ah thanks, interessting. I don't like the instruments from ableton too (operator is a exception). But I would never choose my sequencer because of the containing instruments. I think there are enough good 3rd party instruments out there, but I do agree that a good sound library make things much easi...

just curious, what exactly do you find limiting in ableton?

yeah I've tried that. my problem with the delay is, that you can't creat good dub delays. I would like to have a multi tab delay with more feedback and modulation in traktor pro.

it's so easy to create them in ableton with racks and so complicated/not possible in traktor. at least for me :-)

I really like salt. by the way, how can I purchase your ep? I didn't found a link.

best regards

yeah +1 the delays just suck as a effect in traktor pro, I have to say I did't like the whole fx system. the problem with external fx is that the need space... I often don't have.

I only heard them once in a music store along genelec/k&h monitors.

I really didn't like them, they are way to bright for me and I didn't hear a great offset in depth. Needles to say, this is just a personal opinion...

yeah that helps, thanks. I only have a small room at the moment, so I want a speaker that only have the bass you really need to hear ( ...I hope you get me, low bass lines etc.). feeling bass is not so important. The 8030 definitely need a sub, so my idea was to get just the 8040 and add a sub later...

the midi/audio timing of ableton live is not so tight as it should be.

I never managed to get a good timing when I route midi in/out live, yes, but as long as you use "internal midi" (softsynth, sampler) I never noticed a problem.
