It's been a pleasure to work at Ableton and to be at Loop. Gerhard as a co-founder always had an open ear, and the company deeply cared about its employees. And Robert provided valuable guidance from an artistic perspective. I think the way Ableton works is responsible for a good part of Live's success: Treat people with respect, as something valuable and unique, and they will create an awesome product. There's a lot of attention to detail, a lot of dedication towards the artists that use Live every day. I mean, in the end, Live should not only enable very different people to create their own unique sound and music, but also work reliably, on stage, in real time, on a desktop OS. There isn't much talk about that, but DAWs are pretty complex, tightly coupled pieces of software, due to those requirements. There's a lot of unsung heroes. Anyway, I'm grateful for all the lovely people I met at Ableton, for what I learnt, on a technical and social level, and the trust that was put into me, by giving me quite a free hand over a few subsystems of the software. |
