Re: why is so expensive?
Mass producing guitars can be cheap and easy.
You could easily sell a guitar to every single person in the world for extremely cheap.
We have the resources.
But no incentive. No one Wants to sell their supplies and manpower for that cheap. Anyway,
Just because it is a real object, does not mean that it necessarily has realistic limitations. Imaginary, yeah, but in our world, the only limitation is that there are asking prices for these resources. Just like Ableton has an asking price for their resources in program and design.
I have also seen some companies offer things for free to those who live in third world countries (I think Usine offers this).
Each company makes their own personal decisions in business practice. It might be appealing to have opinions on how it could or should be, but we aren't necessarily selling that product, and trying to attract employees in a competitive market for producing the product.
tl;dr: is=is

Acquiring Ableton Live automagically makes people legit cash in the 'biz'. By supposedly not making it affordable, they are essentially blocking us from that.
The moment you get that sweet software installed on yo drive, your shit be off the hook. The phone ringing off the hook, the pirating single handedly with yer peg leg off da hook, your baselines with Peter in the studio off te hook and you'll have so many female visitors, their coats will fall off the hook. You'll be sucking prime fumes off the hooka. You don't have to waste your time, paying off hookas. People be begging Ableton just to hook us. UP with that good shit cuz we come from outta nowhere and make an instant hit.
Single, but that's not what I'm making it'll be in the triple quadruple quintuple digits, double platinum. Triple D's. drop to their knees. Suckin on D's
Nuts. You're crazy. You're outta control. Without Live I'd be fresh outta prison. On Parole.
I make hits. I ain't got no records out yet. But I make hits. You wanna get with me and make some beats?
No.
Seriously. Ableton isn't denying people of their 'true potential'. If you want something badly enough. You'll work towards it. And get what you can going.
If you want to be a pro with audio, one software isn't going to make or break your career. Your mind and heartbreak will stop you before you even try to start. It takes getting involved with your interests, passions, curiosities and making efforts.

i would call her an infectious little bitch... but i don't want that to be confused for something positive... i'd be meaning something more along the lines of syphilis or gonorrhoea.
