Ableton Forum

Okay so from talking to other users, I've found that the biggest difference between the dl and boxed version of suite is that with the boxed version you get both instruments and samples. However, with the dl version, you only get instruments. Is there anything else I should really be aware about bef...

haha, i'll try if you want more instruments= ableton suite if you want more samples and no instruments= live with box if you want more instruments and samples= suite with box if you don't need either instruments or samples= live As i said i'm not familiar with Reason so I can't help you there.. alt...

kanuck wrote:well the only advice I can give would be definitely expand to live. I'm not familiar with Reason so I don't know what it's potential is. Again suite will give you instruments and the box will give you samples. choose to your liking.

Can you clarify this a bit?
Thanks

I have the Akai version of Lite, and Reason.

I'm learning on lite but look to upgrade to either Live or Suite. I've researched that suite has a bigger sound bank and a few other instruments to use, I'm just wondering if it's the way to go, and whether I should go boxed or download. Also, does it really matter how familiar I become with lite, o...

Okay cool. I'll see about that when I get on it. Have any workflow tips?

Okay so you can build a custom kit using impulse? Forgive my asking of questions that nay be obvious. Day 2 of learning ableton.

So with inpulse I'll be able to build a kit? That's what I'm gathering from your response. Also, with impulse will I be able to edit the sounds theoretically creating new ones? Or is this something that again can only be done in the full edition.

Yeah I did that. Doesn't allow it.

Can I even create a drum rack in lite?

I see. And if I read correctly, you can only edit those sounds when you have the full version of live correct? I'm just got lite yesterday learning my way around it before I upgrade to suite.

Okay, I'd like to take certain sounds from different drums sets and build those sounds into one unique drum set. I'm reading over the manual now but I'm learning some of the terminology at the same time so it becomes a bit confusing.

I'm trying to figure out how to build drums with 8 specific sounds I want. The only thing I've done make separate clips for each (i.e. bass, hats, etc). Is there a way to build a rack (one drum set) to create beats as a clip rather than individual instruments or do I have to go with the stock racks?...

Great insight! My goal is to produce and create music. I have an APC 40, and have used Reason for a little over a year, but the only other equipment I plan on buying for now is an audio interface. I read somewhere that when performing live, you can "pre-listen" in your headphones prior to ...

I'm wondering how long it will take to get good with the program. I know learning curve has a lot to do with it, but let's say with a good amount of knowledge of computer, music theory, and working with the program daily. What kind of time frame do you think?
