Sonic Academy's Ableton 9 is compatible with different working platforms like Windows Xp , Vista , 7 and of course MAC.
The manual that is incorporated with the software is well detailed covering a lot of musical ground.
The general setup of the program is extremely straight forward , it's easy and fast to get it done.
Basically , this DAW provides a lot of complexity , the typical functions have of lot of insides and outsides , so once you get to know the program better , you understand the principles.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
This version of Ableton works beyond decent , however I have found some bugs which I suppose will be fixed as soon as possible , apart from that , the software works very good , the gear is stable , rarely you get some bugs while working on your musical projects.
I'm getting decent results while using this program.
I've been using this version of Ableton for about 1 month.
OVERALL OPINION
What I like most about Ableton , especially this version , are the endless possibilities with audio to midi data , which can be extracted as a harmony or a melody.
Another powerful tool that Ableton now has , are the automation curves which were pretty static in the past , now you can curve them at any angle.
What I also like , is the browser that comes extremely handy with an instant search and fast preview of the sounds.
The Library included sounds very good and has a lot of orchestral elements in it.
Of course I must mention Ableton's new toys , like the convulsion reverb , the glue compressor and other cool tools and effects.
This program full pack included costs 599 euro , which is great , getting such a powerful audio editing tool for just 600 euro is a blessing.
Precision and quality of the sound is better than on previous versions , the library sounds are more realistic and the freq range response is better.
Knowing what I know , I would buy this program as soon as possible.
