"We’ve been working with Ableton for more than two years to bring Max
and Live together."

"Working on a complex task with another company separated by over 5000
miles and a nine-hour time difference has been an interesting
challenge. Time and distance were not the only issue, however. Even
though we respect each other’s software tremendously, the cultures of
Ableton and Cycling ’74 are, within the narrow confines of audio
software companies, pretty divergent."

"In addition to some of the Live-influenced changes we made to the UI
design, there were features we developed for Max 5 specifically to
address challenges of Live integration."

TL;DR: never underestimated the complexity of integrating an existing
project into a whole different codebase.
