Ableton DAw is very easy to use as well it provides wide range of great build in presets and instruments. And with a bit of learning you have the freedom to create your own favourite instrument presets or mastering rack.And you can simply use it even without a gear recording notes straight from your computer keyboard. I use it since 2008 ableton v.7 . The DAW is one that one beginner can easy learn to use fast and produce its own music. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sound engine of Ableton i think needs bit of improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI is fantastic, and its so intuitive. Looping is seamless, and the integrated Push controller makes navigation easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ableton alone is capable enough to make any type of music through its amazing set of plugins and instruments. Ableton is the new choice of bedroom producers and high-level professionals. Ableton has all the features like quantize, midi mapping, plugin support, and the workflow are very easy and smooth. It has everything in it and can be used by all types of music producers and musicians.

I have been using Ableton for more than 5years and I have no complaints about the software. I tried many music software but none of them made it in my day to day use.

Ableton Live is capable enough for performing electronic music on the go. it is suitable for a small party and big DJ events as well. Ableton also supports world-class powerful plugins to take your music to the next level and here the next level means we are talking about industry-standard audio production work.

low specs pc or computer faces lots of load time as it is a powerful daw to do everything. Ableton live may seem costly to people who are just starting out as a beginner in the industry. It also has a free demo download available but one cannot export from the trial version. Ableton's theme and look is different from the other software one might find it uninteresting.

I love the midi capabilities of Ableton and it makes my production work very easy. It is easy to quickly get a hang of and plugins just work as a drah and drop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I hate most is the DAW's inability to find plugins properly and only work with one specific folder. It becomes a hassle to find and place all your plugins in one folder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Ableton designers anticipated features producers need throughout the songwriting process while leaving plenty of flexibility for individual approaches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ableton feels slightly more difficult to use on a PC than Mac. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ableton Live has so much creative potential buried in its unassuming layout. The stock effects and instruments are incredibly diverse and sound wonderful. In addition, this software has a tremendous amount of workflow optimizations via keystrokes, interface, and routing options. Not only will you be able to create virtually anything you want with Ableton and its stock tools, but your productivity will increase exponentially as you learn all the features it has to offer.

The only criticism I can really give Ableton Live is that there are some features I would love to create automations for that are currently unable to do so. Specifically, I would like to see richer automation options for manipulating and warping waveforms in real time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
