I was using Live lite 7 which came with a focusrite interface (2009), at the tinme I was trying to use reaper. After playing with Live I ditched reaper.
Then when I went to buy a new interface the store ofeered me Live 8 standard (2011) for 200 USD (boxed) and I took the plunge, upgraded to suite with version 9.
Now I have Push and a couple of packs. I love Live
Since version 3, which I'm willing to sell to anyone interested in the Vintage sound of early warping, seriously kids get in on the new 'it' sound early, a steal for €500.
