So for compositions live with the tower I have no problem, my setup is more than enough, so no freeze or lock processor, then nothing, knowing that I use apc 40 and 49 mpk and a map its outer!
To live in concert I also connects all these components in my pc, the good config are not high enough, so I'm forced to freeze the tracks that I live in does not change, and I can easily go up to 43 % cpu usage which is beginning to be too much for a laptop, so I think change soon, because it's a bit annoying to have to freeze tracks each time, and was always afraid that the cpu overheating and the computer turns off! But are not the fault of the software, you just know that a good pc configuration is recommended!
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 3 years, I try Fruity Loops, Cubase, but not nothing doing there Ableton it is my favorite, with its session-I really like!
There is nothing I hate all is, we need every tool, the integrated live sound effects really perfect, then he must of course add virtual instrument, because they live are not really good, they are interesting, but we quickly made the rounds after this severe must cling if you want to use their instrument without basic preset!
Then the value for money is, yes it is a very expensive software, but I think that there is a lot of work behind, and I understand that high price! I redo exactly the same choice!See less00 - JoeW1Published on 03/23/13 at 06:01Sonic Academy's Ableton 8 Suite is compatible with different working platforms like Windows Xp , Vista , 7 and MAC.

OVERALL OPINION
What I like most about Ableton is the great interface , the session and arrangement view , the vst compatibility and complex automation lines.
Another thing to mention is the advanced warping and live stretching , the full vst support , the build-in effects and sounds are also top notch.
I also like the Operator that comes with Suite , that powerful synth machine can emulate every known sound to man.
Something that's quite unique in Ableton , is the freeze feature , that way you can create audio from midi data very fast which would help with your cpu resources.
My opinion about the value for the price is good , this DAW is one of the leader in the music industry , you can buy it for 500 $.
Precision and quality of the sound is 10/10 , some producers say that the Ableton's EQ erase some quality from the frequency range , in my experience , that's not the case.
I've tried several DAW , Ableton got a special place in my heart as being the most useful and pleasant one.
Knowing what I know, I would buy Ableton again.See less00 - AzumaPublished on 02/24/13 at 11:49There weren't any kind of compatibility issues , the program works on any platform like Windows XP, Windows Seven or a MAC OS.

OVERALL OPINION
What I like most about it beside the pro design and that powerful white design , the instruments provided with the program are great , the sampler , the simpler and of course the Operator , which is a very powerful machine where you can emulate a whole specter of sounds starting from bass to drums.
I also do enjoy the way the program works , in two separate ways , either session view or arrangement view , both of them has their own purpose and use.
Another great thing about Ableton are the multi effects racks , which are very handy and high quality.
My opinion about the value of the price is great , this product included a lot of features and plugins , it has vst support , it's worth the money without a doubt.
Precision and quality of the sound is pretty perfect , the only times where Ableton lacks perfection is when it cracks , which isn't very often but still , beside that , quality and precision is 10/10.
I've tried several Daw's , Ableton has its own ways and features which makes one of the most used Daw's out there.
Knowing what I know , I would get Ableton Suite that comes to the music world with a wide variety of plugins , features and effects.See less00 - sw80

They update the drivers often and make sure they do what they can to keep this software running perfectly for all users on any computer Mac or PC.
OVERALL OPINION
The sound you get out of Ableton 8.2 is fully up to you. If you are using it for studio purposes then you will love the sequencer and how easy it is to work with other plug ins and software from other providers via rewire. Abelton 8.2 runs great as a host or in another DAW. There are so many uses for it, and if you are new to using it you will have everything you need to get your ideas out fast.
Most of the plug ins and sounds that come with it are not very good though. You will still need to invest some money into some good quality VST plug ins and some good drum packs. All of the sounds that come with Ableton 8.2 are very basic most like they are in any other programs stock sounds. I am happy that I have upgraded Ableton to 8.2 and will continue to upgrade when they come out with newer versions. This version is not the beta version, it is on the test version either.

Published on 10/30/12 at 22:33Ableton Suite 8 is a powerful DAW suite that will take your workflow to the next level. They have made some major upgrades from previous versions of Ableton and they have also upgraded the price! I don’t know why they took the price up so high but it is now 800 dollars for this program.

OVERALL OPINION
Ableton 8 does come with some newer effects than I expected. The Vocoder that comes with it is very good, it is almost as good as going out and purchasing an expensive Vocoder from Evo or Antares.
Ableton 8 can be used on your PC or your Mac computer, it is very versatile. Even if you start a project on a PC you can save the project file and open that same file up on a Mac quickly. You will need to have a newer system though to run Ableton 8. If you are using an XP operating system you could have some issues and it could be really slow when loading plug ins and effects. I would not want to use Ableton 8 on anything under Windows Vista. Also make sure you have at least 2 GB of RAM or it will run really slow no matter what operating system your PC has.

However, once hurdled this software is a piece of cake and provides the user with endless options customizing their digital expression of music. Along the way Live 8 makes it even easier by providing detailed explanations in the bottom left hand of the screen of any button, knob, setting, or library when the mouse is dragged over it.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
Ableton provides the user with endless options for performing live. Personally I trigger clips and samples in the session view using a Novation Launchpad, but always have my sequenced songs ready in the sequencing view in case I make a mistake. Very flexible and capable, Ableton is what you make it in a live performance. The opportunities are available, it is up to the performer to harness them.
OVERALL OPINION
Overall Ableton Live 8 Suite is the top of the line, all things included package that Ableton offers as a Digital Audio Workstation. Able to handle an enormous library of VSTs and instruments it allows versatility to the producer and DJ both and provides an easy to use environment for those new to the art and those more experienced. Although the live set up requires more fine tuning and exposure to the software it is the DAW that I recommend the most and rate the highest.See less00 - johnrae

Also, Live takes a completely unique approach to composition, even allowing it to be "played" like an instrument and performed with live - hence the name, Ableton Live.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
The software is easy as pie to install, open it up, complete the registration and it installs itself. What impressed me most is the fact that this software works perfectly and fast on my 2007 Mac Mini with only 512 mb of RAM. It is the best DAW I have used, and works very well on older systems. I can barely have a text editor and browser open on this computer at the same time without it freezing, but miraculously, Live runs like a charm.
OVERALL OPINION
Live is simply an amazing addition to the field of electronic music. It is a whole studio in a program. You can DJ, create, arrange, it supports video, play live, whatever you can possibly imagine. It is of the highest quality. It's not the prettiest but it makes up for that with it's incredible functionality. It's kind of difficult to start out with, as there is a bit of a steep learning curve. It is a bit of a departure form most linear DAWs as it allows for non linear composition. In my opinion, Live is the DAW of the future, and everyone aspiring into electronic music should at least give it a try.See less00 - skunk22

OVERALL OPINION

A few days but I used the v7 for over a year.
- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
the most:
----------
* The speed with which we can call once you have the software in hand.
* The amount of instruments available and their quality (apparently much better than in v7). The Essential Instrument Collection pack, expander general is always nice to have. Operator is much better than its previous version, and new instruments and effects are well made.
If you have little or no quality VST (like Native instruments) is a complete package that enables you to smith with very strong foundations.
* Absolutely everything can be controlled in real time, so very .... directs live
the least
---------
* Relatively long to master when you come from a sequencer like cubase or sonar
* The MIDI editor below the concurrency
* Some functions, basic in my opinion, missing (not possible to easily implement a group of MIDI tracks and even a song once)
- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

- How do you report qualitprix?
It depends. It is quite expensive but it is easy to get a discount consequently. Many sound cards and MIDI interfaces with Ableton Live Lite. But the upgrade is much cheaper than buying. In addition the box is the same (not even need to have live lite installs!. Second, given the number of instruments available, if you were - legally you get the equivalent in this VST you will be much more expensive for equivalent quality.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
Ableton can do a lot of things. I use it in live situations for triggering loops and minor synth use. I use the novation launchpad along with an axiom keyboard. Basically, I use the sets in ableton as songs and use the launchpad to trigger them. I also have a couple of live synths running which I use the axiom to play.
Performance is bulletproof. Ableton is the most stable program I've ever used. It simply won't crash. And believe me, I've tried. It plays well with everything. Even VST's. I've used it for a few years now. The introduction of the launchpad made things a lot easier for me because I was simply using a mouse before, which takes too long.
OVERALL OPINION
The forte of this program is that it's lightweight, flexible, fast, and effective. It's not trying to be a fancy recording suite, although if you so desire it can do a surprising amount in that regard. In a live situation it has no equal. For looping and lightweight synth/beats it's really a no brainer. It's probably best meant to be used by bands or musicians who are producers second and stage guys first. While I consider myself both, I like the fact that I can teach someone to use ableton in a few hours, which I've done many times. It's also just a good value in general. I recommend getting the suite. The extras are worth it.See less10 - Cinematic GardenPublished on 04/27/10 at 12:45 (This content has been automatically translated from French)The installation is done it without problems?

So far yes, but normal for a software dedicated to live.
What performance?
The gel is needed when producing a song with many tracks.
OVERALL OPINION
For how long have you been using it?
5 months
Did you try many other models before getting this one?
Mainstage, but there is much more powerful.
Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
Yes, as Live has many features to create music "on the fly." Little EQ and compressors, but it is not her goal of being a dedicated DAW musical overproduction. The need to rewire to another sequencer will work.
Plus: The logic of the software very oriented electronic music, it goes quickly through the structure of song "Scenes".
Assigning midi is a pleasure, and we just spend many hours tweaking sounds.
Fewest: Can be a bit limited for large prod, to couple with another sequencer.
What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Very good if we take into account the huge amount of samples in the Live8 Suite.
