Looks Great (what Live 9 should be) !
I think they are heading in the right direction with their new DAW.
Ableton is in big trouble. I can see Bigwig-Studio getting a big market share of the DAW market in the near future.
Cubase 7 should improve it’s ‘Arranger Track’ concept. To offer more of a Pattern-Arranging concept. This is where modern DAWs need to be heading, the linear (tape-style) DAW concept, imho. needs to evolve to something more exciting. I also think Presonus Studio One V2 has missed out on this. They are still stuck in the linear DAW world.
