Is it a long a or short a?
As in "wait" or "cat"
I thought it was German made so it should be a short a.

In the Ableton videos, Gerhard Behles and others pronounce it with a long a "Abe-ul-ton".
It is the case that if you pass it to a german translation pronouncer app, it will say "Abbleton".

It's funny how many people in the US say "Apleton". They really think that's what it's called. I even had a guy correct me once when I said Ableton....and he'd been using the program for months!

yeah, ay bul ton. like a as in wait.
how do you pronounce layla?
Every breeze that blows
brings your scent to me;
Every bird that sings
calls out your name to me;
Every dream that appears
brings your face to me;
Every glance at your face
has left its trace with me.
I am yours, I am yours,
whether near or far;
Your grief is mine, all mine,
wherever you are.
(from layla and majnun)

Now, is that pronounced live as in a "live show" or live as in "live your life"?

All wrong

Neither, it's Live-ee (like Nike-ee).
