So yeah, what… Ableton Live "cost too much", this is a lot of people getting a good enough salary in order to make a great music software that work.

You don't like Live? Fine, Renoise was started by a one-man great software dev (ex Ableton, btw) who took it from an already existing codebase and made it something awesome with a lot of efforts (two decades, two… fucking… decades),. I'm not against progress folks, I'm only respecting efforts made by amazing people I respect (and sometimes have met) who actually spent a lot of time of their life while the other wankers were just only caring about having their "ideas" pushed, without learning much.

Like, I can understand some people want to ask the little slaves to make their prototype real (i.e. you're a musician who need to try something, eventually I get it) but at least don't go and try to take a piece of the cake from the real adults doing real things.
