How best to handle Ableton Live 9 versioning?

Proposal: move all pro attributions for various versions and editions of Live to a single "Ableton Live" entry.

I've attributed Ableton Live to dozens of artists, and not one has ever specified what version they are on.

Given Ableton has only changed incrementally over 20 years (at least visually), and doesn't have the same I'm-committed-to-this-10-year-old-version-so-obviously-I'm-a-wizard thing that ProTools and Logic have... would it make more sense to just have a single product entry for "Ableton Live" for attributing to artists and leave it at that?

Update: ok. lol... maybe I'll poke this one again in a few years. :)

This is one of those tough Equipboard edge cases.

Newer Ableton versions will continue to come out, and many artists who have old versions will upgrade... some won't... what should happen on Equipboard then?

I could definitely get on board with consolidating all Ableton versions into one, but I'd like more buy-in from the community. I'd love to hear any opposing viewpoints.

Same argument for FL Studio I suppose?

I appreciate your consideration and attention here gchiaren, thank you.

That said, I didn't make my case in this original post very cleanly/effectively, so I doubt it will inspire anyone else in the community to chime in.

When I have the time, maybe I'll mock up how nice and clean single entries for Ableton Live and FL Studio could look, with 1,000+ artists attributed to each... and maybe folks here will feel this makes more sense than adding separate entries for every major version # and edition change-up over the next 20 years of Equipboard's life... but maybe they won't. lol.

Maybe the community wants to eventually have 8 different versions apiece of ProTools, Live, and FLStudio logged to Daft Punk's profile? If this is their will, so be it.

I am truly and honestly AOK to live with any approach; I will log things in whatever way is agreeable to most moderators, admins, and anyone else who cares. It's the void in agreement/guidance that I was originally looking to clarify; I'm not ride-or-die for any one approach... I just seek consensus.

the only place I would draw a line with FL studio is the jump from fruity loops the 9pattern sample sequencer into FL studio the full fledged DAW. There was a point at which it added the little monosynth and a play list sequencer so you didn't have to manually change patterns and I think that was when it was still fruity loops and I was using it in conjunction with other software and hardware... and then enxt thing you know? full vst support, recording to disc, real time automation for every control, lots of new controls, a legit mixer...etc and then it was FL studio. Prior to that you could NOT make a whole song with it beyond doing something like you would do in rebirth, and I think it was really designed to be a rebirth slayer... so there's a point at which it went from being a virtual sampling drum machine that was really a tool to use with your more serious DAW or tape machine/ADAT. Early onit didn't even MIDI sync, it was just a wy to make loops to import into soething like acid where you had that first stab at time stretch (acid was totally the father of ableton, legit)

so yeah, fruityoops should be separate from flstudio.... those of us who used it back then remember
