In 4 ...I appreciate your diplomatic approach, Anon. In 4 or 5 years of using Ableton Live, I've never encountered any problem that I could trace to the PDC limitation, and I know there are lots and lots of happy users out there who've not encountered it either.<br /><br />So, while I completely understand that it's infuriating for people who encounter it, I do not consider it a showstopping problem since it at least <i>seems</i> like most users just don't encounter it in their own work.<br /><br />I still feel there's no better place to start learning DAWs than Live, but I sympathize with anyone whose work has been complicated by the PDC problems. Fingers crossed that they'll figure it out soon.Ultimate Outsiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09004247608053632633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4399960513082382706.post-75264280720452358422015-02-20T05:17:47.543-08:002015-02-20T05:17:47.543-08:00I'd have to agree with Mark. Not a minor issue...I'd have to agree with Mark. Not a minor issue....and it is talked about alot on nearly all forums about Live. <br /><br />I've had hope that they'd fix the automation PDC issues since Live 7. That's how long I've been waiting on them to fix this issue. <br /><br />I love Ableton as far as its approach to production....but I'm sick of rewarding them and giving them the benefit of the doubt. They won't fix this glaring issue until their forced to. <br />But by all means keep pretending it's not an issue and "hope" they'll fix it sometime soon. <br /><br />Why would anything having to do with keeping things in time not be important in music production? Especially something that can creep in so gradually that it can sneak up on you as you progress in making ur music. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00209209925047346520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4399960513082382706.post-74084177035823263032013-08-16T07:53:22.264-07:002013-08-16T07:53:22.264-07:00It's pretty clear that you and I are never goi...It's pretty clear that you and I are never going to agree on the true practical scope of the problem.<br /><br />Do rock on, Triple-M, in whatever DAW that you like best.Ultimate Outsiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09004247608053632633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4399960513082382706.post-27835797160285192282013-07-28T12:07:11.735-07:002013-07-28T12:07:11.735-07:00Oh yeah, those threads where half the posts are ba...Oh yeah, those threads where half the posts are basically "What are you guys talking about? I don't have any of these problems?"<br /><br />The Ableton forum is the asshole of the musical Internet- but even if it weren't, forum regulars are not representative of any product's general user base. Hardly anyone goes to a forum to say, "Hey, this product works exactly like I expected! I haven't had a single issue!" Most folks are there to ask for help or complain.<br /><br />No one's saying the technical limitation doesn't exist. Even Ableton has acknowledged it time and again. My position, as stated in my original post, is that only a minority of users ever actually face problems as a result.<br /><br />And after re-reading your last comment, it seems like even you acknowledge that it only causes noticeable symptoms in certain situations- so can you please explain why the shit we are arguing about this?<br /><br />And come on, man. Accusing someone of using cracks is the music forum equivalent of correcting an opponent's spelling and grammar. It's a way of saying, "I don't have any more arguments, but I still wanna fight."Ultimate Outsiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09004247608053632633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4399960513082382706.post-8044553181925581532013-07-17T07:45:35.239-07:002013-07-17T07:45:35.239-07:00Thanks for responding in such a reasonable and non...Thanks for responding in such a reasonable and non-confrontational manner! Yours is the kind of comment that makes a blogger think, "Hey, this chap must REALLY know what he's talking about! I'd better stop what I'm doing right now and take advantage of his hard-earned wisdom!"<br /><br />The fact that I know so many Live users who ask, "So what's this PDC thing people keep complaining about?" tells me there are lots of folks who don't encounter any deal-breaking issues with it. I use automation in Live all the time and I've never had problems with it either.<br /><br />I'm sorry if you've struggled with it in your work. I'm sure it was frustrating for you; it's not fun when technical issues get in the way of your art.<br /><br />But being a dick on the Internet isn't going to change the fact that there are thousands of people using Ableton Live this very minute without a single complaint.Ultimate Outsiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09004247608053632633noreply@blogger.com
