Live 8
Just played around with Live 8 for a while, and since I use Live for DJing, I'm very bitter about the new version.
The thing I really don't like is the entire warping area. The new way to warp is time consuming and really not good when you need to warp something on the fly. I can see the new warp engine will be useful for producers, but it doesn't help out DJs at all.
This is only my first impression, I might go back and have another go at it but right Live 7, it takes me > 30 to warp a track and I'm good to go. I really don't see that happening with 8.
I also hate how the waveform display is just a big block. You can really see where the track is going when you're zoomed out all the way because it's just a big fucking rectangle. Big mess up there, huge!
Again, for production, from what I've seen this has a lot of new features that are going to be extremely useful -- but I feel like they left out DJs in this release.
