already eyeing the Standard version
GroovedT 20.06.2025
Ableton Live Intro is a dope starting point for anyone diving into music production. It’s got enough tools to keep you hyped, with slick effects and a workflow that lets you mess around without getting stuck. The track limit and missing pro features can be a bit of a buzzkill, but for 66 euro , it’s a steal for making tracks you can vibe with. I’m already eyeing the Standard version, but Intro’s holding it down for now!

The best DAW for live performance
tntchn 17.04.2026
Had used Ableton Live for several years. I recently started a new musical instrument design project, and Ableton Live is definitely one of the best software to work with my instrument. Will continue to use Ableton to play music.
