I agree...in other words, i think you have to use 'live' in order to assess
its worth at what it does. Is it just me or does it seem that many people
who seem critical of 'live' on this thread have had but limited experience
with the product?

I find that live is unique and indeed much more like an actual 'instrument'
than other DAWs I've used... My 2cents.

....and I'm curious: someone mentioned using soundhack as a live performance
tool...how can something that processes files offline be used effectively in
a live situation ? Love this program, though.

At any rate, I would be careful to distinguish the functionality of a piece
of software from the politics of free/shareware vs. commercially-sold
products...i can certainly see how someone who has spent hours tweaking
something to get a sound in PD might get a little  more defensive about what
they use than someone running a krak of fruity loops or whatever...

Anyway...gonna go mash my mpc. Booyakasha.
