it was really kool to meet with the team and to check out their HQ

it’s a piece of electronic music history
and I’m pretty sure this is the first time for many of us
when we see the box of the Live 1.0

Ableton wishes happy holiday for you guys
here is what they has to say about all this

- Whether you’ve been naughty or nice, to show our gratitude for a rockin’ 2010, we are stuffing stockings with two free Live Packs. ‘Tis the season and a new Pack from Everett Bradley will have you and yours pop locking around the Christmas tree with a funk-filled take on Tschaikovsky’s Nutcracker. We are also happy to pass along a Live Pack gift from Wires.Under.Tension’s Christopher Tignor. Christopher has put together a set of string-based loops dashed with a little Bronx-flavored hip-hop. -

we say, be naughty and make good porn stuffz with these packs
