All user reviews for the Ableton Live 4

No problem to install, no reboot
Recognition in the (or) sound cards is easy when the manual is fine (not counting the online help in French super-friendly)

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

With an Athlon 2000, MSI motherboard and K7nG 512M ° DDr software feels really good, you feel a thorough optimization of soft, currently no crash. I really like the look now and very fast. Use, register, apply effects and create a small project at a party without knowing the software, I know little soft as easy to access.

OVERALL OPINION

I just download the demo version and I wait a bit before buying it (in September). Its price / quality ratio seems especially good for use without the fuss and especially music. I will continue to test the whole month of August but for me it really is a bomb!
I think the management of Vsti and simple effects. To have tested and bought a lot of music software (Logic & Notator Atari, PC Logic, Music Studio, Cubase 5 ....), is the software that most m'inpressionne; I put 9 / 10 until a management Midi further (and great!)

Installation is simple and fast enough, it is the same for the config gnrale. The manual is in French and is well explained plutt. Help "online" is also useful trs.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Live works without a hardware problem although unsuited to live and deprecated.

OVERALL OPINION

I use 4 Live from the day of its official release and I was using before 3 Live. It is simple and effective.
I use it to make the live electro / techno, I have not found any comparable software for this use, it is almost perfect.
His only default are, APRS me, its price and the impossibility of assigning certain functions to the keyboard or a Controller noon, such as the pitch of the loops, but I seek the any default.
It is the only software I use and I live in the board so all of those who live in any style.

Live 4 ever.

Problem-free installation, clear manual, configuration fingerz in ze noze: Ableton since I know (that is since Live2) I never had any microsecond decision-head with a.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Dell Inspiron 9100. Free operation history.

My only problem with the VSTi are: at times, they are crashing Live quite frequently (especially VStation).

Apart from this case, no complaints.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since its release (in July). The arrival of the Midi and VST changed my life, I often spend weeks without returning entires in Sonar, Storm, Reason and others ...

With only small internal modules (Simpler and Impulse) can be many things. It becomes really easy to set up an ide in minutes. With version 4, Live has become as easy as Groovebox! I started taking the mc909 dusts.

Once the sets structure is simple as the CONTRL in real time on scne (it is all the same for only Designed Live). With a Midi Controller is the Rolls, but even with the keyboard of the laptop dj can do many things. Configure CONTRL is a real breeze.

My main criticism is that when launching Live, there is no way to disable the engine rewire. Just another dj or Rewire with soft cast on the machine to Get You Started Live as a slave without asking anyone.

Also, the noon is trs basic edition ... If the version we gave him a 5 amlior editor would be really good news.

I find the price reasonable for the quality trs sound and advance REPRESENTATIVES that this app.

Slip / stick on MacOSX no problem.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I tried the demo on an i-book G3 900 640 MB and runs wonderfully. a friend bought it and uses the same computer as me, enchantment concerts without ever encountering problem. you just have mfier plug-ins strangles.

OVERALL OPINION

This software is trs enjoyable use of dot and finally what he lacked: a squenceur MIDI, of course it is basic but sufficient. IDAL is the software when working with the hardware home and we do not want a laptop and an interface CONTRL in the backpack to go live. BMOL a right even on transparency, sound quality is improved and has not changed since version 2, continued ...

Installation could not be more simple on OS X.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

The software works just fine, on a 1GHz PowerBook G4.
But Certainties stereo plug ins (like GRM tools) are poorly supported. Mono no worries, but hey it's still annoying. Same for me to have to warp (SLIC) sound to be able to play in a loop is really problematic. Other than that, since the 4 is really the perfect software. With a routing track to track completely open, it's really the foot, even in multicast.

OVERALL OPINION

In assembly, it's still below Digital Performer and Pro Tools. For live theater and other governance is not possible, finding the best. Highly version 5 with a loop mode without warp.

No bp for the install, everything works nickel

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

No crash since I use it, and I begin to really handle it and stuff him full-slack .. not move it nickel also what ...

OVERALL OPINION

Overall opinion? The software for the stage) with my little korg microKONTROL and Live it becomes one! that's what I dreamed, tt I needed to live and the scene is in Live (4 only, noon forces) and with my korg bah All I do (but really all) what I want and very quickly!! a big killer!

No problem for installation. low fuel consumption, no incompatibility config simple, manual + tutorial niquel directly accesible in the soft itself.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

It runs a Formula 1 kom. low latency (a hand with my controller I find a little soft when it comes to rgl volume of a track) but the control plug ins arpond like clockwork. it gives me the best squenceur the world, and is not for scne photo: 4 Live! samplers native live: Impulse and Simpler its too too deadly.

OVERALL OPINION

+: Native pork sampler, midi and audio routing, change the tempo in each clip, Intgr tutorial, simple, stable, low fuel consumption.
- ...

Perfect all questions

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Athlon XP 2400 + 256MB RAM (only) + 60 GB + Gamesurround Muse 5.1 DVD.
Runs perfectly.
Ultimate stability and low fuel consumption program (turning 10 Plug-ins simultaneously, not as high as 25% CPU!)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it to demo a few months ...
I especially like the intuitive interface and the fact that this software is very comprehensive.
I do not use it for MIDI but to make arrangements of samples recorded with a microphone and a minidisc.
At the moment I do not Sufis use to buy a full version but hey it seems to me a very good product with very good demo (unlike cubase, there are only recording, rendering to disk and mixdown that are deleted
In terms of choice, without hesitation!

It is still the apps that install wrong?

Manual useless.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Vaio athlon 1600 with more, no equipment dedicated his. Works very well, bar CPU barely begun. No crash. Recognizes all his balance than XP as plug and play.

OVERALL OPINION

6 months of use. I use it primarily for running and vary little drones generated by Reason or Fruity Loops. But having attacked his BAR noon to see what it gave, I would have probably sunk if I did not do all this with my ES1. Full of missed opportunities, so.

Sequencer live alone as I know, truly incomparable. Ecore once, I do not use it to dial, only to go live on the non-rhythm of my pieces. And for that, even if I under-utilized, it is simply by-doing. The price then goes without worry, for I will not go against the next version, I "simply" very good about that.

Edit other after 6 months of use:

I only use the config "vertical" dedicated to live. I then attacked the config type sequencer, or config "horizontal", and it is simply excellent. The automation is ultra simple, all effects and plug-ins to meet magnifiquemen, and we are constantly tempted to go further, we play live to test configs then you have 5 minutes to implement any of the sequencer, the auxiliaries are great, the effects emnbarqués do not eat up RAM and some are essential when trying (redux, resonators ...).

In short, he called beautiful Live is also a great sequencer, I finished with all my arrangements.

The installation took place without any problems, no imcompatibilité, configuration fastoche Manual in English, but software and tutorial support in French and in French too téléchargeagle the Ableton site.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

G4 450Mhz 512MB 60GB

My poor old computer FUME with this software (it's quite normal!) But it is running, saying there is still something to have fun and be clever enough about this program (that's what's giant!) to prevent the CPU limits come galloping ...
And to be honest it's more that I have Live 5 and it is a little more CPU intensive than its big brother 4.
And if I speak here of the five present while I am in the opinion of page 4 is that it has no place to leave an opinion on the 5, then I'm come to let one of the four ,
Comprendo you there?

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a good year, and I can see all the logic that you instilled with other sequencers have always!
The software giant is impressive for its accessibility and its ease to execute the most twisted ideas, that would take hours to achieve with most of its competitors (see all I think) ... It can sometimes feel against by a little cramped with different windows (adjustable height) in its main window.
But it is completely calibrated to return a BreakBeat as clay in two seconds, and eventually make it sound any rhythm or not, we would not even be imagined ...
Nan but I swear that once we have understood how it works this thing (bomb) makes you crazy, to intimidate you! and it's coming soon, everything is so logical and obvious at the beginning it is difficult to make a simple manip'hyper and that ended up really ashamed to be so stupid! guaranteed effect.
So next working sample, Ge-NIALissime, for editing noon, they still have some work but there's really clear progress and in any case, it is not worse than REASON ... For me it is a revolution that moves and gives a new aspect to the creation of electronic music and acoustics (to merge the two, it is de-i-al). But beware! I think he has a particular grain and clean for him, which means that one is able to recognize when we know it well, especially using its own plugins. In sum is more than a sequencer is a real musical instrument (to think that I work for them say so!). 100% GREAT & DEADLY!
