Damn, this topic has generated a lot of replies...I'm behind. I realized that I have the version of Live that is ready to integrate with Pro Tools LE. It is Live Digidesign Version 2.1. I'll check it out and see if it works....anything to avoid using my sound card, which is very bad. I agree, the routing capabilities with Pro Tools are excellent. Basically, each channel has 5 effect inserts, and five buss inserts. Each buss insert can link to a buss fader with 5 effect inserted in it, and so on. I can also create more than one fader for the same instrument, with different effect configurations, muting those I want to use or not, etc. I don't have a CPU problem with ProTools, but we'll see what happens when I load Live and a bunch of VST plugin. I have a 2.4ghz processor...we'll see.

(was RE: RE: A poll--shoes off?) i use ableton live 4.1 with my g4 laptop/mbox combo. with the digi core audio driver (in os x) you can utilize the mbox ins and outs with any audio software. using pro tools draws too much cpu (for my stuff anyway) and live is friendlier in that regard. the nice thing about using pro tools is its more flexible routing possibilities using aux channels. live's send/receive architecture works fine for my purposes, i just like the pro tools structure better. the way you assign midi/keystroke controls in live is also a heck of a lot easier than with pro tools. i use a tascam us428 and a niche faderbox for midi control, though almost anything that sends midi cc messages will work just fine with live. cheers bruce On Mar 7, 2005, at 2:08 PM, Kris Hartung wrote: > What software are you running to host your effect plugins?
