Ableton Live - has it lost its mojo?

[punkdISCO]

Morning all

Yes, the new every 6 months thing I can relate too :(

I know I started this discussion but I'm actually very happy with live.  I just find it strange that their releases have ground to a halt in the last few years..

But as people have said: live us now mature and there is only so much functionality needed...

I wonder if you are suffering from the modern age issue of having something new every 6 months :-)


But on your original post, I don't feel any of the Live's lackings, if you can call them that for now, are a big deal.  I still love working in Live as I did from when I got my hands on version 1.5.  


My only gripe is that I wish it wouldn't crash on me as often as it does.  Even the move to 64-bit hasn't seemed to make any dent in that dept.  So, I would like stability, and some more skins :-)

Hey Peter

Yeah, despite the fact that I started this thread, there is nothing that feel is missing from Live with the exception of:

1) naming MIDI and Audio i/o.  Im scared to count the hours of my life that Ive lost trying to work out why SynthA is not working only to discover that it is audio input "27" and not "28" (ditto with MIDI).

2) More flexible window arrangement.  I actually did not consider this one until I saw how Bitwig does window management..

I guess I should not grumble and just make music  :)
