We all wish we had a sales time machine but we don't!
ABLETON LIVE 11 UPGRADE PRICE FULL
But that's on me for impulsively buying it at full price when I did. I just bought a Kontakt library for $60 the night before it got bundled with two other libraries for $40. We all get stuck with buyers remorse at some point. Logic is widely used and $200 gets you everything. (I personally think Logic 10.5 was the actual shots fired moment for them as opposed to Bitwig.
Personally I see the pricing as being reflective of competition from other DAWs finally starting to develop their own version of Live's unique hook. While it isn't great the price is a hell of a lot better than it has been. The Collectors Edition is outright bullshit.) I see $183 when I log in, the lowest I've paid for a Live upgrade previously was $220, before that I believe it was closer to $300. This is actually the cheapest upgrade price I've seen for Live ever. If you want Ableton to continue to exist you have to pay into it from time to time. That doesn't fund good development.ĭevelopment is also EXPENSIVE. If developers caved to every requests from a user about just missing the upgrade price window, or not having to pay an upgrade fee after x amount of months no one would pay an upgrade fee unless they were more than a version behind. Unfortunately that's the reality of software. If you get left with a nasty one when your year is up you're SOL.Īnd I totally get that. But BW isn't perfect and they've had a lot of bugs lately. More collection colors - (Why 7 ?! Who the hell settled on 7?!! )Ĭlick to expand.Sure you can indeed.VST/AU plugin catgeorization/'virtual' folders.Clip "gain handles" - (a la Studio One).It also just seems like if they're finally going to add things like comping and multi-track editing they might as well round out the bunch by adding bounce in place.Įither way I'm on the beta waiting list and the 1st thing I'm either requesting, or voting on if already requested is bounce in place. It also gives you the benefit of bouncing multiple channels down to a single audio file, which I use in Logic all the time if I'm getting near the stem phase.

The whole point of true bounce in place is to convert any and all tracks into audio without any caveats by by bouncing each selected track offline inside the session. Once you get to a point where you have dropouts you can toss that out the window so you're back to square one with freeze. The closer version of this is resampling in Live, however resampling will only work as long as your CPU isn't choking. Click to expand.Yeah but freeze and flatten are affected by sidechain routing, and if you have a MIDI track connected to a separate VST/AU instrument track.
