yeah, i'd like to do the whole Live 8 & Max4Live upgrade from Live 6, but I just upgraded Logic Studio and I just don't have the bucks! If Live8 *included* M4L (and instruments as luscious as Logic Studio, and a great loop browser), it would be reasonable, but this is out of the park. It's very cool, but I think the Ableton stuff is very overpriced. On Fri, Nov 6, 2009 at 9:55 AM, Chris Sewell <lunamusic@mac.com> wrote: > If only it sounded as good as Mainstage.
