Cheapest way to get Ableton?

[Caine123]

As my previous topic seems to be butchered i vope this topic is a better way to something additionally. I might want to get ableton as it gets more and more interesting for me for audio mangling vs fl studio where it is tedious. I would use ableton for other genres like ambience, sound design etc.

So i read there are cheaper ways to upgrade or get ableton. I got no lite, intro or whatever version so i wonder isnt it the same to just get the suite version? ( i guess the suite version might be the best bang for the buck)
As i dont see it cheaper to first get the intro version then upgrade to suite.

Ableton is having a 30% off sale right now, but if you’re patient you’ll still probably be able to find it cheaper here in the Marketplace.

I might sell you Live 10 Suite for good price (with Push2, if that's something you're looking for as well).

PM me if interested.

Otherwise they're running a 30% sale right now.

I'd pick Bitwig before ableton, but answering your question: buy it second hand.

They currently have an extended demo period (3 months), so maybe it'd be worth taking advantage of that to work out your next move. Personally, given you already use other DAW, I'm not sure you'd need 'Suite'; at least, not right from the start. But I'd also look to trying to get a copy of 'Lite' or 'Intro', which are surprisingly well-spec'd (Now, even more than before, as they've opened up all of the stretch algorithms for these 'starter' DAW)

Also, AskAudio are still running their one-month-for$1 promotions (Until the 13th), so this would be a great opportunity to get a month's worth of Ableton tuition.

After three months, and perhaps snagging a cheap copy of 'Lite' you'll really know what you need, and then just hang out in the marketplace for the inevitable good deal

Btw - Ableton has kept surprizingly steady pricing since the launch of ver. 10. I have the ver. 9, no hurry to upgrade, but that 30 % sale is the best I've seen, so far. Live is very expensive product.
Meanwhile I have purchsed the Cubase 10 pro with a very low price, and not even had time to register it.

Won’t be long before someone asks “Have you tried Reaper?”

*Edit* Already happened - I should have checked really...

[JerGoertz]

I have an old version of Live Lite (ver 5, I think) I could sell you, if that helps with an upgrade price.

[andypryce]

What? Still not tried Reaper?!

You have a Focusrite audio interface which comes with Ableton lite and other useful software.
They're in your Focusrite account.
