- The installation is done it without problems?
- Have you experienced any incompatibilities?
- The general configuration is easy?
- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
The install was smooth, without any problems

No conflict

I have not looked at the manual I went to test himself as a big, with small lessons / tutorials in the software

This should also depend on the config, but on my PowerBook G4 Mac, 1.67 GHz, 1GB of RAM, it went well and it seems that the pc is ok too

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

- What is the configuration of your computer? (Motherboard / CPU / Ram / Disk / sound card ..)
- The software works he correctly on this configuration?
- What performance? (If quantifiable)
- This software + hardware is stable?

Same as above

I have the Core Audio's mac waiting to give me a sound card 4 / O 2 or even I / O I can not decide

The configuration is generally stable, I had some crashes not severe, the recovery of the file is always possible and is available when you restart Live.
I use a lot of vst (many freeware), and sometimes it happens that Live does not like some of the vst and plant automatically (maybe with synth soundfonts, but I have not tested like crazy I just saw that this kind of VST or AU was crashing the program).
Normally, Live analyzes new vst installed and said if it can work or not, however, there are those who walk at all and are visible under the Plugins menu, and others who plant the software outright.

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
- What is so special that you like most and least?
- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
- How would you rate the quality / price?
- With experience, you do again this choice? ...

I used to Live 5 lite version, purchased with a keyboard MAUDIO Keystation 61es and I did the upgrade to 6 lite (free) and I fell I upgraded to version 6 full, including effects in full (no more than 2 in total on the lite version) and VST (possible use of one or vst plugin with the lite version)
I use it in full for 3 months

Most
and the sampler impulse
The clips loop
the wrap does not convince me, but still can be effective in some cases
Many effects and quite pleasant (Dynamic Tube, Analog Warmth, reverb pretty ,...)
The -
I do not really see, except the few software crashes
I have not tried to change the position or the tempo of a song, it seemed to me easier on some other programs but hey, I did not try.
I worked with different hardware config (pc and mac) and software (Logic, Cakewalk, Cubase, Fruity Loops ...), so I used a lot of programs, and short, by combining my change from PC to Mac and software, I'm really happy, however, is also due to the improvement in terms of processor and ram too.
Good value for money, they have student rates of interest, offer upgrades and customer service that the respondent, I sent the email twice, after 3-5 days I had an answer to my request.

With my experience for nearly 15 years of computer music I would do exactly the same choice, I'm really happy, I expect vraaaaaiment push and use all the capabilities of the software, but already I am satisfied

so with that Abelton not offer me the upgrade for the 7 free, I do not know what to do ;-)
