Ableton Live Suite 8 Free?

[Jarrah]

Hey guys,

I know it is bad to download great programs such as Ableton for free illegally, usually I would support the makers of the program but I don't have $800 spare at the moment. Anyway as guilty as I feel, I gave it a go, but I am trying to run the program on mac and it isn't seeming to work, I tried using a program called WineBottler to make the program run on Mac but I have been having problems with that too. I guess it serves me right

Just wondering if anyone has downloaded Ableton Live Suite 8 for Free on Mac before and if so could you please help me out!

Thanks!

No one on this forum is going to discuss how to get pirated software to work.

Sorry bud

[Jarrah]

Thanks Cupe

Fair call, I notice the price between the Ableton Live 8 and Live 8 suite is dramatic, Do I need Live 8 Suite? Walk me through it I think I am going to have to purchase this software, and sorry I don't usually download pirated stuff, it is just the $800... if it was $300 it would be a different story,

Thanks

Suite just comes with a heap of samples and lessons and a few other things

[Jarrah]

Do you get a lot of samples with Live 8 anyway? Is suite worth the extra $400?

Thanks Guys

You can probs get alot of free samples and shit for it anyway

Also, try downloading the demo versions, most of the time they're a full version for free for like 2 weeks or some shit

im also not one that supports pirated software and such but to be totally honest, i dont think you'll really need suite. as long as you got the full issue software, you can grab samples anywhere across the web - free and paid! i dont use abelton so im not sure if the suite has samples or not but if it does i would pass on that for now and get it later on once you can affort it

^suite is good when you're used to ableton but you wont need it to get going and can always add it later.

suite is extra samples and loops but also some instruments and effects which are pretty cool. Thing is there is plenty on the standard ableton for you to get to know how it works. Rem this: ableton earnt their rep for version 4/5 and the current basic 8 has more than either of them already.

IMO: pay for the regular ableton, you may discover you prefer to record/source your own samples and use vst plugins anyway.

[Jarrah]

Alright I think I will get grab the basic 8 and yeah record/source my own samples

Thanks for all the help everyone!

Just looked at prices on Store DJ,

I was pretty surprised to see that they were similarly priced

I might save up a little longer and go straight to Suite

If you are starting from scratch why not go for ableton intro for now, you can get used to it while you save up to upgrade to 8?
