Seems that Ableton is the dream program for this ... so guess I gotta get it. I just use Digital Performer 5 and Reason 3 ... along with some guitars, synths, bass and such. Guess it's time to check Ableton out. Hmmm … the fact that the 8 x 8 is bus powered is nice … but I still gotta dream about the 8 x 16 … it looks like the business!

I think you'll be okay, really. LEDs lose half of their brightness after about 100,000 hours of continuous service (that means actual “on” time). I think you’ll be okay, really.
