i don't know the excact number, but in that department Logic for example beats the hell out of Live and all other DAWs, if you have a good fully weighted hammer action controller keyboard and are a player, then you hear simply every single / super tiny nuance, while recording a midi sequence.Also, i think i read that live's midi resolution was 480ppq, but i could be wrong... it still hasn't been confirmed, unless someone else has a reference? PT's is 960ppq, but that's standard. However, this may be why some people have midi sync issues, especially with MPC (depends what version of the hardware).. i can't confirm this, this is just my guess.
to me this is very important, i am not a good player at all, actually i can only play extremely poorly, but have to record often serious piano players. and it would be a shame to kill their playing skills / FEEL with "quantisation" or to be exact with mediocre midi resolution.
besides all other mentioned issues which are true, -> adonis of course you can make a jam with any apps, that is i guess not the point of discussion, the point is that there are DAWs with functions you simply either need for a certain job or do make live easier and saving very precius time.
not all people who are involved in music only writing jams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ever thought of that??
you can essentially make music even with the most outdated gear / software... slowest wreck computers, that is out of question, unless i missunderstand the discussion.
and simply Live as great as it is, does not supply a lot of what for a lot of people is an essential necessarity.
