Ableton 8 beta

[catnapslap]

Abletons site says only live 7 users can download and test the beta version of ableton live 8... just wondering if anyone here has tryed it yet and what they think about it. I only have live 6 at the moment lol

I don't think there are enough added bells and whistles to warrant an update . What got me with seven was the sidechaining and drumracks . But I think I'll wait till nine to bother with an update

I got 7 after the deadline, i'll be upgrading gratas!

Nice one Moniker!


Can't wait to try the new beatgridding/warping engine and the new groove engine.

Sorry I still don't see enough new stuff for me to upgrade . I mean the warp engine upgrade is nice and all but I don't have trouble with the existing one . It's not like this update is really ableton 8 it's more like 7.1 or 7.2 . All I'm saying is I really want to feel like I get my moneys worth when I upgrade a software like this .

That's where you and I differ.

For me the 8 is earned. Calling it 7.x would mean too little changes to me thus not doing it justice.
Than again, that is just based on the vids.
I still need to use it myself before passing proper judgement.

By the way, versioning based on personal preference on older engines still working fine, that would be a no no.

But the operator update looks sick . I don't know what I would do without operator and massive

[midifidler]

+1 for operator & massive what a combo, cant wait to try the new operator out!

We're sorry, this round of Live 8 beta testing is closed.

Please try again during the next round of beta testing.
bummer


Looper looks interesting as does the vocoder, and I like the new workflow features - crossfades in arrange view

take a break ProTools!
