    Okay, improved effects are always welcome but that Link Audio thing looks interesting. So it looks like you can stream audio over network between Live and other Ableton things (Push, Move, Note). If it's stable and the latency is tolerable that looks like a great way to jam together.

    But like Link before the SDK will be public so other devs can implement it too. Will this take off? Link is pretty widespread so this might be too eventually.

    *edit* CDM has detailed a breakdown

    yes i saw that!

    Link for working with friends in a collab is crazy feature. (Now you just need producer friends?)

    I really hope we can still keep legacy effects?

    I like these small updates.

    After all this time i still havnt used Ableton Tagging, because Favourites are still faster for me.

    Saving searches is a ncie idea, but it would be better to create your own lists of plugins by drag and drop.
    (Collect all vocal plugins, would require to tag, then search and save this search ... its still useless.)

    My favourite & game changer update is HARDWARE RESYNC wooooow
    [​IMG]
    If you have external synths you know the pain of weird glitches or sometimes you hold an ARP on your synth and it drifts horribly away from the project tempo/sync
    This is a massive update
    We no longer have weird MIDI clock weirdness or jitters with Ableton
    My setup is moog Messenger, behringer Model D, behringer MS-1
    Sometimes I'm running them at once without any weird sync/MIDI clock issue
    That's a game changer this is a huge win for Ableton over Bitwig
    I can't do this painless hardware syncing in Bitwig

    You know how to get the installers...
    Register on Centercode (you know the rest...vc_runtime_1 still works with betas I'm currently running v12.4b7 Suite)
