Actually, I'm wondering if anyone knows how many VST effect and how many VSTi instruments Live 9 Intro will be limited to supporting?

Also, this chart https://www.ableton.com/en/live/feature-comparison/ indicates 16 Audio and MIDI tracks.. is it safe to assume that is combined (total) ?

apparently you can now load legacy packs. I guess that is good news, but I don't know what it really means

Alot of places sell packs of ableton presets/instruments/effects racks, like the puremagnetik stuff I own a few packs of. Also some sample companies offer ableton packs of clips. Before you couldnt import any of these into live9 but now you can.

Thanks. And thanks to all the helpful people! You deserve a big

The manual is good, but simple. It's been really easy for me to miss stuff and the beta thing has been for me.....a challenge.

So thanks again!

Ask the Ableton support.

I'm not sure, but i don't think they will change to much on the upgrade policy and prices, so you may get a better deal with the 25%.

I've asked them about some discount on the Push controller for Launchpad and Suite 8 owners. The answer was like: "No discount for Launchpad owners, because it's not Ableton nor Akai." And for the Suite owners: "Yes, maybe, but no pricings yet."

I was also very interested on the Push controller, but it is currently too expensive in my eyes. For the time being i'll stay with my Launchpad and BCR-2000.

Hmmm. My new price on it is now £139 from Live8 Suite with M4L to Live9 Suite, or £109 to Live9 Standard.

What was their really cheap discounted Live 8 -> Live8 Suite with free Live9 Suite price again? Bout 150EUR or something?

edit : ah wait; they'd originally listed (quoting myself) "an upgrade price of 199EU for the Suite or 129EU for Live9"

That works out at £170 and £110 roughly, so 9 Standard stays what it was, but 9 Suite is only an extra £30 over that, instead of an extra £60-£70. Thats far more worth it to me, given what I already owned.

(An 8-day window for it is pretty shite though consider the discounted in-version-upgrade-plus-free9 deals have been available for months.)

Their day 1 incorrect super-cheap pricing of Live 8 to Live 8 Suite with 9 and MFL free was $194. Which was very nice.

So Live8 deals are valid before release of Live9.
