(I could also safely put my drums in the playlist without wasting tracks). One way that Ableton Live software has an advantage over other DAWs is its extremely fluid GUI that allows you to do all your work within a single window. When I was making music with live intro I stuck to loops and very simple progressions, but once I upgraded to suite I gained the ability to form much more complex progression, arrangements, and sound sign possibilities. There are 3 versions of Live 9, this is the Standard version and includes all software features, 3 instruments, 37 effects, and over 1100 sounds (11GB). Depending on what style of music you are making this would change, but *generally* the more tracks you have, the better. (the next upgrades are paid though it only apply for the current version)Īlthough live intro has twice as many tracks as your could have in live lite, the upgrade would probably give you a taste of what more tracks feel like and you would want to upgrade to standard or suite. I bought my upgrade to suite a few months before live 11 was announced so I need to pay for the upgrade, but as I said before if you buy live within the next 3 days you will get the upgrade for free.

It's a lot more cost-effective to buy upgrades as new versions come out.

#Ableton live 9 lite upgrade for free
The upgrade cust between versions is generally around 200 bucks, but you get the upgrade for free if you buy live, or upgrade to standard or suite during the period of time at which the beta is out. you could also try applying for an educational discount if of course, you are eligible.Īlthough it is quite expensive, it's certainly worth the investment.Įdit: I realised I didn't quite answer your question. If you buy live now (within the next 3 days) then you will get a free upgrade to live 11, which releases on the 24th. I bought intro when live 10 was in its beta period which meant that I got an upgrade to live 10 lite for free. I used live 9 intro for about 2 years before I upgraded to suite.
