Ableton Forum

A friend of mine is using Logic and is somehow managing to use Logic with an old iMac - it might even be before the G4 iMac. He is a prolific producer but has to rely on using other peoples computers a lot as he cant get much out of his existing. I was about to suggest to him to upgrade to a MacMini...

On the UK Apple site Logic Studio is £319. In the US it is $499. Using the XE currency converter $499=£247. what the **** is going on?? Shipping, Import Duty, VAT. C'mon this is with all products not just with this, and it is a pretty fair exchange for once. Look at Ableton - EUR549 & USD599 !!...

Ableton is lightning fast in syncing loops, but when you add the time of setting up the the Ableton Slave, not to mention extra computer resources consumed, and the fact that Ableton uses realtime processing, would it not be better to apply offline processing within Logic, which should give better r...

personally I'm not entirely satisfied with arranging in Live so the idea of arranging in Logic with Live slaved seems very appealing now more than ever Please explain why you would want to slave Live to Logic? I can understand the other way round (which is not possible), but Operator, Simpler, Impu...

Looks a bit like LIVE eh?

I think it looks better than live!

I hope Ableton are taking notes, and decide to focus on really improving Live, its features, and what comes with it, rather than just knocking down the price slightly.

How much was Live LE then again??

No more XS key?

What are the chances that an upgrade will work on an educational version? I know there is not meant to be an upgrade path, but since they have moved to an entirely new system - it may just work?

I am wanting to buy my best man a present to give to him at my wedding. He is into the odd computer game so I thought I would get him something portable.

What do you recommend?

PSP or DS?

How good are these guys!? They respond to technical questions on other products websites! I love your plugins man - I just wish you would include more useable presets in the melohman - I get the feeling that the presets are there to show off what wierd sounds it can make, rather than supplying us wi...

It looks damn confusing and I have ignored it so far, but just wondering if I am missing out?

http://www.appleinsider.com/article.php?id=2603 Apple Inc.'s online store has suddenly stopped offering a recent cross-platform update to the company's professional audio production software, leading to speculation that a complete overhaul of the software may be imminent. A reader on Monday noted th...

Ok, so I am running through one of the tutorials from the computer music magazine - they included the Ableton Live project file, which contained Sampler. So I enabled the demo mode of Sampler and play around with it for a while. Anyway - back to work, open my saved project and proceed to work about ...

Got it! Had to copy to library/audio/presets/u-he/zebracm.

I am a subscriber and it was just dropped through my door this afternoon.

Sounds wicked!!
