Ableton is celebrating the start of its cooperation with the SoundCloud social sound platform, with a gift for its users.
All current Ableton Live 8 and Suite 8 users receive a free 5 month SoundCloud Pro account and can now upload to SoundCloud from within Live. Users who purchase or upgrade to Live 8 or Suite 8 before May 31, 2012 will also get 5 months of SoundCloud Pro for free. This premium account includes 36 hours of storage, unlimited downloads, advanced statistics and sharing options and is valued at EUR 145 / USD 190 for 5 months. All SoundCloud users receive a free license for Ableton Live Lite, the intuitive way to create, produce and perform music.
In addition, from May 14 through May 28, Ableton and SoundCloud will hold the Beat the Clock contest. M83, Junior Boys and Nosaj Thing will provide a Live Pack of samples and sounds to be used to create an original piece of music. The catch: participants must work against the clock and submit their entries within 24 hours after downloading the Live Pack. SoundCloud and Live users will vote for their favorites entries, with the top 25 then judged by the three artists who will pick the ultimate winner. Participants can win a trip to Berlin, lifetime upgrades to Ableton Suite, 5 years of a SoundCloud Pro Plus account and other valuable prizes.
