Ableton Live Reviews & Product Details

There is so much you can do with this program. It's a great way to explore your musical ideas. There are sound packs to get you started, but you can also use your own samples. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This program can crash sometimes, even on good computers. It's also expensive. As well, it takes a while for some people to learn. You may never fully master this program because there are so many features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Layout and ease of use is the best in the business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very little that I dislike, one small thing is compatibility with some specific hardware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ableton gives you so many options on how to utilize it for live performance, from Key changes to the ability to change the Beats per minute in the arrangement of a song. It gives you a choice to use "Session View" for a less cluttery look or a more classic DAW style with" arrangement view". Ableton has no right or wrong way to use it. It's completely customizable to your preference! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a Learning curb to understanding how to get things going. Other than that this is one of the most amazing tools for live music I have used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As an amateur musician, I have found ableton live really played into my knowledge of software. Ableton's online support, with in depth 'How-To' videos, and extremely helpful online articles, I picked up the software in no time. Each sound runs like chops and hits, so it's very easy to understand. Recording straight into Ableton Live is also possible, which can really spice up your live set.

It is a bit of a learning curve to start off with. I found it difficult to get my head around it, however with Ableton's online support, I was completely up to speed within a week (which even surprised me!) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The visualizer is a great tool to see how many audio tracks I have for editing and mixing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve can be pretty wide for this program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Love the click track and backing tracks you are able to create and use in it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing, really. Pretty user friendly. Works great with MACS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it has the capability to produce any type of electronic music you could come up with. it is impressive at track-based recording for solo artists. with this software you are able to queue up and play music as you see it which is why it is called live, but it is an advantage this software has over other competitors. there is a plethora of instruments and music effects to use, which makes it easy to create a unique sound. once you get the hang of the software the ease of use improves greatly and the ability to create music goes very fast and efficiently.

the price can be expensive for most average, new users. it is not very well capable for recording multiple musicians at one time. the learning curve is steep, it takes a lot of time to learn all of the features that ableton offers and in order to perfect these features you need to spend a lot of time learning how to work the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the many features of Ableton, and the ease of recording multiple tracks. This is a terrific program for both the beginner and the expert. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's not much I dislike about Ableton. It definitely is a program that can take you as far as you want to invest in it. There is a slight learner's curve. Terrific program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How easy it is to use and to learn, very powerful tool and amazing result. Possibility to add many plugins. I really like how powerful and seamless the software is. Whether it is sound editing, producing or live mixing, Ableton is always my first choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The layout sometimes is messy, and asks for a lot of resources Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ableton Live 9.5 is an excellent DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). The layout is intuitive and not overwhelming. The program opens up with built-in tutorials and has a useful "Help View". You can follow the lessons and learn the different aspects of the "Session View" and "Arrangement View". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In this version of Live, I found the GUI to be a little boring. The Playhead also stops when you click on anything during playback. I understand that these two things are improved upon in the 10 Release. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
