Re: Is it Ableton Live - or is it me?
GREAT THREAD!
Lurking here with my MacBook and Live 5.2 is running stable with much
better CPU! I have 2 EPDs I am looking forward to syncing up with
Live. Any reports on that? Particularly how well are the EDP sync
functions working with Live's midi clock? Per? Rick?
