Ableton 8 Suite arrived!!!

The Ableton 8 Suite arrived at work yesterday!! Spent 4 hours installing the extra packages (the ALC files uploader really needs batch functionality), updating the sample files and the surprise 1.4 GB update! So once I'm finished with a few more tonight I will finally be able to stretch my legs in all its advance goodness.

Some of the first things I want to check out is

• whether my old songs will still load since there was a file format update that means that old Abletons cant open new Ableton files, just hope its not also the other way around, or whether it needs to be converted
• load a few songs and check out the DJ and VJ functionality, will need to wait until I can afford the Ohm64 to really give the DJ side a rinsing since my current Mixer doesnt accept MIDI connections like the Ohm64

Give me a few days and I will update on my progress and my opinions.
