Well that's about the same (apparently) as it is to upgrade from Suite 8 to Suite 9 so is it so bad?shpongled wrote:I got exactly the same thing. What seemed like a reasonable (but not insignificant sum to upgrade to Suite then Live 9) and now it shoots up to 254 Euro from 179 Euro.
This has been handled very badly.

That's what this thread is about. Did you read the first post? Not that it necessarily answers your question but there's the response.tesla3090 wrote:I also just had the price jump up by almost $80, could we get a response as to what is happening?

Re: Live 9 Pricing
What a shame the longest thread about live 9 is this one.
DAWS: Live 11 Suite + PUSH2, Studio One, Bitwig and Reason all via an X32 desk: Instruments: modular and analogue stuff, guitars, basses and drums.
Re: Live 9 Pricing
I did, it doesn't answer my question though. I'm upgrading from 7 suite. I had added the 8 suite upgrade to my cart yesterday but was waiting on an email back from support before I bought. I just checked my cart a few minutes ago and the price had shot way up. Basically if I had purchased yesterday I would have saved $80... So I want to know why the change.

when Studio One offered upgrades at a discounted price recently it overlooked owners of a previous version...eventually they offered a discounted price to those who contacted them directly, hopefully Ableton will do the same...if not suite was never a priority...and certainly not at $300 free upgrade to Suite 9 in 5 months or not

Re: Live 9 Pricing
Pretty infuriating to be honest. If a product is wrongly priced in a shop and you take it to the counter they sell it to you for that price. This feels like I've take it to the counter and they've snatched it out of my hands and slapped a bigger price tag on it. Today has gone from "Ableton take my money!" to "What's the url for Bitwig's website again?".

Re: Live 9 Pricing
I put mine into the cart at the cheaper price though. Ableton is already ludicrously priced compared to it's competitors and hiking them up like this is only making things worse.fabrice segura wrote:Yesterday's prices were wrong... you snooze, you lose.
