It seems that they have addressed the one thing that users and non users
have complained about and that's the audio engine. To my ears, it did sound
a bit vanilla. Now, they've twaeked it.

Well, I'm not a true believe in the mix buss voodoo crew to begin with, but
if it sounds better I have no problem with that. IMHO the main reason Live
sounds weaker is because often the projects done in it use time stretched/beat
sliced loops. There's no way to keep pristine sound quality with that stuff.
However, my highest end soft synths (i.e. the Spectrasonics synths) sounds
as good in Live as they do in any other app.

My guess is that the '64 bit mixing engine' has a lot more to do with the
marketing department than it does Robert Henke.

Still, some of the new features look really cool.

I don't know Thad, many hard core Live users I know, who uses Live to Track
sessions with it (No elastic audio)..They say it's sounds too vanilla. so,
they import the session to Pro Tools to mix which has a very nice mid-top
end sound (with the same m-audio) audio interface.

To my ears, when I have to work in Sonar, it's the same bland sound..We take
the tracks, import to Nuendo to mix..
