Ableton Forum

Hi guys! I'm a novice. I've got "Ableton Live Lite" with my M-Audio sound card, and now I'm learning the built-in tutorials.
I can't get, is it a real thing to produce music, or it's just a toy and I should upgrade "Lite" to full version?
I've found just Impulse and Simpler there and no synthesizers. I'm confused.

There is a comparison chart somewhere. Near as I can tell, lite is the real deal. Just the number of things is limited, so unless you need millions of this and that stick with Lite as you learn. Upgrade only when you bump into a limitation. Lite WILL load VST, btw, so you are not limited to what came in the package. I am a total newbie, so this may not be exactly the case, but I think I am on the right track here.

Thanks, I didn't know about VST. So if I can plug other instruments besides Impulse and Simpler, then Lite isn't just a small toy .

Hello,

Many thanks. The comparison chart is that I was looking for.

It's more tangled than I thought
Look at: http://www.ableton.com/pages/live_7_lit ... ison_chart

In the header: Live Lite 7 M-Audio Edition vs. Live 7 comparison chart
In the table: Live Lite 7, Live 8

Well, what's correct, Live Lite vs. Live 7 or Live 8?
