[PD] max for live

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Part of the problem is that the Ardour community is not as big as the  
Live community, so there aren't lots of people to ask questions or  
examples to see.  Lluis Carbonell taught the basics of this kind of  
Ardour set up in a workshop in Gijon, Spain and I was really  
impressed.  I had also just downloaded Ardour and poked around and  
never really knew what do with it.  Seeing Lluis get a room full of  
people getting this big Ardour set up going was a great demo.
