Ableton Forum

I'm still pondering whether upgrade to Live 8 this week and want to check something else if anyone can help:

If I upgrade from Live 7 Suite to normal non-suite Live 8, do I keep all of my Live Suite devices from 7 (ie; sampler, tension, operator etc) or do I have to upgrade to Live 8 Suite to use them?

If you can keep the suite instruments from Live 7, is there anything major in live 8 suite that would justify spending the extra £s? Hope that made sense! Cheers.

Is there an upgrade path from 7 suite to 8 non suite?

Yes, good point - I'll forget about upgrading to Live Suite 8 and replace all the lovely synthesized Suite instruments with samples running from IK Multimedia's Sampletank.

Congratulations on taking a few hundred pounds out of Ableton's pocket, on their own forum


ps. wouldn't actually touch sampletank with a sh1tty stick..

Wow.. talk about a new low IK Multimedia.

Why even reply if you're just trying to sell your crap and not actually answer anything the guy posted about upgrading Live 7 Suite to Live 8.. ?


If you do upgrade though, you'll still be able to use Live 7 Suite in all it's glory.. just can't use the suite devices from Live 7 in Live 8.

Often there's decently priced upgrades from non-suite to suite throughout the year (I recently upgraded to Live 8 suite when it was on sale) - if you can't justify the full suite upgrade price.
