Sorry to sidetrack. I'm tempted to get max 4 live with this discount period... The discount on M4L leads me to believe that they will be including it with Live 9 Suite or at least some sort of M4L runtime. Any thoughts on that? That would definitely be worth the upgrade price I would think. ...yes ...

@sublimelobc The big noticeable difference for me is the huge amounts of time saved by not having to do "fresh installs" of an operating system and then all the software. ... you can reduce this time to virtually zero (i.e. ~5 minutes) by making a disk-image once you have set up your syste...

ist vielleicht mein rechner zu langsam ?

...würd ich auch so sehen! Ein Athlon 1.4GHz ist schon eher vorsintflutlich und ein neuer Rechner kostet ja fast nix mehr!

... i usually turn it off, if i don't use it for half an hour or so. Not only cause of the enviroment, but i don't want to have any unnecessary electromagnetic radiation around me !!

when sending MIDI between different programms via virtual MIDI-cables (e.g. midiyoke) the MIDI-bandwith limitation (31k/s) is obviously irrelevant (which does not mean there are no limitations)
Use one of the common MIDI-Monitor programms to find out, what is actually going on.

...yes, indeed!
No idea what is the hidden secret of Live and the Mousewheel

And I promise, if they don't address this in the next release, I will do it myself !

come on guys, we can't even assign undo to a midi controller, shame on you! .. yes indeed ! And BTW, a more flexible approach to Editing-history and Undo would all too often be a real life(live)-saver. Simple options what to put in the history or what do undo ! Sigh! Another hope for Max4Live .....

This is bar none the single feature i NEED most!!

...yes, too many times i got annoyed about that.
But, alas, i only own LiveLite, so not too much to control anyway.
And with time you can become quite proficient in mapping controllers.
Meanwhile i can do it almost with closed eyes at 100 BPM

nobody ???

... because you can't!

A very serious shortcoming, at least for me. Apparently not so for most Live-users, but it kept me from upgrading so far.
Looks like we have to wait for Max4Live. Hope they will do their homework then...

I consider the concept of program changes a relict from hardware devices which was necessary due to the limited number of MIDI channels. With software DAWs program changes are (a) not needed as you can have a virtually unlimited number of instrument tracks, and (b) not reliable with respect to timi...

How do you expect that to work? Let's say your first program is A and the second one is C. If you change to program 2 you will get "C". In the meantime you add program "B", mean that NOW program 2 will mean "B" instead of "C" formerly. As long as there is no ...

there was a bit of discussion around this topic recently, but it mainly evolved in the direction of eventual workarounds. But nobody afaik has even a hint about the question: Why there are no MIDI-programchanges in Live?? I mean, when our forefathers invented MIDI back in the Stoneages they thought ...

... because it's so close to the essence of music, which is Varied Repetition

( or, to put it into other words: because our brains work that way )

I have to say I don't like zooming with the wheel. I really like the way it is (drag in the "tempo line" obove the arrange and pull down/up. works great for me. I want my wheel for other stuff. yes, so do i, i want my wheel for other stuff. For the most obvious of all, editing the control...
