Ableton Live 8 buy or not to buy? Hmmm tuff one here.

You're probably not going to ever come across a better deal on it than the one they have right now with the free upgrade to 9. There are seriously so many things you can do with Ableton that I really doubt you'll end up regretting it.

Come on -

I can't find it being sold new for more than $600.

The demo is a full working version of the software, for 30 days.

i suppose im thinking of Ableton Suite, which i mean as a produce dont you want? Its like $700 + taxes, thats and expensive startup for hobby which could become a paper weight if you dont like it. Correct me if im wrong but the demo is fully functional minus the ability to save, which really limits what you can do unless you sit down and write full tracks in one session.

I was talking about Suite, too. Suite is of course what a producer would prefer.

Its like $700 + taxes,

I don't know what to tell you. We'll have to just agree to disagree on the price at this point. The CAD to USD conversion is 1.00 to 1.00.

thats and expensive startup for hobby

Well, there are hobbies that are much more expensive, like safari, and much less expensive, like exercise.

which could become a paper weight if you dont like it.

One could always just sell it, no?

I believe that you are mistaken. I guess we'll just have to just agree to disagree.

If you can save files with the demo then, yeah, by all means the demo would be the best way to go. Honestly its been a while since i had the demo and i just cant remember at this point heh :P

That actually makes a lot of sense considering its like a $900 program. Thats pretty steep for someone who doesn't even really know if they are going to like it. Yeah you can get the demo but whats the point if you cant save anything and come back to work on it?

Yeah, it's a great bit of marketing if true.
