Ableton Live 7: Features and Free Upgrade

Just wanted to remind myself and everyone else to upgrade their Ableton Live 5 before 1/31/08.

"All users who buy and unlock their Live 6 or Live 6 Upgrade between October 1, 2007 and January 31, 2008 will get a free download upgrade to Ableton Live 7, plus attractive instrument bundle offers at release date. Get your upgrade here."

"Ableton Live 7 renews the core of Live with enhancements to the audio engine including 64-bit mix summing, new and improved devices with side-chaining capability, better MIDI timing and hardware integration. We have also included the most-requested features, such as time signature changes, video export, multiple automation lanes and much more. Version 7 marks the arrival of the new "Drum Rack" which streamlines beat production via an easy drag-and-drop interface and offers native sliced audio and REX file support, bringing endless creative possibilities to beat lovers."

I am really excited that ableton is incorporating side chaining so I won't have to use plugins. The new instruments are a suprise and the drum machines look like they are going to be really solid. Live 7 is going to be one of my xmas presents that I recieve next year. Can't wait for it. Check out all the info on their site and see whats ahead.....
