    "Gets better and better"

    October 2, 2006  |   By Theallseeingeye

    Version: Live 6.0.1

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    From a DJ pooint of view, there is good reason why this app is winning all the awards and Version 6 adds the Cherry on the top. Universal Binary and more importantly, multi core and processor support give Live and the DJ even more power to go absolutly bonkers in the creativity department. My girlfriend hates it.

    "The Best Sequencer Arranger Available for Mere..."

    April 16, 2005  |   By Luminous

    Version: Live 4.1.2

    Summary

    ...Mortals!
    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    Unless you have a professional studio and access to a full version of Pro-Tools with a hundred fully registered plugins, this is the greatest arranger/sequencer there is. It interfaces wonderfully with Reason to get your beats, with Guitar Rig for your wailing solos, with Pro-53 for that retro sound, with Crunch for cheap & dirty overdrive, with Garageband for your loops. It all works. Even on it's own, it has everything you need to get started with Midi and Live Recording, and what is possibly the best interface available for the beginning digital artist (with step by step built-in tutorials to boot). Download the demo. Buy it. Download the full version. You can do it all in a day without leaving the comfort of your home.

    And as for arranging on the fly or DJ-ing. Don't get me started. Because, seriously, I don't do much with that. But if you want to step up from Garageband, you could do a lot worse, and not a lot better than this.

    "Revolutionary"

    October 2, 2003  |   By negativebase--2008

    Version: Live 3.0

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    I've been working in electronic music for almost 6 years. I was a huge cubase fan and even nuendo. As a composition tool everything starts with live and a dare say it will soon end with live. These guys know their *censored*. In combination with reason I can't think of two better production tools. I'm surprised they don't ask for more money. They have truely changed the face of music and not just electronic music. They have brought electronic music back to the freeform. As fast as you can concieve it it can be done. With live ... I think jazz musicians would turn over in their graves happy to know as fast as you feel it it can be expressed.

    "Very Ableton"

    September 11, 2003  |   By Meera Ram

    Version: Live 2.1.2

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    This program is one of the most exciting new music programs to Mac for a long time. While simple it still allows one to do things that no other programs can offer in new and exciting ways. Now with ProTools 6.1 and Rewire on the Mac, Ableton Live grows even stronger as the loop tweaking tool of choice.

    Highly recommended!
