Now no one ever said Max for Live was going to be cheap but If your a max/msp owner your going to have to fork out a fair amount of cash to use this. If your lucky enough to have Max/msp and Ableton Live then it’s not too bad.
Remember that Max for Live needs Ableton Live 8 to work so your going to have to upgrade which will cost more money.
Well Max for Live is certainly enjoying lots of internet hype so lets hope that it lives up to it’s name.

Max for Live is basically a way for Ableton Live users to incorporate Max/msp patches into Live as plugins and effects. This really opens up Live’s flexibility as no other DAW or performing software allows Max/msp patches to be used. The other big news is that it will allow the APC40 to become fully customizable which is exciting and opens up a whole new world of what the APC40 can do.
