Purchasing Live/Suite

[AngusG]

Hey guys,

Long time lurker, first time poster here.

Long story short, I'm one of those DJs who's been slowly learning how to produce but not really getting very far with it ATM (mainly due to time constraints). So I guess what I'm getting at is, I know how to find my way around a DAW, but in reality I'm still a n00b.

Anyway, I have a full copy of Logic Studio 9 (completely legit) but I'm sick of Logic's general interface and counter-intuitiveness.

I received a free, legit copy of Ableton Live 7 when I bought my mixer a few years ago, and can get a decent deal on updating to Live 8, I'd really be interested in updating it, but need help choosing between Live and Suite, also, is there any real advantage in getting a box vs download? I have about 400gb a month to burn through so download's not really an issue.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Angus

Personally, I love Live, so I think you're making a good choice there. However, I am not sure that Suite was worth it for me because I haven't found the additional instruments that usable. Despite the fact that I own the Live instruments I actually use 3rd party soft synths a lot more. Hope this helps

Thanks guys, I think I'll grab the Full Suite box, mainly because there isn't a huge amount of difference between the two price-wise.

Thanks again for your help!
