Ableton Forum

If you haven't checked out this site yet, go to http://www.modulargrid.net

It's a great site to build up sample systems and see how things would look once put together.

Here's my system (minus a couple of things that won't fit in there currently...)

Haha! Don't worry about the cost. That wasn't all at once. I highly advise you to start small and simple. The great thing about modules is that you can always swap out stuff as you grow and the used market really holds its value. Generally it's accepted that used modules sell for around 80% retail. ...

I'm thinking of getting into it. I know there are a few 'halp I'm a modular n00b' threads on here, I'm more looking for your broad stroke opinions like: 1. How much do you use your system? 2. Do you think the high cost relative to software/non modular synths is worth it? Why? 3. How has it changed ...

I've contempletated ordering the boxed upgrade, but none of them say it has the free upgrade to v9. Does it have to say it like the non-upgrade versions at the stores, or is it an Ableton grace period policy? I've been a little unclear about this so I haven't pulled the trigger yet. Anyone know? On...

Re: reaper

I have no idea. I just installed it and started it up. Within a couple of clicks it just crashed. Never even made a sound with it!

Welp. I just discovered that Musician's Friend has the BOXED Live 8 Suite upgrade for $309 and there's currently a $30 off of any purchase over $199. SO you can get the boxed Suite 8 update (and free upgrade to 9 suite) for only $279, less that Abes are currently offering. It's not $197, but I'm not...

It's $299 for suite until January. Then it's $399. I see no reason to upgrade from standard 8 to 9. Who knows which of the live 9 new features will never appear just like live 8.

Didn't say it's better. But they're new (as ableton once was) and probably eager to get new users. All I know is, I want to get off the upgrade cycle of paying basically for a new program each time. Well, for whatever reason, you must feel fairly confident it will be better, otherwise why would you...

I'm all for constructive criticism, but the bitchfest around here never ends. News of Live 9's release only seems to have intensified it. lol. I'll wait to see if Bitwig offers some kind of crossgrade, if not I'll sell Live and move on to Bitwig anyway. Hope those guys know what an opportunity they...

Hi there, Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. We're a bit behind due to the high amount of emails we’ve received since the Live 9 announcement, but we’re doing our best to respond to everyone as quickly as we can. The pricing change that you saw was due to an error in our system on the anno...

Thank you ableton for giving me a grace period to buy suite upgrade at the erroneously cheap price I realized that I had no entitlement to this and think its great that you gave me this gift and now have a warm fuzzy feeling whilst waiting for suite 8 to download, greatest respect! Wait what!? I ju...

Email I received from support: We are sorry for the confusion about the upgrade prices. This was an error in our system on the announcement day. We're truly sorry for confusing people, but the prices out now are the correct ones. The people who purchased the upgrade for this price, or even just cre...

Until they decide that discount is a database error also.

Hahaha! Golden.

The more you post about it the worse the feedback loop of negativity is going to become Yes, we don't want any negativity now, do we? We'd better not voice any dissension else we'll upset the powers that be. Come on now. Just as you have a right to glowingly support Ableton at all cost, those who a...
