what's the difference between live 6 full version and live lite 6?

[UPDATE]
Live Lite 6 Limitations list updaterered:

• Max number of tracks is 10. (Audio, midi, return, master)
• Max number of return tracks is 1 (therefore 1 send)
• Number of mono input channels is 8 (4 audio, 4 MIDI)
• Number of audio tracks is limited to 4
• Number of MIDI tracks is limited to 4
• Number of simultaneous VST/AU plug-in load is 1
• Number of audio effects per set is limited to 2 (hint: use racks)
• No native mp3 support
• 4 Scene LImitation
• Rewire function disabled. (I can't confirm this).
• No operator (you can use it but in goes to demo mode - have to restart to get it back to Lite mode)
• No sampler (you can use it but in goes to demo mode - have to restart to get it back to Lite mode)
• Makes bad trance

Haha! So true

its pretty much considered to be a demo...
its very useless.

I don't find it useless in any way. It's actually usable in the sense that you can save just as with the full version.

Limitations forces creativity...

And a reasonable upgrade path: http://www.ableton.com/upgrade-live-lite

Theres' one big omission from the Lite version not mentioned above.

It does not support MP3 files

Not ideal.

Wouldn't bother me at all from a composing point of view. From a DJing POV, just convert to .wav or .aif before importing - it's done internally otherwise anyway...

It's basically free software!

Biggest Limitation is it's 4 Scenes only, other than that it would be perfect (for me).

i was trying out the demo of live 6 before i really get into live and i need to as this how do people sequence in live? I am used to reason but i still cant get sequencing a full track in live.

Sorry, but what's your question?

live lite is just a marketing tool

$300 to upgrade to the full version, nice marketing.

Thats the best way to not spend alot of money, you just buy your favourite hardware equpment that has Live Lite, preferably an M-Audio midi controller then just upgrade
