Ableton Forum

Max For Live is getting quite a major update too isn't it, to be more in line with Max 6. They actually don't seem to have talked much about that yet.

Somewhere on this forum there is a quote from an Ableton representative stating that if you go from Suite 8 to Live 9 you will still be able to use all the Suite 8 instruments etc. Here 'tis: Yes, this is true - if you upgrade from Suite 8 to Live 9 Standard, you'll retain all Instruments and other ...

price hike. Whatever you think of what happened you can't really call it a price hike. Maybe you should go for one and walk it off. Incidentally I don't see many Suite owners or others who were looking at paying the intended prices (if they wanted the upgrades) complaining that some people have got...

Four times as many pads as Maschine too.

It's laughable how there's so much effort by some on the forum to discourage holding Ableton accountable as if they are a god. Accountability would serve to benefit both the company and customers. It's a proven business principle. If you don't like the mountain, climb another one. Accountable? For ...

For some, it's "wait till we launch, then we'll give you a good deal, trust us." They said there would be an introductory offer when it launches. There most probably will be. This had nothing to do with these issues. For others, it was an instant price hike and a promise to privately take...

The 'ugly' part was to hike up the price without a grace period. So they made a mistake on top of a mistake. Well it's obviously deeply traumatised you, despite not actually affecting you in any way. As a long time Ableton live user I want them to thrive, not to get into trouble. So for the sake of...

I'd be very suprised if they didn't, really.

And if you are still seeing the boxed Suite 8 (w. upgrade) for $202, that's a crazy price.

*resists temptation*

The thing is kent, it wasn't "marketing", it was a mistake. If it was a deliberate strategy it would have been stupid and useless, but it obviously wasn't deliberate.

You should just buy a load of those now while you can.

I used to believe strongly in this company. I'm willing to give them another chance and change my signature if they fix the damage within a few days. The only damage is in your heads. Do you seriously think they would *deliberately* set some prices way too low (everyone knew they were too low) for ...

You should call them soon ex-loyal customers, Ableton could still fix the damage. I give them some days. Can you explain what it is you've lost due to a mistake being made here? Maybe they should just close the company to demonstrate how contrite they are. Yeah that's probably the best move for eve...
