The intro is pretty good for beginners, I learned a lot from it and you won’t get as overwhelmed. I think it’s worth giving it a try. I’m saving up to get the higher version now
You know what I like about this video...it's the fact that you actually listed all the equipment you use and the links where to get them...very useful for someone who is already in the field and just looking to upgrade
Thank you for your good video! I'm Korean student. But there's no information about Ableton. So I didn't decide what version is good for me. But now I decide! Thank you, thank you :D
Great video btw! Tiny tip: may be worth setting your camera to manual focus once you've set it up for the distance of your face as it seems to be continuously trying to focus :)
Thank you I will go with intro since I'm a songwriter and I have electric guitars and acoustic plus bass guitar and keys that will leave me a good 8 to 10 tracks for drums and vocals and will get me some time underthehood before I invest more coin. Thank you 😊
currently 30% off all versions at the moment so a great time to buy can practically get suite for the price of standard, expires on the 20th may as well
Hi there. I'm a vocalist and had Garage Band years ago. Now I have a pc laptop. I'm in a lyric-writing phase and essentially want to lay some backing beats/strings/vocals. I'm leaning toward the Ableton Live 10 Intro. Is there anything comparable within a similiar price point? Thanks!
If you buy today you get 20% off and a free upgrade to 11. There are other apps out there. If you're familiar with garage band logic might be easier for you to learn on Mac.
I'm half tempted to wait for a sale, grab standard, get to grips with it (again, it's been a while since I last used it!) then upgrade to suite when I'm ready. It seems Standard + Suite upgrade = similar price to Suite? 10 Standard: 349 eur 10 Suite: 599 eur 10 Standard + 10 Suite upgrade: 349 eur + £266 = 649eur (possibly a bit less, I can't seem to find the prices online unless you actually have it on your account)?
I'm just worried if I'll miss having all the sounds that I already get with the trial version when I get the intro version (I know I definitely will *not* get the others because I just make music for myself, and don't want anything more out of it.) Also, I'm not that good at using software like this, so I don't really understand what a lot of the terms for the features mean (I know stuff like reverb, gain, stuff like that. One thing I don't understand exactly is what sounds are, because it says I get 1500 sounds with the intro version but when I look at the trial version, which is equivalent to suite, i might have 100 at most. Sorry if that was a head squeeze to read.
HI, Have a Roland Keyboard. I like to be able to improvise a piece on the keyboard and record it into a midi file. Can Ableton software do this and which version. Thanks and much appreciated if you can reply my query.
For People Interested in Live 10 Intro I would recommend looking into live 10 Lite because its a better value it's very similar to Intro but comes free with some audio interfaces and things of that such
@@DJCouchKing but lets say you buy a 100 dollar audio interface and it comes with lite. then you get ableton and an audio interface. lite is a much better deal than intro. i personally use suite
Hi, i don't know if you still read the comments of a video which came out 2 years ago but i'm actually a french student with some good basics in music and guitar, so i downloaded the trial version of ableton live and i actually love it ! I made my first (finished) instrumental minimalist song on it ( now that i have a nice daw to record and mix myself). But i wonder if going into an other style of production should be possible even with the intro version when my trial expires. I'm afraid the limitations of tracks and slicing audio would be limiting. Also i would not have access anymore to effects that i often use like the EQ. Do you think i can still record and mix a complete song even with the intro version of ableton or should i consider the standard version eventhough the price is kind of high ? Thx a lot for you videos anyway, keep that up
Thanks for laying out all the differences. They’re all up on the website but I enjoy hearing personal opinions on them to help the average person. Did I hear some dilla drums in there??
I'm thinking about buying Ableton Live 10 Standard. On ableton.com it's telling me to buy the upgrade with the cheaper price, but I've never paid for a version of Ableton Live such as Live 10 Intro, since I have the Lite version. Also the option to buy Live 10 Intro is grayed out. Is this upgrade going to work, is it safe to buy, will it just not work and make me lose my money?
Hi! Do you think standard will be good enough for me? I can’t afford suite but I already have a few plugins (vital , which is a wavetable). Looking to make electronic music but also stuff for school work.
I’m currently thinking upgrading. Standard is around $200 cause get a discount from ableton 9. But suite is $750. Is the suite worth the extra price? I have a lot of plugins too like massive and serum etc. and a lot of loops.
Suite comes with some great instruments and effects. Wavetable and Operator are both awesome, and the amp effect too. If you have a student ID you can get a discount on Suite also.
If you buy a MIDI Controller or Audio Interface, check the details, some come with Ableton Live 10 Lite. I got a $60 M-Audio MIDI controller with Live Lite. It’s the same as Intro.
DJ Couch King Correct. I just read that after reading your comment. Dang, I should’ve just went for Intro. I adjusted A LOT to making beats in 8 tracks, imagine with 16. Im looking to upgrade with their COVID-19 special that they’re running. Most likely Standard since I really just need to unlock the limited tracks. I mostly mix using Waves and iZotope. I create mostly using Native Instruments and Arturia.
DJ Couch King I miss that. I use to have a pirated version. But I’m going legit now. Never realized how much it is. But I’m determined to get back in. Legal.
hi DJ, I'm a biginner in using abeleton and I'm deciding between Standard and Suite. I will be using other midi as push later on and record acoustic songs mix and master or create beats. Is standard good enough?. really need help in deciding thank you
Standard is a a great place to start. Suite comes with more sounds effects and instruments but you can get lots of free VSTs to fill in the gaps. You can always upgrade to Suite later on.
You can buy the amp effect separately. You don't have to buy the entire suite if you'll only need that effect. I would recommend getting Standard and buying Ableton's Amp/Cabinet effects separately or even going with Native Instruments Guitar Rig as a plugin for Ableton.
£239 in England for standard. I'm just starting out, so not sure which one to go for. Does google flag your music tracks as its going on tube for myvideos, hopefully.
Yeah Ableton Standard or Suite would be great for that. Suite if you don't want to have to buy plugins. But you can always upgrade from Standard. 11 is coming out soon.
I currently have standard and I realise that I don't really need it. I hardly ever have more than 6 tracks and I mostly use plug ins from my Native Instruments library.
Do you know if there is a substitute if no cutting clips in intro? And do you know how different intro is compared to the trial? I’m just trying to get the most for the 100$ because it’s a big jump to the next, would there be a point in getting an older version to get more and pay the same? Or is that not good? Last cant you download more audio samples or instruments or what have you online? If you have intro? Thanks and if you need to message me that’s fine. Trying to decide asap
Hey my friend. Is there a downside to using the student discount? I heard that the edu license only lasts while you're in school and that you cant copyright or sell the music you make with that. Is that true?
No, I don't know where you heard that but that's definitely not true. You just need a valid school ID to send to Ableton to verify you're an active student when you activate it. The only mission I know of is that you might now be eligible for upgrade pricing to future versions. I'm not 100% on that but you can check the website.
@@DJCouchKing Dude thank you so much for getting back to me. No one has been able to clarify that for me, and if there is no downside (other than possibly not being able to upgrade) I'm just gonna go with that. Also, even with the student discount, it says you can get a free upgrade to 11 when it comes out.
I have a JUNO DS-88 synthesizer with around 1,200 sounds of many different varieties. Could this make up for lacking the added plug-ins that Suite would provide over Standard?
Hi I have a question. Does Ableton intro not allow you to turn audio into a midi instrument? Or does it just not let you turn the audio into midi notes?
I cut up a break sample and added the bass line and other sounds to give it that kind of 90s breakbeat jungle feel. Don't remember which break I used exactly but was a long time ago. 😅
i got only 1 question, so users of ableton 9 that purchasade they can upgrade to 10 any time? is it (Lifetime Free Updates) ?? or in each version i need purchase new packages? pls someone if can help on this answer
If you own Live 9 you will get a discounted price on upgrading to Live 10. It's not a free update. Incremental updates are free though. (I.e. 10-10.1 etc,)
@@DJCouchKing thank you, hope at least people from live 9 can get a good discount tho, i'm thinking of buying the live 10 suit at the moment, but in any case i just ask because if there will be live 11 or so in future i can be prepared bro. thank you again for reply. Btw upgrade from Ableton 9 suit is extra 229$ to Ableton 10 suit, there's the history of updates too : Live 1.0 30 October 2001 Live 1.5 28 April 2002 Live 2.0 22 December 2002 Live 3 10 October 2003 Live 4 28 July 2004 Live 5 24 July 2005 Live 6 29 September 2006 Live 7 29 November 2007 Live 8 2 April 2009 Live 8.2 22 September 2010 Live 8.3 2 April 2012 Live 9 5 March 2013 Live 9.2 29 June 2015 Live 9.5 2 November 2015 Live 10 6 February 2018 Live 10.1 28 May 2019 Hope people that had same question will find this answers helpful same as i did. Stay well Alex and keep doing a great job as u do and doing stuff for free, people needs it, specially this days.
Are you allowed to have someone thats currently a student buy it for you? If so would they have to register it under their name or is the ID just to buy it and you get your code to use just like you would had it been bought at full price?
DJ Couch King ah I see so if I had someone just use their ID to buy a full version, the only thing they’d be using their ID for was actually buying the software? After that the ID wouldn’t be needed and it would just be a normal full version of ableton?
I have a good understanding about Abelton but haven't really worked with it since a lot so would u please tell me if the standard is gonna work for me with the help of plugins or is the suite worth it?
It depends on what you're doing. Suite is worth it if you're doing music production using mostly MIDI and effects. Standard is a great option though and you can always upgrade to Suite.
Hey! 😊 I was just wondering if intro would be good for me since I'm just doing all this for fun and I just want to remix and learn this stuff, never done it before and just want to make remixes of popular songs, also will I be able to put this onto RU-vid when I'm done creating a remix? And what does send and return tracks mean? And if u still reading this lmao what does mono audio input and output channels mean? Thanks in advance!! 🥰 To be specific on one kind of remixes, I want to try bootleg/shuffle remixes.
Live Intro is a great place to start. Standard and Suite can be overwhelming for a beginner. If you plan on remixing popular songs RU-vid might take them down for copyright reasons. You could probably get away with posting them on Instagram or SoundCloud if they're different enough from the orginal. Send tracks make a copy of the audio signal and route it to a return track so you can put effects on it. Mono is one audio channel, stereo is two channels (left and right). Hope this helps!
So while i decided what DAW i want to start using, I picked up intro. So i only get 4 inputs, and outputs? I couldn't even close mic an entire drum kit?, let alone play over a "drumless track" to record a drum cover?
@@DJCouchKing Sadly it doesn't. I bought it. GC pro audio by me are a bunch of scammers. Tascam should update the firmware, but not being usb c, maybe they can't? Do you know of any DAW that can sync audio and video?
Such a shame intro doesn't have the audio slice feature. I'm guessing that means any file you import cannot be cut up? You just have to use it as it is?
Hey, so you can save projects with Ableton live intro right? Just wondering because I'm using the lite version and you cant but am looking into buying intro.
Yes, but you should be able to save with Lite as well. To my knowledge the only time you can't is if you open a project that was created in standard or suite and contains devices you don't have a license for.
When i try using files of covers like kaskobi's, most of them tell me i need max for live. Which version of ableton live do i need to work with these projects?
Intro comes with the Complex mode now, so it should work well for edits. For remixes you'll want standard or Suite for the extra instruments and effects.
Can anyone tell me which 8 midi effects are included in standard? Also which 12 additional audio effects that come with suite? Thinking of buying it but only used suite before so wanna know which ones I will/won't be getting
@@christianvega9469 Or you can get a MIDI Keyboard (like the Novation Launchkey Mini). You get a good tool to make music, and these come with a serial number for Ableton Live Lite 10.
You can either hold down a modifier key when record arming multiple tracks (Ctrl on PC, CMD on Mac) or you can go into preferences > record/warp/launch and disable exclusive record arming.
NOOOO!!!! Bad advice. If you only starting and wants to see if Ableton is right for you ...go with Lite version. Its free and gives you a taste of how is the Ableton enviroment. Not a lot of features ...but is the version that tells you...hey...this is how I work see if it fits your workflow. Then analyze how many tracks you usually record and need. And I said USUALLY...bcuz ive seen ppl getting a $400 daw and only use it for no more than 16 tracks all the time. Like a song writing artist ....a drummer who records himself and sent the files to another ppl. A guitar player who uses loops when recording 5 or 6 guitar tracks normally and uses only virtual amps or mic the cabinets. No further processing ITB...Yeah. In that case lite version is a perfect option. Now if you decided you need more tracks ...busses...sends...and all the good things about a complete ordinary daw but not into samplers , synths and crazy mixing stuff...then go with Standard. If gives you the flexibility of mixing and entire track without the distractions of Ableton's craziness (which im not saying its bad thing). If you want go crazy and you into all the modular stuff...and synths ...all that...then spend your money. You want the best of the best? Its not free. The more you want the more you spend ..its a fact.
Track count is not the only thing to take into consideration. I would recommend standard for a recording artist mostly because of the effects that come with it. Even if you only use 16 tracks, if you plan to distribute the music yourself you should have some professional mixing tools. Also, Lite is only free if you buy something that comes with it, so it's not really free. Thanks for watching.
@@DJCouchKing Good point ...but it depends what you call " professional tools" . Cuz it sounds more like its the only thing will make it work. I used to record and mix using a tascam 2488 and my only tools were a 3 band eq and a master compressor. Those werent professional tools...The eq didnt even had a hp filter. But clients were very happy with the finished product. You know why? Cuz I knew what they wanted and how to get there doing a good arrangement and placing every instrument on its place frequency wise. So in reality was me...not the "professional tools".
Ableton is great for sequencing and sampling, but for recording live instruments like bass and guitar it's definitely not the best. Logic, Cubase and Pro Tools are a bit more difficult to learn but make it a lot easier to record multiple takes and switch between them. They can all sequence MIDI with plugin instruments too.
You can record any kind of music into Ableton Live. Although, personally, I think Pro Tools, Logic or Cubase are better suited for recording live vocals.
hello sir.. can you help me please.. I have the live 10 intro and I’m trying to slow a fast song from 137 bpm to 127 .. how shall I do it right so it won’t forge the project?
hi .. its just an audio file that i am trying to slow down ..i must say that before i bought this live intro 10 project ,i try the full version of live 10 for one mounth and there i have not had any proplem .. i cant remember which the opthioni put it on there when i slowed tracks over there ,but here at hte live 10 intro i do not get the same resolts .. thank you so much for your help sir
Drop the audio file in the timeline in arrangement view, set the clip to the original tempo in the clip editor, activate warping in complex mode, adjust the master tempo of the live set and the audio file will follow. Then go to file and export audio/video to create a new audio file at the desired tempo. Complex will give the best results, but also use the most CPU. Most computers should be able to handle it just fine if it's only one stereo audio file.
Unfortunately you'll need at least standard for that. You should be able to route MIDI out to external hardware in intro, you'll just have to use separate audio and MIDI tracks.
@@DJCouchKing what is an external midi device? like a midi keyboard? im a little confused. let me just ask this, is there a way to record drums with a midi controller in Intro? i just got intro last night and ive put together a quick song, but i want to do more with the drums without having to click them in and manually move them around. i noticed most of the stock drum sounds aren't midi or cant be routed to midi tracks. what does this mean, and can i import my own drum kit into ableton and also use it with a midi controller?
@@graphicscard you can use any MIDI controller to record drums or whatever in Intro. What I'm referring to is a specific instrument in Live called "External Instrument." That only comes with Standard and Suite. You don't need it for what you're doing.
