Brian Lawler Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 2 hours ago, AndyB01 said: My son uses Ableton but he has a really old version. It's offering me the code as I am eligible so I am wondering if I can find a way to buy it for him to use - it's one hell of a saving! I'm not too sure about this requirement to have a registered version of Live Lite as he doesn't use that. I'll have to read the small print. Maybe could buy it for yourself and transfer it. Ableton does not charge for transfers. I bought Suite 11 last year on KVR and sold it after a few months on Knobcloud because I didn't care for it. Might want to check with Ableton support to be sure if you go that route. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like all of them not named Live Suite. FL Studio, Studio One, Cubase, Reason, Reaper, Mixcraft, Acid. I have licenses of the above and 2 Suite licenses since Live 8. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technostica Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 10 hours ago, Milan said: Reaper, Logic, FL Studio and Studio One Artist are good and don't cost too much to keep up to date. At least some of those should be proper DAWs. ? Comparing Reaper and the Artist version of Studio One with the Suite version of Ableton Live is not a direct comparison. At least compare versus the Standard version of Ableton. I don't use Suite but it doesn't get a paid upgrade that often but it does get a lot of free updates for a number of years. It's been about 4 years between paid upgrades in recent years, so not that expensive per annum. Showing as £269.50 for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesse g Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Live lite is listed as a free download if you never downloaded it from your Focusrite account before. Since I never needed Live Lite, I never downloaded it. Now I have Live Lite just sitting there and I have the 50% off offer for the Full version of Live, so I could download Live lite and then apply the 50% offer, … Nah, I don't want Ableton Live on my computer.

jngnz Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Novation is offering the same thing for Launchkey MK3 owners and some other hardwarem which I feel like is a little more likely than having a Focusrite interface newer than Sept 2022: https://novationmusic.com/de/news/exclusive-offer-get-massive-50-ableton-live-11-suite However, I do own 2 Launchkey MK3 products and I don't see the offer in my account anywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goalposts were set at "proper DAW" by the person who posed the question. Waveform and Logic Pro are a couple more that don't "cost somewhere around [$250] for updates." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
