Correct,

I just purchesed the boxed update and have it now installed on my Powerbook.
(I downloaded Live 5 from their web-site and the box is being shipped to me in a few days).
Now I'm trying out the new features, and hope to be able to use them on a gig on the 30st in Amsterdam...

Version 5 is absolutely excellent. I wrote my next Traum 12" with it. I don't think I will be using Fruity Loops again for some time

It's way way more fun to play with things in Ableton and the sound is just stellar when you treat it right.

I upgraded last nite...and was swindled into buying operator.

No other program comes close to what live is doing.

It's indeed amazing what you can do with it.

I really loved version 4, but version 5 is even better...

The new features rock, for example the beat repeat device

I do almost everything in Live..

anyone using live5 with a hardware synth/effect setup? I'm wondering if I'm going to switch from logic/cubase, and use live as my only daw. has they introduced destructive editing and such functions yet? I'm doing all my (midi)sequencing on a hardware sequencer (mpc), so I will mainly be working with audio tracks - is it worth it?

the reason why I want to switch is because I'm dead tired of steinberg and their _slow_ programs. and I've had alot of issues with logic, which used to be my main daw, once.

EDIT: I'm aware of that you can use an external editor for destructive editing, but does that work smoothly? (and I don't have the $ to buy any external editor so I'll have to settle for the free audacity one)
