Thank you Dom for your response, it made a very interesting read.

On a side note when will ableton release a " I heart Dom" t-shirt? :mrgreen:

@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 system properly. (And of cause by keeping system and data on separate disk-partitions)

you need to ban me from the forum if you want me to stop attacking dennis agressively in person whenever i possibly can, unless he is staying the fuck away from the forum (i don't care what he is contributing to ableton in the background) and especially me.

get someone else to moderate the forum or ban me, if you have a problem with my way of dealing with him. those are the only two options.

Please don't ban SF. Watching a grown man (?) being such a hardass on the Internet is much too enjoyable.

I'm sad to hear such things and i think i'm by far not the only one in this community to see it that way.
You're welcome to send us an email whenever your mind changes, besides this aggressive stance you have been of value to this place and we're thankful for this.

Best,

is this the agressive stance?
SubFunk wrote:the real expert has spoken to sell more ableton licenses to both camps. wow.

i love the strong personal opinion not based on who is paying his bills.
not very agressiv in my understanding...

however i dont understand the animosity because dennis is much more polite and relativistic than his forrunner that thanks to the laws of the peter principle has been promoted out of public affairs...
It was allways like that that ableton emploes stated perfection, stability and pristine audio and midi performance of theire product.. thats nothing new..and pretty understandable.. just dont ask them... ask the other users !
Thats what the forum is good for.. same with apples forums..want to learn about potential problems of an actual modell.. join the diss-cushion

So i dont see any reason for your animosity except private chumbut affairs, and that really dont belongs here..

but i guess you cant read that because the one none should speak its name is in love to the ultimate power to ban people from the most bright forum in the audioworld...

good luck

There is so much great information within the forum, we all get carried away and hijack threads from time to time but it is great to see that respect is the rule here. Peace.
this.

still, it's a piece of software we're talking about not the middle east. for <enter preferred religon here>'s sake.
