"My main go to software when it comes to audio/music production"
5/5
What do you like best about Ableton Live?

One of the simplest and most versatile DAW software I have worked in. It's really easy to install plug-ins and navigate through Ableton in your preferred addons and start producing music or edit any type of audio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ableton Live?

There is not much to dislike about Ableton when you are not comparing really small details and are not working on a fully professional level. Besides the technical aspect, i would say the prices are a little bit high for the different versions, but it is still worth the money if you are looking for one of the best music/audio DAW that is out there.

"Software and hardware that help people create amazing music."
5/5
What do you like best about Ableton Live?

It's not simple to make music. It takes effort, time, and knowledge. And Ableton live helps you in achieving the kind of music you want with its incredible interface and workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ableton Live?

I have experienced glitches when global latency is kept too high. Thus when this happens it feels irritating when you are working seriously on something that you are trying to figure out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazing software for Music Production! Beats every other software out there in the game!"
5/5
What do you like best about Ableton Live?

Extraordinary and very powerful music production software! Abelton stock plugins are next level! The new hybrid reverb and morphing feature is out of this world! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ableton Live?

Uses a massive amount of CPU to run VSTs, Ableton crash sometimes due to its weight on CPU, only if it efficiently used CPU it would have been a lot better, and less amount of crashes would be a lifesaver . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Mixing away"
4/5
What do you like best about Ableton Live?

I have loved getting to know the application better in order to try and record my own music. It has a lot fo great built in sounds and the interface is great for mixing my songs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ableton Live?

It is very hard to understand at first and there are many things that can go wrong. I once recorded a song using the wrong rate for sounds waves and I had to rerecord the entire thing after 2 hours of work already :/ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Thoughts on Ableton"
5/5
What do you like best about Ableton Live?

Ableton is great for music composition. I love the performance view that sets everything up based on loops. It's a great function to create music and I couldn't live without it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ableton Live?

It's a little different than other audio workstations, so it takes some getting used to. I also don't like how you can't operate across multiple versions of Ableton (if you're using version 9.0 you can't open or send versions to 10.0). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Ableton Review"
5/5
What do you like best about Ableton Live?

Ableton Live has got many plugins that you can implement, it has a drag and drop interface for installing plugins. It can be well synced with instruments to make electronic music. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ableton Live?

It has a learning curve and some people may dislike it for that but I don't, because the features can not be simplified more. It is still easy to use compared to other alternatives out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effective But Buggy!"
4/5
What do you like best about Ableton Live?

I like just how well the software works in terms of workflow, the audio devices, and even using Operator can yield some beautiful productions! A must-have! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ableton Live?

Although it is easy/practical to use, some of the bugs in it have never been fixed. From the infamous pitch bend bug to just randomly crashing, it needs work! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
