keep 'em both but use 4!

cause four's got tons more to do...but i'm not sure how lite the lite is i prefer full bodyed insted so really you should just upgrade to full figured 4!

Oh, by the way, i meant i just downloaded the upgrade, i didnt mean i stole it off Kazaa or anything. I already owned a previous digidesign version that came with my Mbox.

I just realised my post could have been interpreted that i had gotten it illegally and maybe its why i haven't had many responses and why nobody has told me which is the more complete version?

I don't condone stealing software.

From Macmusic.com:

"While Live Lite 4 is a feature-limited version of the full Live 4 music recording and mixing software, it adds functionality not present in the previous version of the Digidesign Edition, including better control of volume, pitch and timing, new audio and MIDI effects and more"

Fire them up one at a time and check the track count. I seem to remember reading somewhere that version 4 has only 4 audio tracks as opposed to the earlier versions' 6 but I'm not sure.
