Opinions on Live 10 release date & next Ableton sale? 2016-02-20T07:35:06+00:00 Hello everyone... I am still very new to this scene... been playing around with Live Lite 9 off and on since about July'15. I recently decided that I wanted to upgrade to Suite, but unfortunately missed Ableton's 25% sale back in late November. Since I can't bear (or afford) to pay the full $649 upgrade price, I've been looking in the Marketplace thread here but haven't had any luck yet. Sadly, I just missed a great offer from reputable KVR member last week by a couple hours, so now I wanted to get some feedback from those who have been around for longer, especially in regard to Ableton's version upgrade and sale cycle. My first question is, I believe that Ableton usually has at least 2 sales per year. I obviously just missed the one 3 months ago, but does anyone know when they usually have their next one? I was hoping for President's day since Guitar Center & a lot of other music vendors have big sales, but nothing was offered from Ableton. Is the next one likely not coming till mid-year? Like around July 4th? Or, are they at all predictable? Also, are their offers outside of the Black Friday one usually 25% off as well? Or is this also an unpredictable factor? Finally, does anyone have any kind of inclination as to when Live 10 might be released? I realize that this is likely very hard to predict, especially given the fact that the time between v8 & v9 seemed ridiculously long. Also, since they just released 9.5 & 9.6 within the last ~2 months, and there was no mention on Live 10 at NAMM, is it relatively unlikely that we will see v10 at all in 2016? I know these are very hard things to predict, but I'm just trying to make the best decision possible since this is a major purchase for me. If I could find a license transfer for under $400 from a reputable seller, I would feel much more comfortable just pulling the trigger now, but of course there is know way of knowing when or if that will happen. I do have a 15% off upgrade coupon that was kindly offered to me by Ableton last week, but even with that it's around $550... and then if Live 10 isn't released in the next 5-6 months (which doesn't seem likely), I'm faced with yet another upgrade fee in possibly less than a year. Thank you in advance for your opinions and advice! GabryRox https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=371650
