Accessibility Comments

Ableton has recently started taking accessibility very seriously, and it shows. Nearly everything is usable, from the plug-in interfaces to midi and audio editing. There are currently a few key areas that are being worked on, namely automation and Max for Live, a programming environment that allows users to create their own instrument, effect, and midi plug-ins for Ableton, as well as add their own features to the software. For a first release, what they've been able to achieve is extremely impressive. I would highly recommend anyone looking to get into music production or switch over from another DAW to give Live a shot.

Usability

There are some minor accessibility issues with this app, but they are easy to deal with.

Other Comments

The Ableton documentation is extremely thorough and I would highly recommend everyone go through the manual. They've also got some good accessibility documentation as well. Link to accessibility FAQ: https://help.ableton.com/hc/en-us/articles/11762577169948-Accessibility-in-Ableton-Live-FAQ

What's the price?

I didn't see a price anywhere.

There are multiple versions…

There are multiple versions of Live, Intro, Standard, and Sweet. Click on the "Buy now" link on the site to see the prices of each edition.

I did

I did click on the buy now link before posting to you here. When the page opened, I tried item chooser for dollar signs and found none.

I don't much care searching web pages line by line, and since I was writing to you, or to anyone else who has purchased the app, I figured it would be a lot faster and easier to simply ask. I see now I was wrong.

Intro is $99, Standard is …

Intro is $99, Standard is $439, and Sweet is $749. All prices are in US dollars. For future reference, after clicking on Buy now the various additions are delineated by heading. It's very easy to find prices for each addition. I was hesitant to post the info here because depending on what country you live in you're going to have different pricing, and I didn't want to cause any confusion. Hope that helps.

Thanks

That's helpful. Smile
