Have you tried LIVE on mac os 9 yet?

I miss the answer: Yes but I didn't like it. This poll is a bit biased. 

Actually I did install Live but couldn't get it registred. So I used the demo. I understand the workflow and benefits. However I didn't feel the need to keep/buy it. If I would perform live I would defnitely use it.

Yes I have tried it, but I don't like it.
I don't need or want nothing of what Ableton live offer, and it lack some important things for me.
I feel irritating his aspect and "mono-window" view...
Each musician has his own needs, style and workflow...

For me is very important Ballade and I now that for others may be an un-useful piece of shit.
That's why there's a lot of Apps to choose ...

I had installed but couldnt make anything with it.

honestly, comments like this blow me away! i think u guys are confused by its interface in some way? its the only explanation...

its really not all that different from cubase i mean in cubase, u make a new track, u draw in a new "cubase part" and record midi/record audio to this part.. thats the cubase approach right..

in live u make a new clip, u reocrd midi/record audio to this clip.. it works the same way except in live the tracks are arranged left to right instead on the left top to bottom (like in cubase)

u can then loop these clips and have the loops of different lengths continuing to cycle.. independant of a main timeline cursor.. to achive this in cubase u would have to use the repeat command to repeat your parts out quite literally.. dont u?
this comment from arjen_1..
he says he can loop his clips in cubase with his motif to achieve similar results as live?
is this possible? to have invididual parts in cubase looping over and over? while the main timeline cursor keeps continuing further left->right?

i am no master of any program..as most people know just what they  know , but theres always holes or gaps in their knowledge that can be improved upon... to learn +  further techniques approaches that expand their knowledge sometimes can be easily achieved just by a few people sharing a few things

with these audio programs there is often 'more than meets the eye' sometimes even the most simple ideas can be obscured + not seen, or not fully understood right away

logic, vision, ableton, + yes even cubase.. all can have these 'secrets' hidden in plain sight that not all are aware of , even after years of use!!!!

I was searching online to make a looper to play live with ableton as a guitar looper. In that search almost everyone used a OSX newer version or windows version thanks to bome and midi yoke. That leave me without interest on ableton . The mix engine ofcubase,  Logic and protools is far superior. I had no need to use some tools or ableton while I know the tools I need to make it in Logic/PT.
It is not only ableton. Digital performer has something dark that make me not fully understand it as I understand Logic or Protools.

honestly jorge i think u should try ableton and put this 'looper' idea on the shelf for a bit at least untill
u realize a better understanding of the app itself..  ableton is just like cubase but with some amazing differences of being able to trigger your sequences "live" afterwards... meaning u can interact with the recorded parts that have already been recorded and "play" them to find new ways to arrange .. its more about "LIVE" remixing + arranging  by pressing buttons to switch between clips .. it definately lends itself more to electronic music.. but u can have this same approach to remixing an organic acoustic guitar performance to come up with some abstract results!

imagine being able to map your pre-recorded material in cubase to the QWERTY buttons on the keyboard and pressing them to switch the parts, ie to jump from chorus to intro and then to outro different segments + phrases of your song, at the touch of a button like a video game..
THIS IS WHAT LIVE IS... this looper idea that kid beyond made up is amazing but most people dont make music this way... where the actual producing of sounds is a seamless performance.. he took things to a new leevel there for sure but most people have no need to produce like this.. we have no problems taking a  piss + grabbng a snack inbetween parts HAHAHA:)

I have Live v1.0-1.5 which I bought for only a few dollars. I have tried it and some later versions but never liked it much.

It's too damn "groovy"! Most music production workflows I find tend to be either linear or loop-based. I am not either! So it is hard for me to find software which suits me. I do like to play live, but I am neither an instrumentalist nor a DJ, what I prefer is to generate interesting patterns and sequences in real time using algorithms. So DAWs (as they conventionally are) are not really for me.
