(More customer reviews)You don't need stickers for Ableton Live, due to key-mapping!
I dove into computer audio/video recently, buying Ableton Live, Pro Tools, and Sony Vegas. I bought keyboard stickers for all three because I wanted to limit the learning curve and just get going as fast as possible.
I use the Sony Vegas stickers, but NOT THE ABLETON stickers! The reason is, Ableton Live has a key mapping function that is very intuitive to use. It allows you to assign a keyboard button to any on-screen (clickable) function within about 3 seconds: no menus, no data-chart, etc. The letters appear on-screen during mapping mode.
Ableton is a very well designed piece of software. It makes the 'immovable' shortcut keys of other software seem very 20th century. Isn't it ridiculous that as a video or software editor or musician, that you have to "relearn" how to do an edit, even if you've done it for years? (like me)
What would be useful is if someone made stickers that corresponded to the icons within the program, so you could make your own assignments on the keyboard.
I don't know why this item is cross-posted in "Office supplies", "Everything Else", and "Books" as of Wed January 26, 2011. That is why I am cross-posting my review, to save people from buying a basically unnecessary product.
Of the stickers I recevied, a GOOD MANY of them don't seem to work as defined. I think they are probably out of date. This was true of my Sony Vegas stickers as well.
