Ableton Live 8 featured at NAMM

Live is a great piece of software. The latest version has a lot of new features, new instruments, better workflow and easy sharing of sets between users. Maybe this time the devs will make it sound good too.

I don’t want to spoil the hype but it seems that the next version of Live has no sonic improvements. That’s bad because the lack of proper sound quality keeps Live out of the circle of pro audio DAW’s. Of course it’s easy to use, handles loops and it’s great for live performances. Maybe it’s just me but when I’m mixing with Ableton I keep making dull and ugly mixes even using a few tracks. But hey, hope dies last.

  • Maybe its you any how just use live as a rewire clinet in Cubase

  • I agree with the review, ableton live would be the best software if the sound quality was close or similar to cubase…

    about the tip of Maurice on use it in Rewire on cubase; ableton has another stupid limited option, wich is: ableton do not allow VST instruments in Rewire mode, wich means you had no point in use ableton in rewire on cubase, because you only will be able to use native instruments from Live

    i´m still waiting for FLStudio 9 (why?) because is like ableton!, NON linear sequencer, because it has today better sound quality than Ableton… and is such good as ableton to flow your ideas and to produce electronic music.

    Flstudio is no longer a toy, it has improved from 10 to 100 in the last 2 versions in sound quality

    ableton still is the best program to LIVE acts and i realy hope that they improve sound engine!

    Regards
