into a track.


Jbridge fixed the Ram crash a year ago. Now with 64bit Live nobody can crash due to mixes being too large for a 32bit DAW although they still need Jbridge for the 32bit plugins.

I'm 'named' after it

Have fun Goseba with the LPC when You do ,

I managed to find 30 minutes this evening to have a play with LPC and I think I am going to love it.
There is a lot to learn with it but I think once I have spent some decent time with it, it will be quite fun and inspiring

I'm lovin' how stable the 64bit beta relase of Live 8 is....

Full Live 8 suit, all instruments (sans M4L for now, but thats a cycling issue...) all 64 bit, all working for me...there seem to have been very few isues reported, and the 3 that were reproducable were fixed in a week with the auto-updater (I love the way it auto-updates now!)

GREAT JOB

[bkwsk]

(I love the way it auto-updates now!)

GREAT JOB

Curiously, lots of people complaining about the auto-update feature at Ableton's forums.

[crawlingwind]

That is one program I would be very afraid to have auto update.

I bought Live at the weekend in the 33% off deal (plus Sampler). I've got to be honest and after many years as a Logic/Cubase user, I find the workflow incredibly hard to understand. I can understand the concept, but I'm finding it all a bit confusing at the moment. I am getting there though (I think)!

I just bought Live last week, having worked in Cubase for a year. I tried live demo twice before, but just got frustrated. The third time was the charm and now I really like it! I still like Cubase...but Live is just feeling better, and I'm not into using loops for my percussion (you know how Live is always been known for this). I just like working in it.

What changed on the third attempt to make it click with you?

I've tried it 3 times too and am still roughly equally confused. I think the paradigm of writing music in this software must be so different from everything else that I'm having trouble with that. I'm still thinking in other ways... similar to listening to foreigners speak your language and they pronounce the vowels incorrectly (for your language), but they don't realize that because it seems correct to them (still thinking in their native language).

What I could use is a FREE video tutorial ala the groove3 Live! tutorials.. but again free.. just to understand how this software works..

waiting for a free access pass to groove3 or another site with similar hand-holding videos to show me around the software.

[hibidy]

I just got on board.

For me it's simple, live lite 8 (x64) did everything I needed it to do w/o the lame single core limitations of maschine or shit not working right all the time (er, sonar anyone??) and it's fun.

I've put so much time into it last week, I'm starting to wonder how I lived w/o out (of course I just recently found out that the x64 beta works so well )
