That's great - for those who don't have an issue with Live's other shortcomings. Over here I have decided not to upgrade to version 6 because the new "rack" function (1) does not support external MIDI pre-set recall and because (2) rack presets do not remember any MIDI cc bindings. I had high hopes for the rack as a way to swap between different setups of multi effect presets during performance (the best way to save up CPU cycles and still the reason I use an external multi effect processor pre looper) but unfortunately this was not considered important from a marketing perspective. I have been using a NFS review version of Live 6 extensively and have hands-on experience with these shortcomings. Oh well... have to turn to Bidule for comfort and to Max for inspiration ;-)) I'm really looking forward to start looping with Augustus Loop as soon as Numerology 2 is released (any week now I think). Numerology is a modern Mac application that takes full advance of OS X (AU, Core MIDI, Core Audio) which in my opinion makes it a better host.
