....pretentious Abelton Live beard-strokin' Mac-propaganda-spoutin' cretins who take every oppurtunity to cut down Acid software and insult those who use it!

y'know what - I gave Abelton Live a really fair chance... I took the time to learn the annoying ins and outs and really compared it against Acid Pro 5. I found it totally un-user friendly, frustrating and poorly designed. What I could accomplish with a few elegant clicks of my mouse within Acid took waaaay too long in Abelton. I noticed absolutely no difference in sound quality whatsoever... and besides the sound quality ultimately comes down to your computer's soundcard really. Acid 5 is a sophisticated, solid and professional loop-based sequencing environment that is totally unmatched by anything else out there.. its no "toy" or gimmick for rookies. Sure its not the "one-stop" solution to all your electronic music production needs (thats what Sonar 4 is for ! :) ) but Acid is a one-trick pony that does its one trick very well, EVERY time.

cheers guys.
