Ableton 9 who's getting it? What do you think so far? Posted on: 05.03.2013 by Alla Bluemke Well waiting to try to get it now. Servers are totally screwed, anyone get it yet? | |
| Janella Schlappich 08.03.2013 | well... TBH it's a small upgrade for years of developement. All is fine, i like the reworked browser with preview and the new devices, but.... it's a bit too expensive as upgrade |
| Toya Myall 08.03.2013 | Initial impressions are it looks great and the new features seem cool - did a audio to midi drum loop conversion and it wasnt bad (how do I change the default drumkit though?) Browser works fine for me - I really like it. My bone of contention is having to reinstall all the packs. everything is there on the computer from live 8 - why do we have to do it again? Seems that because they install as packs it wont cross transfer in an easy way. Maybe this is their way of sorting it all out for the future. Have you got that pack? then we're good to go and you dont install again rather than the pack being subsumed in the folders. Also why not utilise the old Live 8 library? No you have to set a new one up and copy everything across. Seems a bit of a waste of my ,incredibly valuable, time Also I cant decide which drumkit from the packs to install as I'm not installing all 3 of the mic'd kits - seems overkill. Other than that I'm looking forward to having a proper play - cos its got max for live I grabbed the schwarzonator - been after that for a while and its ace |

| Jeannine Drobney 08.03.2013 | I accidentally dropped a 45 second clip of a hall and oates song and ran the audio to midi in harmonic mode and the results came out pretty accurate. Definitely a lot of usable midi if I were to want to remix "I cant go for that" My only gripe is that using an older macbook pro with only 2 gigs of ram on OSX 10.6.6 was close to maxing with the demo song. Shame on me for using a macbook from 2006. |
| Nedra Fresneda 07.03.2013 | I believe Ableton's UI is a lot cleaner than most of the other DAWs. I don't need a mixer/compressor/plugin that looks like it's real life counterpart, just one that is easy to look and navigate for hours. The new skin does look a lot like a user made one that tried to port logic's color scheme for live 7, I'm back to "Light Gray". Luckily, there are UI for pretty much anyone. |
| Doreen Schurle 07.03.2013 | Got it, haven't tried it yet. I've never really liked the look of Ableton tbh, believe I'll probably stick with Reason and Komplete. Wouldn't have killed them to actually hire a UI designer so it didn't look like crap, although the same thing applies to pretty much every production suite out there :-\ |
| Wallace Lawmaster 07.03.2013 | Finally got it downloaded and installed. Opened it to check to see if it works but nothing else. Finally got my Live packs downloaded too. The Live Suite got hooked up. |
| Alla Bluemke 06.03.2013 | I finally got it. So far pretty nice, haven't had a chance to fully sit down to play with it. |
| Nedra Fresneda 05.03.2013 | Gonna demo it while it lasts, then i'm gonna make the call. |
| Wallace Lawmaster 05.03.2013 | Still downloading. Can't wait to get it installed with all the Suite content too. |

| Cliff Fairall 05.03.2013 | 2 hours to download Ableton Live 9. Felt like the days of dial up. Haven't done much in depth analysis into it, but I am really seeing potential with the audio to midi function. It needs some tweaking to the algo, but I can see myself toying with this function endlessly. My current workflow has been to sequence in Live, then do all the mastering and routings in Logic. Not going to start a flame war, but it just works better for me. Plus, my Waves plug ins never seemed to work right in Live 8. Plus, 8 was a mess with external midi. Either way, looking forward to exploring more later toevening ! BTW... had Logic as a boxed version, then upgraded through the app store. Had no issues what so ever. |
| Dione Haimes 05.03.2013 | Ill be buying it in physical format, heard a LOT of horror stories about logic from the app store |
| Alla Bluemke 05.03.2013 | Either get logic now while its cheap on the app store, or wait for the new logic, if it ever comes.... I have both logic and ableton. I prefer working in ableton personally. But logic has some great features as well. Not sure if there is a 9 demo yet. |
| Dione Haimes 05.03.2013 | Im debating to go to 9 or jump ship to logic, is there a 9 demo yet? |
| Aurelia Medwick 05.03.2013 | happy birthday to me! Gonna download the update as soon as i get home from work, and its my birthday too, thanks abelton |
| Werner Bile 05.03.2013 | I finally got authentication to work about an hour ago, but haven't played around with it yet. I'd been using the beta for quite awhile before that, does anyone know if the release version is much different from the last beta build? |
| Alla Bluemke 05.03.2013 | I'm looking at that push heavily too. I want to see some reviews first then decide. |
| Ned Somerset 05.03.2013 | Going to jump on it at the end of this month when I buy Push. Looking forward. |
