Ableton Live

Perfect if you produce EDM, but if you're a songwriter, it's unusable. Logic is ten times better at half the price. I'd rather turn down work on film scores if I had to use this DAW.

Ableton 10 public beta is released. Although Ableton 9 is one of the best DAW ever made to unleash your creativity. Ableton 10 doesn't really add that much new. It has some improvements and nice new delay plugins but that's it. No new innovative features or better mastering abilities and no better arrangement editor. IMO it is a mist change to put it in next gear. Now it just cruises at same speed. But I will upgrade for sure. It's is still the best DAW for my needs.

Ableton is so impressive. Switched from a PC recently and could no longer use FL Studio, which turned out to be such a beautiful change in my life. Outstanding!

Brilliant DAW that surpasses any other by offering huge creativity features. It is so versatile and easy to grab, only you are the limitation of doing great things with it. By far the best DAW with by far the best music making community !

Absolutely the best and most creative DAW every made. The work flow enables and invites every musician to be creative with high standard quality. All offered plugins are insanely useful and give great control of what you want to achieve. One thing I think is 'troublesome ' is mastering with Live. I still think Logic ProX has the upper hand for doing this. Still, Ableton Live is a must have tool for modern musicians. Essential for sure ! Note worthy: it works great with UAD-2 plugins. With the thunderbolt version it has about zero latency which is truly amazing. Something you cannot say about Reaper or Cubase. Both have problems with latency with UAD hardware.

Although i have a MacUpdate paid account the MacUpdate install it NOW is not working for me. And i do have Ableton Live version 9.1.6 installed but just wanted to test the services of MacUpdate with no luck. OH, by the way still give Ableton Live a 5 star rating although it is not my favorite DAW in my tool box o f DAW's i own/use.

Baby you'll get 5 stars again when you finally display Retina graphics ! Now go get dressed !

Ableton Live + Ableton Push = AWESOMENESS Thank you for making such great products.

Ableton Live and Push .. the perfect combination for making creative music. Top notch

Small update, big DAW.

The new version is surprisingly compatible both with plugs and OS X versions with Intel 10.5 as the oldest. I run Ableton Live Suite 9 on 10.6.8 and the new version 9 features fit very well into what you already know about Live from version 8. So far I haven't found major issues though third party plug-ins may need updating. I use VST-plugs only at the moment: I find speed to be acceptable, but haven't measured anything yet. Of all the new features the Audio to MIDI yields very interesting results. I'm loving it. I will post a more detailed report later.

The best DAW got even better. Awesome DAW

Ableton 9 is out.

Ableton is on 25% off sale until the 4th of March. Free upgrade to version 9 which is coming 5th of March! Go to Abletons site for purchases.

Finally paid for this brilliant DAW! Worth every penny. No other DAW/Sequencer comes even close. Its freedom and creativity.

I haven't really given this a rating before?! 5 Stars in minimum. One of the most creative music apps available. Actually this means it helps you to be creative and to concentrate on your production - not that the app itself tries to be creative, like many other tools. Just experiment, jam, record and you will simply love how it works. This is how creating music should be understood.

what can I say.. its practically my life line. The graphics are timeless.

RElease notes: http://www.ableton.com/releasenotes-lesson

This DAW is by far the best you can get your hands on. Admitting the GUI could be more bling-bling alike like Cubase or Logic but it works very intuitive nevertheless. Making arrangements is one of its strengths. Never seen before in another DAW. If you make music this is what you need. Period
