A bet its ready before bitwig!

 

gimme Gimme GIMME!!

Looking uber cool. Can`t wait to get my mits all over it.

Here`s to hoping the BitWig pressure hasn`t resorted in a "rushed job" to get it released.

Thinking of the crashy updates from 7 to 8, I was almost on the verge of giving up on Ableton.

Soooooooooo glad I hung in there.

 

BOOOOOONER

 

Yaaaaas

 

Hope a lot more changed than this.. a few changes to a few of the devices, to me, isnt that impressive, I rarely use them anyway..

I noticed an improved browser... but.. what else???

Anyway.. probably wont see it released till 2030..

 

Looks good, thanks!!

 

soo excited! better eq, nice glue comp and a comp that looks like the fabfilter one! whats next? cant wait!!!

 

As an Ableton user I can tell this is a joke.
There is nothing to get psyched about. Grab Waves' Renaissance Eq (6 band) and The Glue by Cytomic, and you are set.
The only thing I am impressed with is the video, in particular with the music.

 

i like to use the ableton devices the same reason why artic storm does it.
they get the job done but the sound quality is less than average. sometimes they feel like free synthedit plugins.
i was hoping they made them better in live 8 but instead they added a vocoder & amp.
thats why i am so excited. it feels like they are trying to improve everything whats in live 8 instead of adding new crap
the old comp looks like the fabfilter one and the new comp is similar to the glue which costs 100 bucks on its own.
hopefully the version is going to kick some ass again

 

I use it all the time to cut I think its great. Just add another point to get a steeper curve or another instance to kill even more. I'm sure more videos will follow, just hope one reasons wrong and we don't have to wait 18yrs for its release :D

Dongle protection or not, I'm sold on it already and with a bit of luck (or sense) it will have everything else in it what peeps have been crying out for.

 

I am w/ you here. When I moved to a new country, shitty laptop was the only way to cook some beats, and was
exceedingly happy w/ internal plug-ins. But that's not what one Ableton should come up w/ in new version, in all fairness,
let alone after 3 years. On a side note, Steinberg's internal plug-ins literally blow out of water Ableton ones, quality wise.

Well, this is very questionable, IMHO. I got lucky to have a friend who's in computer music since Atari's days and is a power PC user.
That being said from my very first contact w/ a PC everything was well set. However, w/ time I started being interesting in
what's going on in background and set up tones of PCs myself, from cans to 2k+ euros beasts. Never ever got complains about crashing,
and most of them machines were and still running Ableton. I can tell 90% of them guys are total rednecks when it comes to maintenance,
let alone s/thing more in depth (my former roommate was running Skype, Ableton, Poker, Firefox and Need For Speed at the same time.. I know, it hurts lol. But not a single crash. There were some, but it happened cos of badly cracked VSTs). My first contact w/ Ableton was when it has been in v7,
not a single issue ever since then. The only problem I experienced over the past 5 years was AMD. TC Powercore didn't work properly on my very first DAW machine, the other AMDs I laid my hands on were problematic too. So naturally I learned that setting DAW on an AMD based PC is a damn no-no in my book. Maybe I am a lucky alien, dunno, but it's strange that everything works like a charm for ppl that actually know a thing or two about them computers. Anyhow, this is another subject. No trolling intended though.

 

That's pretty cool, I mean improving the stuff instead of adding some bloatwere.
But the thing is their forum is over flooded w/ request that should/could improve user experience, and yet nothing happens.
Check this article, it'll give you a short insight how The job is done. Not to mention the things that Ableton users are begging to get
for years already, and are covered by Bitwig. I like Ableton, no doubt, but you know how it works, there has to be an end which marks a
new beginning. One comes, the other one goes. Cheerio

 

Well, another comp, eq and gate, exactly what the world was waiting for.

Seriously, at the moment I'd be completetly satisfied if they'd give me bezier curves, more shortcuts and perhaps a better piano roll/score editor/mouse wheel support - of course their plugins will never compete to all the fantastic the 3rd party stuff like Fabfilter or Zebra.

Or I am going to try Studio One instead... ;)

 

Same here, I prefer my PC doing one particular thing. AMD is a pain in the behind. Doing some researches I found out that major part of
developers write their codes on Intel machines, some of them, TC for instance, even encourage ppl to go Intel.
I was experimenting loading the same, heavy project on an AMD and then Intel machine. Once the CPU kicks 70-75%, AMD just can't handle it
without strange behaviors, crackles and such (even crashes), while Intel (by numbers the weaker one comparing to that test AMD) manages
to hold it stable at 90% like a boss. So I believe that's the issue on your side as well.

I don't touch Ableton's preferences much though. What you did is very cool, but in my opinion it all boils down to Windows.
I managed to run an XP w/ 17 processes in background (when idle) and still be able to do everything I want to, including fancy skinning and stuff.
It's a bit different w/ 7 though, unless one doesn't mind not having Aero.

 

no new news yet? i was hoping for a statement from ableton or something
