Ableton Live 9 Suite

Ableton has an intuitive workflow that compliments creativity. I'm a recent convert to the software and while it was quite a change from the others I use I'm really loving it. I would say it's an artist's DAW. Though it is lacking in mixing and mastering tools, but we use Studio One for that. I can't recommend Ableton enough for the musician, though!

Compared to every other in the box method i have tried to produce stuff on, this is by far the most intuitive. However, my recent adjustments in setup have given Live more of a "topping & tailing" type of function. This should prove how versatile this software really is.

Love the production flow in Ableton Live. With the Ableton Push it's the perfect setup to produce housemusic.

I started using Ableton after a friend told me about It. I tried it out, quite confusing at first but you get the hang of it in a couple of days.

I use it both in the studio and for performing live (though so far I've only done that in the studio). It completely revolutionized my music and my production workflow when I switched to it from Acid. I've tried a number of other DAWs, and Live is definitely the right one for me--it's intuitive for me to use, and works well with my style of production. My only major issue with it is stability, though often that's a plugin-related issue. Rendering my most recent finished work took about 10 tries due to it crashing partway through.

I am a massive fan of abletons software, i love how everything is layed out right in front of you and you can quickly access your entire library. I also love how you can directly manipulate your audio and midi without opening up another window and the automation functionality is very very quick. The whole software acts as a mixer and a sequencer at the same time, no assigning tracks to channels like in fruity loops thats for sure. It just skips straight to the point and allows you to make music, minus all the fuckarounds. I swear by it.

You literally can do everything and more in Ableton Live. Now that version 9 gives 64 bit capability, it is unstoppable.

The main reason it is so versatile is its ability to create in a studio environment, or perform in a live situation, like a conductor of a giant orchestra of your own sounds.

The two most useful features are Racks and Warping. It can make parallel or serial processing a breeze, and the user interface is super easy to navigate.

To get the most out of Live, the illMethodology.com workshops from iLL.Gates are a must see. His use of Drum racks, samplers and 128s gives you infinite capability with lightning-fast workflow.

I have been using Ableton Live for awhile now to produce and mix, and I have the Suite version, and it is the best version and the best DAW I have ever used. I have made very many songs, and remixes on this and its great in so many ways, the layout, the tools/effects, the midi, the instruments, and plugins.

Ableton Live 9 has its very unique style of a music software. Easy to learn and play around with!

Its perfect for my work flow, it has good plugins in it selfs and also de design is cool.

My first my last my only. That said not the best for straight up waveform editing.

I started using this about two months back after seeing it on a few YouTube videos and getting recommendations from a few friends. Needless to say, this is one of the best softwares on the market. And for someone like me who is just beginning and is still a novice, it has surprisingly easy controls. Plus the regular updates on the Ableton store (music, beats, et al) make for a pretty good thing.

It's one of those DAWs where I always have an idea, thanks to the session view. The intuitiveness of Ableton then allows me to transform that idea into a full-fledged song easily and quickly. I thought I'd never find a DAW I'd be truly comfortable in other than Logic... Guess I was wrong! =D

Bastixx uses Ableton Live software to produce his tracks, edits, mashups, and remixes. He frequently recommends this DAW to producers of all skill levels. He tweets "I do everything in @Ableton and would always recommend it."

Everything I could want in a DAW and more.

I love Ableton because, although it has a steep learning curve, it fits my workflow as if it was designed just for me. The hotkeys and piano roll are something out of my dreams and it allows me to splurge my inspiration in seconds. As long as you have a CPU that can handle it, Ableton will change your life in terms of getting an idea from your head and into a tune.

The one and the only DAW i've ever used.

wish it was a little easier..but overall its very powerful

I finally upgraded to an industry standard DAW. This is the best workstation I've ever used. It took some time to figure out but now that I have, my workflow is insane and my creativity is grand. Invest your time and money into Live 9 because it definitely pays off.

A great DAW easy to get your ideas down quick and onto the page, with the ability to play live you will become an unstoppable force in the music industry.

I find it more built for highly trained producers

I love using ableton live 9. easy to navigate.

Extra software plug ins compared to Live 9 and of course MAX for LIVE device(s)

Best DAW to produce your music, easy start and good capacity to make professional productions

I use Ableton Live to produce my own beats and tracks, and to organize my live sets! Feel The Beat

The perfect software for music production. A lot of tools, functions and much more!

Nothing better out there for use as a Live performance DAW.

I´m starting to use ableton live 9. I find it very easy.

My most used DAW, I bought it when I found skrillex used it. It was my second DAW and so far my favorite

This is my DAW of choice. It has great selection of effects & plugins. Great for jamming & getting ideas down fast.

Ableton has improved my work flow and simply made me a better producer. It has opened up my eyes to new possibilites and thought process when producing and for live performance. Id say its the new age standard for Electronic Music Producers and performers.

Simply put, If anyone is trying to get into electronic music production and/or do live performances with electronics...Look no further
