^^^I say the same of Reason, and it comes with a sound library, lol.
Not trying to say 1 is better, just remember checking the demo to live thinking the same thing as the OP. Just wondering, does the full ver. come with more sounds or did I miss their location in the demo? I'm all for the answer being user error, I gave up on the demo fairly quickly.
The lack of foundation sounds is one of the things that instantly drew me away from Live. Not always a bad thing, the bloatware(7dvds) of Logic threw me off more because of how cheesy the sounds were. Just funny how many people comment on the sound libraries of stuff like Reason and FL that IMO both come with a decent collection of stock instruments/sounds/effects.
I just didn't get live's angle. if it was meant for remixers and samplebased producers, it makes sense, and don't get me wrong, I can bring my own sounds to the table, but when demoing, I rely on what the program provides. I couldn't locate many good sounds in it.
