Crazy underwhelming update, imho.

They're just playing catch up with the basic functionality of other DAWs and didn't even manage to add comping. On the plus side, there are some effects you are unlikely to really need and a knockoff version of Serum, which most people own anyway.

Other DAWs introduce features like this as incremental, between-version updates, and for free. It's mostly usability and 'quality of life' stuff which is nice but shouldn't be withheld for major version releases.

What the hell have they been doing for the past 4+ years? My bet is that they've devoted entirely too much time to developing Push (with Push 3 surely coming soon) and in the process have forgotten that if they don't properly develop their software offering, no one will use their awkward, prohibitively expensive hardware anyway. FL Studio is being developed like weed in a growhouse (with free lifetime updates) and Logic offers pretty much the entire feature set of Live at a quarter of the price.

Even the UI looks exactly the fucking same. What the fuck
