Most of you have probably heard about the Scene view in Ableton Live, which is always pointed out as the main difference compared to other DAWs but to tell you the truth, most producers don’t work much in the Scene view. All included tools, effects and instruments are high-quality enough so that you don’t need any third-party things to achieve professional results. So, if Ableton Live Suite is the first thing that you have ever bought, it could easily became also the last one, not to mention all those free packs that comes almost daily on Ableton blog site. After browsing through those packs, I’ve noticed that you actually get everything you need to start production. All in all you’ve got 54 GB of included material and 3000 sounds instead of 4 GB and 700 sounds in the standard version. Also the Suite version brings us some additional Live instruments that really make a difference – Operator and Sampler. Ableton packed all things that you will ever need in Suite, a whole symphonic orchestra that doesn’t sound cheap at all along with all sorts of live and dead drum packs, a zillion loops, various retro and contemporary instruments, and Max for Live with an impressive arsenal of tools along with two convolution reverbs. I got Ableton Live 9 Suite, which is a bit pricey, but when you sum up all the things that you get along with main software, you will soon figure out that it is very fairly priced. You can produce anything you want with it, the sky is the limit it just offers a different working approach and different tools and a very adorable, handy work flow that will bring fresh air into your production, where everything can be done more intuitively, without breaking your creative process. One thing is for sure, Ableton Live is not just a four-on-the-floor machine. At the end of the line, if you are listening to the UK Top 40, you will notice that those genres occupy more than 3/4 of the chart. Cubase, Logic and Pro Tools are the most advanced recording studios that money can buy, and they offer everything you need to start and finish your song on a highest possible level, but for all sorts of modern mixture of electro genres (Hip hop, IDM, Electro, Dance, Trance, Chill, Dubstep etc.) Ableton Live is unbeatable. If you want to write a whole song on a plane, from a sketch to the finished product – the professionally produced, up-to-date modern song – then Ableton Live is your tool.Ībleton Live is absolutely the most advanced tool for modern contemporary production. It can be done also with Ableton Live, but this is not the point of that software. If you intend to record a country band or a symphonic orchestra, then choose Cubase, Logic or Pro Tools. Different approaches and different tools will simply lead to the different results.Ībleton Live is a DAW for the 22nd century. During all those years of making music, I came to the conclusion that the work-flow has the biggest influence on the end result. After all that quality time, I figured out one thing – Ableton Live can’t be compared with any other DAWs that are on the market at the moment. After spending a month with Ableton Live, watching almost a zillion tutorials which I found on YouTube, I became a bit addicted and have already made a few songs. In most reviews I’ve read about Ableton Live I’ve noticed two main points: The first one is about the fact that Live is a bit different compared to other DAWs, and the second one is that all reviewers try to compare Live with some of the other main DAWs. I presume that some of you haven’t heard of the musician and producer performing under his real name “Trentemoller,” so we should do it in a bit more proper, profound way. This review could be done in just one sentence: “Trentemoller” uses Live as his main DAW, so if it is good for him, then it should also be good for us. See what’s behind our reviewer making such an assertion. Ableton Live can’t be compared with any other DAWs that are on the market at the moment.
