Ableton is a sick program but I personally don't like the idea of clicking a mouse button to make music. This is why I have always kept with live hardware, both for production and playing live. It's much more hands on and feels more like I'm actually playing an instrument rather than a laptop. Of course it limits me in some ways but I'd rather work harder to compensate for that than give in to the dark side.

well u can use live with midi controllers and instrument inputs as well

mouse clicking is only for moving between windows and selecting samples/synths (that too u could program on midi if really neccessary)

ya I know and the guys that do that are fine, but I still like having my blinking lights on my sequencer and samplers running in front of me. I don't mind the guys that have a computer running ableton as a processor for everything with patch cords running out to real gear and instruments, but I don't want to see another perfromance like Astral Projection played at Wemf last year... just getting tanked and clicking thier laptops. I love the guys and have ventured pretty far on some sketchy missions to see them before but I didn't like the wemf set given it was declared 'live'.

Live proformances should be as interactive with the stuff used to create the tracks as humanly possible. A little help for the hard parts from the gear is fine, but don't pre-program everything.

btw thanks for the video link... dl'ing it now.
