  • Ableton Live 8 Suite
    JoeW1's review

    Sonic Academy's Ableton 8 Suite is compatible with different working platforms like Windows Xp , Vista , 7 and MAC. The manual that is incorporated with the software is well detailed covering a lot of subjects regarding the working process. The general setup of the program is quite straight forward , it's easy and fast to manage it. The typical functions are well placed , you get a decent browser in the left upper corner that can give you some direction. SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE The software works very good , the program is stable , everything is well designed. I'm getting very good results while using Ableton , my composition level improved , my sound design improved , everything is great. I've been using Ableton Live 8 for about 2 years. 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.

  • Ableton Live 8
    « Good for creative mixing »

    There was no comparability issues on my Mac. It was a pretty simple put in the disc and install situation. If you've installed a program before you should have no trouble with this one. The general layout of the program is pretty easy to navigate as well. There was a little bit of a learning curve but that's usual for a new program. It took some messing around with the song block feature of the program to achieve results but once you get the hang of it it's simple. SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE Firstly, I'm running this on a Macbook Pro OSX 10.6.8 with 2.4Ghz processor and 2 GBs of ram. I've never had any issues mixing or tracking with the software. I've only recorded 8 tracks at a time but everything went smoothly. I've mixed with somewhere around 30 tracks without any crashes. I've used several plug ins and they all worked fine. No complaints from me in the performance category. OVERALL OPINION I really like Ableton for writing music on the computer. The song block, looping, and live mixing make it really easy to have a creative flow. As for tracking and mixing a live band, I prefer Pro Tools or Logic. I just think the tracking and mixing layouts are nicer and the programs themselves sound better. Ableton is super nice for electronic music and live performance. You can easily splice a song and add/subtract parts in real time. This makes DJing exciting and easy. It also makes it really easy to write while recording. You just start a loop and keep adding things until your ready to move on to another part. It was a pretty good deal for the price but if I didn't make electronic music I would hardly use this program at all. Most of the time I end up slaving reason to pro tools for recording and production.

  • Ableton Live 5
    FP User's review

    Excellent features, clip warping, sample editing, built in vst's and vsti's respectable. Everything that protoolslogic has just alot more musical. (quickneasy) Rewire is the bomb this program uses very little cpu so you can rewire multiple programs with no problems generally. Grouping tracks function would be good, maybe quicktime options for film would be sweet! Price paid 280 Aus excellent tutorials, great layout. I really like the simple no glitter gui, in my opinion the best interface out there! SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE Its got its own sound which I like, but its so subtle that it may be my imagination... once i had a problem with an asio driver but theyve fixed it. OVERALL OPINION Im running pro tools but i always seem to boot up ableton, for arranging and pre mixing its the bomb all the automation you could want the list goes on. I would generally master in protools but thats just for the realtime bounce options, and proven algorithims. If your writing music especially hip hop and electronic or playing live this is up there, make sure you get your hands on some good plugins...
