I’m back in the stone age with Live 5, but I’m still getting my money’s worth. The Launchpad sure is pretty.

I’m still on 7, and glad to get an update. I (foolishly, I know) upgraded to Snow Leopard and Live has been… Let’s say unpredictable.

I do want to upgrade to 8, and could scrape up $159, but I really want to hold off and upgrade to 8 Boxed Suite. I don’t think that $349 is a bad deal for that, but my money is just too tight right now.

it’s great that ableton support users on the older version/s. one fix i’m waiting for is a mappable way to open and close plug-in GUI windows.

what with the increasing emphasis on controllers, i’d really like to be able to open/close the edit windows for my plug-in devices, without touching keyboard or mouse.

currently, there is only a keystroke that opens/closes whatever plug GUIs are already open – you can’t launch any new ones. support say that it is on their wishlist.

[...] I found it hard to believe that Ableton didn’t send a a release to Peter Kirn over at Create Digital Music. He’s been such a great supporter of the Live software and he carries allot of credibility among digital musicians. Here’s his coverage of the Live 7.0.18 fixes. [...]

Thanks for the mention Peter. It’s great to know that I would neither have to roll back to Boring Leopard as well as being able to continue working on Ableton 7.

Here I was thinking that they were trying to force an upgrade to 8, which would have been an unethical practice.

VIVA ABLETON!

Now back to writing music without those ‘complex-mode’ crashes.
