      Ableton just doesn't seem to like me I think. Ha.
      Nah, there are issues with Ableton Live, particularly 8. And even Ableton themselves have said they are not developing anything further until they have made the platform completely stable.

      Mines just seems to crash at random times occasionally. Sometimes it's when i'm overloading the processor and sometimes its just when i'm scrubbing through an mp3 i've thrown in and chopping up for a DJ set.

      I've never played a live gig with Ableton and would know that i'd be crapping it doing so because of it's likelyhood to crash on me.

      :S

      I'm going to go into a shop at the weekend and have a play with Maschine and see what it's all about.

      Oh i've got, and been through, enough interfaces already in the quest for perfection for the way I work haha.

      Not a fan of collecting actual hardware - much more to lug about for gigging - which is something I want to get into.

      i am interested to know what you mean by Abletons random stability? i have been running ableton for about 5 years now and i think it has maybe crashed about 3 times... and that is usually when i am doing stupid shit like loading up libraries of 24bit samples into massive effects chains, while actually playing..

      just curious.

      that said, i have only played briefly with the maschine, seemed fun..

      not sure i would buy one .. i prefer to spend money on actual hardware, not just interfaces for my computer.

      drooling over the octotrack from Elektron at present..

          Anyone on QBN using NI's Maschine?
          http://www.native-instruments.co…

          I'm thinking about firing along to local music shop this weekend to get a demo/play with it to see what it's all about.

          I use Ableton Live for musicmaking at the moment but i'm not a fan of it's "random" stability.

          Interested to hear what Maschine users think of it and if you use(d) other software/hardware previous for musicmaking.
