The one thing to point out with Melodyne, it's not just Audio-To-MIDI but where you can change the audio to any Scale of any Key and the individual notes that you want before it goes to MIDI.
Hopefully Albeton 9 is able (no pun intended) to allow changing of Scales and Keys of scales within Ableton 9 as well, if not, Melodyne is still your best bet.

The reason I mention changing at the DAW level too is, you'd kill the workflow if you have to go back to Melodyne again and have to change or experiment with Scales/Keys for an audio and then have to create another MIDI file to put into your DAW again.

You'd want to be able to start with Melodyne but stay creative in your DAW like this.

OK since the 2 features that the lack of made me sell it are going to be in 9, and the upgrade from Intro to Live Suite (with free upgrade to Suite 9 inc M4L) was so tempting, I just bought it again

Can't wait to get my hands on M4L

+1. Also have Live8 Suite + M4L already. How can my upgrade be more expensive than if you have just Live8 now???

Ableton really messed up on this one.

, doesn't make any sense, it's like a slap on our faces.

wow, just tried checking the pricing on upgrading the two Live 8 Standard licenses my department owns.

the 'what's new' page says the upgrade price (to 8 Suite with free 9 Suite) is 349EU

shop says the upgrade price (to 8 Suite with free 9 Suite) is 179EU.

But they're advertising that as '25% off' ??? WTF?

(As an individual, upgrading the Suite+M4L from 8 to 9, Ive got pricing of 199EU on the 'whats new' page, and there's nothing appropriate in the shop.)

(If this is their final pricing I'd be better of trading my own license with one of the college's, FFS)

I like the pricing that U-HE uses with their new plugins: there is a limited time introductory price. So if you buy early, you get it cheaper. Afterwards it's always the normal price.

This doesn't make sense at all... I really hope they fix this one.

This is bullshit, where is dual monitor support? Where is flexible routing?

I should be able to tell Pro-C where to get sidechain audio from. Why is this feature still missing??

+11111 Yep, major screw up with the pricing. Why should those of us who stumped up the full whack of cash for Suite get the raw deal? Panicked pricing structure on the back of a fag packet due to the leaked video perhaps? Sort it out Ableton!

If that's the case , my Suite license is going for sale, collect and invest in BitWig no matter what.

GREED!!!

No doubt Bitwig will be offering a tasty crossgrade for Ableton users

I think its just an oversight and they will provide an upgrade offer for those of us that own everything.

Who penalises customers that have paid for everything and supported them for years but rewards new users who will be paying peanuts?!?!?

FWIW "leaked" is typically part of "PR strategy" in 99% of cases.

Peace,

I personally believe the leak was part of their media campaign.
Nothing like a bit of blurry info to excite the masses lol

As they're sitting there watching the "hits" on their 'leaks', and pull-the-plug just as it starts to go viral.

Kinda like squirting a wasp nest.

I was looking at the site and thinking to myself "This is garbage. How am I supposed to find out anything on here". Then after a while I realised if you scroll down they have loads more info.

I think the new website looks great.
