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

Ableton is the easiest and most effective DAW that I ever used. It's very accessible and user friendly and it allows many kinds of workflow from live performances to studio production. The built-in tools are quite powerful and very light on the CPU of the computer, without even mentioning Max for Live which is basically a whole other world that can be used within Ableton. MIDI is extremely easy to program and to map as well as warping and manipulating audio files. I use Ableton pretty much for everything: producing, recording, mixing, mastering, editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ableton Live?

There are few downsides to the software: the editing is not as accurate and it doesn't go as much in depth as for example Pro Tools. The latency can be a headache sometimes, even with MIDI. Exporting separate tracks is also a bit weird because it exports only stereo files even for mono tracks and consolidating clips together normalizes the audio which is something you may not want all the time. I'd say there are a few things that can be improved even if it remains for me the fastest DAW to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Ableton DAw is very easy to use as well it provides wide range of great build in presets and instruments. And with a bit of learning you have the freedom to create your own favourite instrument presets or mastering rack.And you can simply use it even without a gear recording notes straight from your computer keyboard. I use it since 2008 ableton v.7 . The DAW is one that one beginner can easy learn to use fast and produce its own music. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sound engine of Ableton i think needs bit of improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Everything is possible with this DAW !"
5/5
What do you like best about Ableton Live?

Ableton alone is capable enough to make any type of music through its amazing set of plugins and instruments. Ableton is the new choice of bedroom producers and high-level professionals. Ableton has all the features like quantize, midi mapping, plugin support, and the workflow are very easy and smooth. It has everything in it and can be used by all types of music producers and musicians.

I have been using Ableton for more than 5years and I have no complaints about the software. I tried many music software but none of them made it in my day to day use.

Ableton Live is capable enough for performing electronic music on the go. it is suitable for a small party and big DJ events as well. Ableton also supports world-class powerful plugins to take your music to the next level and here the next level means we are talking about industry-standard audio production work.

What do you dislike about Ableton Live?

low specs pc or computer faces lots of load time as it is a powerful daw to do everything. Ableton live may seem costly to people who are just starting out as a beginner in the industry. It also has a free demo download available but one cannot export from the trial version. Ableton's theme and look is different from the other software one might find it uninteresting.
