Just a quick note on 5.03b5:
Thanks Abe's, and everyone else that persisted, on the MIDI! Especially to Alex
Haven't had a chance to really put it's through it's paces as yet but so far my impressions are:
Fired up 5.03b4 - load up drum track, laid down a few synth lines, monitoring in, playback results in timing as loose as a strippers knickers.
Fired up 5.03b5 - load up drum track, laid down a few synth lines, monitoring in, playback results in..<drumroll>.....what you actually played!
For Live to be a functional and fully fledged DAW, along with all the other great features, MIDI timing and faithful reproduction of performance using MIDI is of prime importance. So again - thanks everyone!
