The new effects comprise Phaser-Flanger, a modulation effect that's also capable of producing short delays Limiter, a brickwall-type dynamic range processor and Saturator, which Ableton describe as a вЂњwaveshaping distortion for adding dirt, punch and warmthвЂќ. The update, which follows last year's announcement of v11 of the full-fat Live, adds comprehensive support for MPE, a number of new effects, an increased number of Scenes (users can now add up to 16 per Session), and the ability to lock to the tempo of an audio or MIDI stream in real time. Currently, Live 9 Lite features 2 instruments, 11 audio effects, 8 MIDI effects, drum, effect and instrument racks, 8 tracks total, 8 scenes, 2 return tracks, 4 mono audio channels in (and 4 out).Live Lite, the entry-level version of Ableton's innovative loop-based DAW, has been updated to version 11. There are key features it doesnвЂ™t include, such as Max For Live, video import, grooves, and the external instrument device. If youвЂ™re not a Push user, Lite and Intro also have LiveвЂ™s usual control surface support, so itвЂ™s easy to use any control surface thatвЂ™s supported with LiveвЂ™s Instant Mapping, or to use MIDI Map Mode to create custom assignments.Д®xactly how stripped-down are these versions, and how do they differ from each other? Well, currently theyвЂ™re more different than usual, because Live Intro is up-to-date with version 10, while Lite is still at 9, as stated earlier.ДЄs it goes right now, Live 10 Intro features 2 instruments, 21 audio effects, 8 MIDI effects, drum, effect, and instrument racks, 16 tracks total, 8 scenes, 2 return tracks, 4 mono audio channels in (and 4 out), and the Chop And Swing and Loopmasters Mixtape Live Packs. Push can access every control on Simpler, so you can record, browse, load, and chop samples directly from the hardware, and it looks great on the colourful Push 2 display.Д®ven without further expansion, Push and Simpler combine to make a powerful production and performance instrument. During the life span of Live 9, Simpler has turned into quite a little monster, with slicing modes, new filters, and the ability to retain warp markers on any clips that are loaded. Intro features racks and effects of course, but the most critical component as far as Push goes, is Simpler.

Combining Push and SimplerД«uying Push gets you a licence for Intro as well.

Intro is now 64-bit only, and Lite will probably follow soon, so a lot of older unsupported free plug-ins wonвЂ™t work anymore.

Lite and Intro arenвЂ™t fully loaded with instruments and effects, but theyвЂ™re compatible with AU and VST plug-ins, so you can take full advantage of the many plug-ins from other providers. You can add more content in the form of Live Packs, and all of LiveвЂ™s instruments are available as individual purchases.

They both latch into the Ableton ecosystem either one puts you on the upgrade path to fuller editions of Live. Lite is slightly more restricted and only available with authorisation from a third party product purchase, while Intro is available as a full separate purchase, or included with Push. Live Intro and Lite are both limited versions, but theyвЂ™re not the same. Hopefully this will clear up some confusion about the different versions and encourage any non-users reading this to wonder if maybe theyвЂ™ve got a version of Lite already, or remember that they registered it long ago but havenвЂ™t got round to using it! Understanding your options Over the years, LiteвЂ™s been packaged with all kinds of controllers and interfaces currently, youвЂ™ll find it bundled with products from names such as Arturia, Novation, Focusrite and Korg.
