General
You probably got the Live Lite OEM version of Ableton with the purchase of another product, such as a controller, that came with Live Lite. It’s a heavily stripped-down version of the full Ableton software, but offers just enough to give you an idea of the kind of potential the full software offers. If you’ve been working with the Lite version for a while, there’s a good chance that you’re ready for more. That’s exactly what you’ll get with the Ableton Live 9 Suite upgrade. This upgrade turns any version of Live OEM into a full-fledged Ableton Live 9 Suite, so prepare yourself for a bit of culture shock!
The upgrade
Going from the smaller Lite version to the big leagues is like waking up on Christmas morning to a tree full of presents with your name on them. It comes with an impressive 54 GB of samples that will render your creative boundaries virtually non-existent. Three-thousand sounds, from orchestras to vintage synths, and from pianos to drums, are all placed right at your fingertips. You get extra instruments, extra audio effects, and unlimited MIDI and audio tracks, as well as Max for Live. Max for Live is an alluring package if you love fine-tuning, and it offers an expansive module system so you can construct your own synthesizers and effects. It just takes some practice, and you’ll be creating your own unique musical equipment that perfectly suits your individual style.
