thanks, Tone. Dell is solid--I do pc IT at work and we've had 10 Dell's rocking for three years no problems (surely just jinxed myself)....Word, the horsepower of my wife's new window's 7 $500 Asus from Best Buy has me hankering for more power, can't wait! Figured w.out monitor, thx, got that big Ha...

awesome, thanks! Question--can you freeze tracks with the UAD plugs to conserve the resources on the UAD PCI card--does it work like normal freezing in Ableton?

thanks all! I think $800 is right at my target price range, thanks Tone! Dude, maybe I should just get a Dell?!? Will check the newegg business as well, some good deals on that site!

cool, just the type of reply I'm looking for, thanks!

Finally looking at getting a desktop pc to replace my aging laptop, but not trying to blow a lot of cash or buy some fancy "music-pc" or crazy expensive alienware stuff--just a workhorse bang-for-buck pc. Any suggestions for what make/model to get, or what websites to look on??? I've been ...

Trying to decide how to invest some money back into the studio/gear....thinking about the various UAD-2 plugins (Fatso, tape echos, etc.)--I know it's not the same as the real hardware, but it's automatable and bang for buck, etc. Anyone with experience using a UAD-2 solo card on a Windows 7 desktop...

Hello Christian, thanks for the reply. we have now Looper and Max 4 Live, both releasing great powers to the party of looping loopers I posted: " without going via Bomes or a 3rd party app - and that includes M4L " Hmm, not too keen on Looper myself. I found it to be unstable - certainly ...

yeah, I still stand by all my old remarks--it can't be that hard for Ableton to create a hidden midi map "button" for the "delete" qwerty key. I.e., when you open up the midi map in Ableton, a magical "delete" button appears at the top, you map a midi pedal/note/etc. to...

dave--awesome, thanks for the scoop, definitely trying that tonight and will report back, along with the game booster, and trying to tweak BFD2 and Kontakt settings (purge unused!) to try to use RAM effeciently. H2Only--I know, it seems a bit absurd, but in my case, just using the BFD2 drum sampler ...

Hi quandry and 3phase: .... [*] I agree that being able to cut/copy/paste envelopes without content from the main automation lane of an audio or MIDI track but not from group tracks is inconsistent. We might consider either removing the cut/copy/paste envelopes commands completely or add them for g...

Elxicano—nice, thanks—gotta try the purge, I gotta rtm—good to know! Cool—I rock many file name extensions too, but hadn’t thought of jumping-off points like printing heavy vsti/midi stuff to audio, but it makes sense, and you can always jump back and re-tweak the midi part in an old file if need be...

I thought for sure this would be a huge issue and I'd get chided to search the forums and refer to a number of thread links--seriously, this doesn't bother anyone else? Is there official Ableton word on it?

no other thoughts on this--Live can only use 2-3 GB of RAM at once on a pc?!?

all you have to do is click the + on whatever track to get a new automation lane not sure this addresses my problem--I want the "copy envelope" "paste envelope" etc. buttons as options when I right click on a group track's volume automation curve, so that I can edit that curve j...

thanks, Sibanger, good to know the "official" scoop on Abletons RAM use on the pc platform. Kitekrazy--not sure if we're on the same page here--I'm having a RAM overload issue, not CPU/disc overload issues--I stream all my sample from two drives, one usb, one firewire, so the the local C: ...
