......Last but not least, I want to give you a sneak peek at something for the future: We’re work-
ing on some major “elastic audio†features for Pro Tools that will revolutionize the ways you
can work with tempo-changing or loop-based audio material directly inside Pro Tools. This
new environment will use super-high-grade time compression/expansion to make sure your
audio quality stays intact; audio snippets will be automatically analyzed without any extra
work on your part, and you can audition elements you might want to try against the ma-
terials in your session while the transport plays, with everything “in the groove,†so work is
totally fluid. These capabilities are not an entirely new concept, but adding them alongside
all the other goodies in Pro Tools is really exciting, and offers even more flexibility for your
creative options. I’m pumped about using this stuff, and I hope you will be too...
That’s all the time I have for now... until next time!

think it'll take about a 35ghz G9 or something, but it will be a big step.
For years tools users have had to do everything the long-way.
This will change the music industry.

awesome.
It will do what Ableton has been doing for years, but most likely better. Plus the myriad of other functions that it renders Ableton obsolete with. <-
Industry standard.
Standard.
Even ACID has been doing beat-mapping for ages (longer than Ableton). Tools has had this function embedded in the 'Beat Detective', but it's just a bitch to use. A bit of R+D, bit of maths and there ya go.... looking forward to checking it out.
Yeah. Live definitely ain't the best sounding engine, but that probably hasn't damaged its sales too much. Ultimately it was always about user-friendliness and I hope it never loses that aspect.
As it is, I enjoy the best of both worlds with the combo of ProTools and Ableton Live Lite.
Mind you,
I still use the same version of Cooledit pro, that I used to run on Windows 95. For Mastering, the EQ Hardlimit are great and the high qual sample rate convertions keeps my tracks pumpin at 16bit.
so, it's about what works for you and what you like the sound of.

Wavelab for me. With the Appogee UV22HR converter... boh!
yeah cool, i have been on soundforge for years, dont think i will ever drop that for say wavelab, altho i am going full blown steinberg user now
i opened up ableton the other day and felt a tad embarrassed with myself to be painfully honest. It really is like a toy in comparison to Logic, Tools and Nuendo / Cubase
AND as for sound...well to me it was like someone had lifted a thin sheet from between myself and my monitors!
yes ableton still has a place in the world, its just not on my workstation pc, maybe my live-rig laptop that'd be it
