So with Ableton 8 does that mean that the DJ has even less to do with the DJing than with Ableton 7 ? Is there a “Go Make A Cup Of Tea, Ill Do This Mix For You” Button now ? Hahahaha Ableton, Shmableton hahaha _waits for a good kickin’_ ---

Hahahaha > > Ableton, Shmableton hahaha > > _waits for a good kickin’_ Don’t hate Karlos…I must scold you on this. Traktor has ‘Sync’ and ‘Quantize’ functionality, along with automixing. It’s just one step away from being Ableton-like, as compared to Serato. Everything is a tool, and it’s how you use it. Shame shame my favorite Redcoat…I didn’t expect this from you! Now…go fix me a true Yorkshire Pudding. ---

> [@Karlos\_Santos](#): > > Yeh blah blah we will see. > > er… whats Max for Live ? even as it sounds like a male enhancement solution. I believe this will be a huge step forward with regards to creative expression. This really opens new possibilities for producers and DJ alike. I look forward to this synergy. Vague enough for you? ---

> [@BentoSan](#): > > is that a serious question ? :\ > > see here - [Max for Live | Ableton](http://www.ableton.com/extend) Oh that, yeah thats something quite different again though aint it. I mean thats a hell of a lot of fannying around. Programing and stuff. Im not convinced that will affect the average club DJ . Definitely a step forward for the musician/artist though. Whos Max though. Does he work at Ableton …😃 ---

I bought the Live 8 Upgrade last night. Feels like very little has changed on a superficial level. Although warping looks and feels much better. ---

I also had a download waiting for me at Ableton, when I arrived @home, I found out I had no intarwebz for the entire evening! I hope I have better luck today! 😞 ---

> [@Karlos\_Santos](#): > > So with Ableton 8 does that mean that the DJ has even less to do with the DJing than with Ableton 7 ? lol i think you’re being pretty liberal with your use of the word “DJ” in this sentence. I scoff at “ableton djs” . SCOFF! HEY-OH!!! but all kidding ( not really kidding) aside. I’m really looking forward to this release. 🙂 ---

… MaxforLive, Live 8 and Serato integration (plus APC40 and all the controllerism/turntablism approarch) will kick “the way” and Traktor is going in the same direction. Boring? there is no blame on tool, there “Tooltablist Responsability”. Things are changing and Maxmsp/Pure Data are the breakrulerssss Enjoy your way and look the others! (don’t hate you will be on the dark side soon little padawan!) … ---
