Not ruined my life, just got another perspective as a long-term customer about how Ableton deals with us.

Thanks.
I've asked the same thing in another thread as well.... Only reason I would get suite is AFL which I think is the most interesting feature in Live, 8 or 9.

Re: price change? live9

See viewtopic.php?f=1&t=185933&start=540 and read about it all and how Ableton (in my opinion) mismanaged the situation.

Re: Live 9 Pricing

Yes sorry about all this but I think that when mistakes happen, that's where you see the good companies bubble up from the non-good ones based on how they handle mistakes in relation to their customers.

Re: Live 9 Pricing

Yes no definite response from Ableton. My wife said, why are you still doing this, just give up on Ableton. I will get the Sugar Bytes complete set now and work with Logic. Maybe upgrade to Live 9 next summer if that product still available as I want to keep old projects around. I really don't expec...

Re: Live 9 Pricing

Can you believe Apple doesn't give discounted upgrade prices to people who bought last year's MacBook Pro even though they have been buying Macs for 10 years?!?! All they added was a stupid Retina display - hello, newsflash, I can still see fine with my current screen!!! I am never buying an Apple ...

Re: Live 9 - changes to Max for Live

. So it stands to reason that If someone already owns a M4L license that the same policy would apply. thing is ... the new m4l will probably use Max6.. they might be asking for and upgrade price for m4l..as it is continued to be sold independently... I hope that they sell M4L separately at Live 7 t...

Re: Trying to use Live 8

So I am trying to use Ableton Live 8, but I am having some problems. I don't seem to have as many sounds and instruments as I'd like. Does Ableton Live 8 come with all the instruments i'm gonna need or do I really need to buy/download a bunch of different instruments, loops and samples? Live 8 stan...

Re: Live 9 Pricing

Ableton are fully aware of what a whiny bunch of users they have, which is exactly why the pricing structure is always so complicated. Whatever they do, some one will always have got a better discount. So why can't they then just have one package like most of the industry seems to navigate towards ...

Re: Live 9 Pricing

I would have accepted the price mistake/hike if the response would have been something positive and customer-friendly. i don't believe you, not for one picosecond. That's fine. Meanwhile people complain. If I would be head of Ableton support I would put a stop on that, as soon as possible. Like las...

Re: Live's new audio to midi feature.

Photography is an excellent example where the art form is very much no longer a personal art, no personal touch unless you are a *really* good photographer that actually bypasses all the auto setting and spend time composing. Anyway, I applaud if someone gets help from tools writing melodies and the...

Re: Live 9 - changes to Max for Live

As to what you're saying about them "supporting the M4L module" or whatever, I think you don't understand how M4L works. Max For Live is really just a piece of code inside of Live that lets Max patches run inside of it. If it works now inside Live 8 then it's always going to work. The par...

Re: Live 9 Pricing

Yes, sorry about all the negativity but I'm used to deal with SW companies where you send an email asking for clarification and the response is positive and helping and going half-way towards the long-term customer. Not a cut-paste answer many days later with no resolution. I would have accepted the...

Maybe it's time for us humans to play again instead of having all kinds of cheat tools to do things.
