Ableton Live 10 Lite Digital Audio Software License EXPIRED

Quote from SumDuud : I was just talking to a music friend and he said that he didn't think this one had a save function but it is great for warping sounds, keeping things synced up, and making tracks. Regardless the price is right to grab it and play

It absolutely has a save function. I'm not sure if your friend was thinking of something else, or just isn't familiar with using a DAW.

Quote from SumDuud : For a light hobbyist is this a big step up from Audacity?

Yes, but as a hobbyist I would recommend trying out PreSonus Studio instead - I think it's a bit more straightforward and easier to use, and it's free.

But still get this, since this normally comes bundled with $100+ audio interfaces.

Quote from FancyTerrier197 : Not sure why this isnt more upvoted.

I'm not arguing with you, but there are a number of free DAWs that are very capable - I'm a fan of PreSonus Studio myself - and most people who are looking for a DAW probably already own an audio interface, and this and/or another comparable DAW comes bundled with every audio interface.

For example, the interfaces by PreSonus and Scarlett both come bundled with Ableton Live - along with PreSonus Studio Artist for PreSonus and Pro Tools First for Scarlett.

Quote from babygdav : 1. Cakewalk FULL version, totally free. https://www.bandlab.com/products/cakewalk 2. Pro Tools first https://my.avid.com/get/pro-tools-first Free. Industry standard for audio editing.

3. REAPER

Very low cost, very capable.

What the difference between this and the standard version?

in on thanks

Quote from HilariousManatee362 : It's one of the best... It's great for techno production. I like to use fruity because if the layout but everything is so much easier when you get a hang of everything in ableton. But if you don't know it idk why do you even need it. Ableton is one of the oldest and fine engineered software out there.

Are you new here? This site is built on people buying things they have no idea about!

Does anyone know if we can upgrade this version to suite and get ableton 11 for free when it comes out? They have a promo now where if you buy Ableton 10, you can upgrade to 11 for free when it is released.

Hmm, somehow I already had the Lite version in my account, but I'm not seeing any upgrade discounts to Standard at all :\

Quote from trs3 : Whats the catch?

The real catch aside from Splice and Ableton both asking you to create user accounts is that Splice hopes to sell you plugins for Ableton Live.

I'm not complaining about it--I have used Splice and Ableton Live Suite both for many years and like both. It's nice that they're giving away Live Lite for free to give some people who can't afford the rather large price tag for Live Standard.

Safest to ask Ableton directly. I have double-checked with them on various twisty/tricky promotions to make sure I'd get the free upgrade. Sometimes it depends on the path you take.

I think he was referring to the demo version of Live Standard. IIRC, that one locks the save feature.

For a free music creation tool (daw - digital audio workstation), Cakewalk. For more audio editing, tracks mixing etc - Pro Tools. Both are so powerful, most beginners will stare at the features and buttons for years and years.

...

Like any video editing program....RELAX!
They may seem complex, but a few YouTube beginner videos will have you going in no time.
Using a DAW isn't complex, which is why you've got kids mixing and making tracks on these.

Once you've learned a powerful daw, it's easy enough to move to another once you've gotten to a high level (ie. You are seriously recording, mixing, composing music for a living.). Then, it's up to specific features and needs that most beginners won't even know to look into.

Programs like Cakewalk and Pro Tools have been around decades, so there's hardly anything they can't do....

...

As for Ableton, yes, they've got a market in edm.
You can create edm in any good daw, but you can certainly look into this program if you've got an interest. Otherwise, keep in mind the lite version offered here has fewer daw features than cakewalk, so if you're learning to eventually be good at music composition and mixing, you'll hit a wall with free ableton sooner than you will with cakewalk - meaning $$ to upgrade to full ableton. (Whereas the full cakewalk is free.)

......

Now, if you happen to be in music creation, you usually need videos.

1. Windows Video editor.
Free, built in, does the basics well, easy to use.

2. Davinci Resolve
God mode in games?
This baby is the God Mode in Free video editors.
Power beyond belief for a free program, video, audio, effects, etc included.
As a single stand alone program, far more powerful than paid Adobe Premiere. You can edit indies and feature films on this baby alone.

3. Hitfilm Express
https://fxhome.com/hitfilm-express

All those special effects in CW tv shows like The Flash?

This baby is geared for that.
Virtual helicopters, gunfire, explosions, light sabers, etc etc - this is the free sfx video editor to look at.

4. Avid Media First
What does EVERY Hollywood blockbuster making over $500 million have in common?
They are cut ONLY ON AVID MEDIA COMPOSER. (And sound mixed almost always in Pro Tools)

You want a union job editing those movies making $$$?

Avid is THE ONLY PROGRAM you need to learn well because it's the only video editor used in such. (Indies and lesser films use everything out there; Big blockbusters only Avid).

Out for decades, everything beyond the kitchen sink, if it can't do it, don't expect anything else to kinda industry standard.

Between avid and blackmagic, avid is targeted to those learning to edit to become a professional editor. Avid split audio off to Pro Tools, and really don't focus on effects and such with either program.
Resolve is targeted to indies and lower cost films where you want 1 program that'll do video, audio, color, and effects editing in one. Blackmagic is trying to stuff in as many kitchen sinks as possible with every release knowing that on this lower end, the only big competitor is Adobe Premiere integrated with the other CC programs like after effects and Photoshop. But they don't care giving it away for free because they're selling broadcast hardware and monsters like the world's first 12K video camera.

Which of these, cakewalk, protools, reaper and abelton are good for recording and mixing podcasts? Adding effects etc

Quote from killerloop : Which of these, cakewalk, protools, reaper and abelton are good for recording and mixing podcasts? Adding effects etc

Pro tools.
All can record, all can mix....but they're digital audio workstations. Jack of all trades for music creating, editing, composing, etc.
Pro Tools geared for audio recording, editing, track mixing.

Pro tools is easy enough to set up and do multiple takes of lines, let you compare, insert the best into the final podcast, even replace single words with ease and quickly.

Nice benefit - if you get good at it, you can get hired for doing this and you already know what they'll likely be using - Pro Tools
