hi. i have ableton live 4. dont laugh at me please hehe. the question is... i really havent learnt or mastered all the options in this version in fact im still learning a lot from a book called Ableton Live 4 Power!! which is great. Should i upgrade anyway???
i mean the video support is no use for me and support for vst plugins is to me quite cool enough. on the other hand, i also think that the audio files played on ableton doesnt sound as good as lets say cubase or wavelab! does the new version fix this???
is it more heavy on the cpu or less (im kinda outdated now as i own a Pentium 4 2.8 Ghz).
Should i do it, what u guys think???

You should check out the demo for Live 6 (or Live 5) and decide. The demo is fully functional, except you can't save or record.
On of the major advantages of Live 6 is that it is supposedly more CPU friendly. You machine should have no problems.
As for the audio not sounding as good in Ableton, are you talking about time-stretched audio? Live 5 introduced "Complex" time-stretching for working with full mixes. Lots of new features have been added since Live 4, so really your best bet is to check out the demo. In my opinion, Live is by far the most revolutionary software out right now, so I'm upgrading to 6 as soon as I can afford it. |

well, to be CPU friendly u have to make compromises... That means that the real-time rendering engine from ableton is not as powerfull (hence not as heavy on the cpu) as the one used in cubase and wavelab... U notice that because cubase starts glitching much sooner then ableton (with the same number of plugins/aduiofiles). That's why it sounds a liiiiittle worse in real time. If u render to a wav though u can choose a much better algorithm, and the render from ableton should sound just as good as if u would render it with cubase or wavelab. |

hey there people
fregle, i see it the other way around, i dont know why but the ableton realtime rendering engine seems to be heavier than the one from cubase or logicaudio...
in my experience ive seen daws support much more plugins and instruments with the last two mentioned softwares than with ableton live.
anyways, the heviest or not, i still love this software.
for sure!! b00m brothers

Looks kinda neat... It seems that most of the improvements have been made for the production end of things, which is great, but I was also hoping for a few more things to enhance the real time capabilities of the program, as that is my main focus for using the program... Still the improvements that were made to the functionality (especially the multiple midi mapping) look pretty good on paper. We'll see how it works in actuality...

I personally love Live.Been using it since the early versions and did few showcase for Ableton here in JApan.I use Live for most of my set and wil always do.
So I am not going to talk bad about it.
But can please someone tell them to fix the graphic interface?I think it is horrid.
Seriously,i hate looking at the screen when the program is loaded.
