(More customer reviews)I bought Suite 8 to use mainly as a production tool but due to a power surge, my DJ mixer got fried. I had just bought a house and Live 8 was already a big purchase so I was going to be in trouble when it came time to make mixes for my college radio show. Turns out Live is a tool that I have always wanted. I started playing wth Tension etc. and found every one of them to be more than impressive for sound design but what really blew me away is how Live makes it possible to make blends that are technically impossible. If I have an idea, 99% of the time I can make it happen. As a college radio DJ, I have complete freedom to play whatever I want so anything goes. I actually mixed En Vogue's "Never Gonna Get It" with Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots Are Made For Walking" seamlessly which would be impossible with just the standard DJ setup. The best part is, when I do replace my mixer I can split up the tracks and actually cut them up myself with Serato. With "The Bridge" on the horizon, Live will probably become as essential as a turntable for me as a DJ. I know a few DJ's who think the digital revolution is bad and makes it so anyone can become a DJ, but really it depends on your level of creativity. If you want to just mix records and "Flash", you don't need this but if you want to do the impossible and flip intros and songs around on the fly....
I recently upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard which was causing Live and Garage Band to crash but within 2/12 days and three emails, Abletons tech support was able to solve the problem for both!!! This problem was related to Melodyne needing to be updated and I couldn't find any info on the internet. Excellent tech support!!!!
I can't wait until I have more time to delve into the real meat of the program but from what I've seen so far, I'll be blown away many times over. If you decide to get it, my only advice is to watch a tutorial on youtube, try it in Live and then go back and forth until it sinks in. Live has an initially confusing layout, but it becomes second nature quickly. Don't be intimidated.
