192 pounds I guess.

Sorry yes, my bad.

the_planet, I think we're well aware of what Live can do. I've personally been using it for "djing" for a good few years now.

The point is that Live could do with more focus on the performance aspect and less on the DAW imo.

I think we're reading from the same page SubFunk.

I'm still on Live 6. I've been using Live since version 2 but didn't see the need to update this time.

*Any* recognition from Ableton that Live can and is being used for DJing would be nice. It wouldn't take much for me and the really obvious things to improve are suggested by people like us all the time on the forums. I know, they want to compete with Cubase/Logic/Sonar but, as others have also poin...

€192 in Thomann.de for the AK1, €339 for the Audio 8 DJ.

I'm looking at this (to go with two Faderfoxes too funnily enough).

I'm also looking at the Audio 8 DJ. The extra ins and outs would come in handy.

There's also this, ESI U46 SE.

Note, I'm looking at this too. I've not tried anything yet.

I'm leaning toward trying a NI AudioKontrol 1. I need to see one in person first though, maybe even try it myself before buying.

Having said that, my problem with the MacBook Pro is that its a desktop replacement as far as I'm concerned and that's is something I don't want. I'm not the only person that wants a small and powerful laptop that isn't a pain in the arse to carry around. A 13" Pro without the dvd drive and de...

I think you over-estimate the size of the market that needs FW.

It's a shame I know.

This is potentially the beginning of the end for Firewire. The indignation is also from people who've been waiting for a small MBP (not a huge 15" laptop), when it arrives Apple drop the ball. As commented above, it would have been better to drop gigabit ethernet. We'll probably see more USB2 a...

Thanks Robin for bringing that topic, I would have never noticed that nice little NI box. It is much better sounding, lower latencies then Audiofire that i had for some time when they came out. Some basic controller functions are really useful. Specially that you can choose midi or keys so I will s...

ANyone have one of these? Are they out yet?

stutter wrote:the midi isn't, not for me anyway, and I don't think for anyone. Ew reads this forum, and moderates at NI, so perhaps he can give you a fully accurate Mac-related answer. Or you can ask over there, or pm him.

Thanks mate, that's useful.

First of all they might only be talking about the audio parts only, or they might be talking about some possible future version of the software. They do that. I'm not a fan, as you might have guessed, but by all means, ask on their forum. I'd rather trust your judgement than risk it tbh. I'll be us...
