you should always have a ligit copy of your fave sequencing software in my eyes. it's your workhorse and as such needs to be treated with the respect it deserves. plus you need it as stable as hell.

ableton is a fantastic piece of software and it's so cheap. if you're pro in this game, you really need to be thinking of making your main software legit i reckon, just out of thanks to the programmers that gave you a life in this game ;)
