Re: The Ableton Q&A Thread

yeah you're better off with a powered hub. I was wondering.... is they're any way to have a non powered USB hub that is powerful enough to run a couple of controllers?

Re: The Ableton Q&A Thread

I didn;t think it was. i dont think so, why would you want to though. I think it would be really cool if you could have two instances...

Re: Boardwalk Empire

woah...not one duff episode...

i get your points about the way they portay the character and its about the journey etc... but if you don't think the characters are any good to begin with and that the journey is mostly self-indulgent bollox, well then you see where i'm coming from.

Re: Boardwalk Empire

yeah i totally get the use of the psychiatrist and symbolism of it all, the thing is what is the point when a character opens up so much yet there's nothing there. if the conclusion of the post-freud america sopranos is looking at is WYSIWYG then fair enough. also i'm not saying sopranos isn't bette...

lol i think the characters in sopranos are paper thin tbh, no depth at all. tony is just a dick, there's nothing more to him than the occasional pretence of not being a dick, also massive LOLZ@it going over my head.

Re: The Ableton Q&A Thread

rando you really need to break out the manual, you'll get all your answers and more in less time than it takes for someone to reply here.

maybe you've got bad experiences with badly written manuals? the ableton manual is really well written and entertaining for an instruction manual.
