Ableton 9 who's getting it? What do you think so far?

[SJJVEN]

Got the demo last night, running the 64bit version and I'm liking it so far. Honestly I really like the simple design of the UI.
Is it just me or does it sound a bit better then live 8? I don't know if my ears are playing tricks on me but it sounds a bit better to me.

Is anyone else having issues with Waves bundle not showing in the x64 version?

+1 on this... I will never understand why people nee it to look like a video game. I just want clean simple, and for it to work really well. To each their own though...



Are you talking about Maschine? I downloaded Live 9 last night but didn't get to test everything out. I am hoping my maschine is working out ok!

Yep Lance. The Maschine Mk2 Script that previously worked in 8 does not work in 9. Its said that Native INstruments currently has a mapping beta so it should be ??soon??

Waves 9 Padi? The AUs are hit and miss in the 8 Beta for 64 bit, VSTs wont show up at all, same with 9. 32 bit is the only way to get them to work here on OSX. On Windows I have no issues no matter the platform. Both waves and ableton gave the same response "they dont support each other" lol. I know this was an issue awhile back for OSX but thought it had gotten resolved, I moved on from OSX though so Im afraid I cant be much more help than that.

As they said on ableton website x64 isnt stable so go for the 32 for safety.

I only use the 8 for one month and it seems the same to my ears operator make me sick it soud like alien technology to my ears but maybe it just an impression.

They simply recommend the 32 bit version because its called CYA. They even clearly state the facts, 64bit compiled routines do not affect how the CPU handles at all, just the ability to access additional memory.

The above Waves plugin problem anyways has nothing to do with Stability it has to do with Waves not supporting Ableton officially and Ableton not supporting VST Shell natively ;P

Waves 9 Padi?

Yeah Waves 9.8, works fine with x32 tho.

Sucks that I have to stick with x32, I've run into a few out of memory Ableton popups recently with Kontakt heavy projects. Would love to be able to take full advantage of the 8gb i have with Live.

I take back my previous post, if you go to NI Update, in content updates there is a download for the new MK2 Template they released on the 7th

I bought it, and also pre-ordered push. I had to immediately change the default color scheme, it was really not quite contrasty enough for me. But that's not exactly a big deal

I installed the 64-bit version. So far it's been totally fine, and my plug-ins (Komplete 8 mostly) all seem to work.

I already have a Maschine, so I think the Push might be somewhat overlapping. As much as I like Maschine, there are times where I want to do similar things in Live, and pulling things over from Maschine can be a kludge.
