Default Re: Ableton Live

I played with Live Lite 7 for about 3 hours. The fact that your are limited to basically 8 tracks makes it extremely difficult to do anything meaningful. For example, if you download the demo pack, you will discover that none of the songs can be played in Lite.

On the other hand, someone who is extremely resourceful could probably work with 4 audio and 4 midi tracks, but that, in my opinion, defeats the whole purpose of the program.

If you are looking for a straight ahead, traditional sequencer/DAW, then this program is probably not for you. If you are looking for a program that allows you to quickly sketch out an arrangement, then experiment with different parts in a plug and play fashion, then you will love this program.

This program is simple to start using, but will take a long time to master, because of its depth. This is where I agree with Brandon: pick one program and work with it until you become an expert. For me, Ableton Live is the program of choice.
