    There are absolutely zero details of this plan on either site...b,121b,121Should be cool, laptops are at the point where you can run both at the same time fairly well...b,121b,121I imagine this will be crazy with the 57 integration...I hope the faders can send automation data into Live.

    b,121b,121I think I agree with the assessment over at Create Digital Music:b,121b,121http://createdigitalmusic.com/2008/10/17...vinyl-for-live/b,121b,121It's probably just a plug in for Ableton that gives tracks vinyl control as opposed to completely integrating either Microwave into AL or AL into Microwave.
