Advantages of Upgrading

Unlimited Tracks, Scenes and I/O
With the full version of Ableton Live you will be able to take your projects to the next level with unlimited audio and MIDI tracks, unlimited Session View scenes and as many audio inputs and outputs as your hardware can handle.

Unlimited Effects and Instruments
The full version of Ableton Live allows you to use as many of Live's built-in instruments and effects as well as 3rd party VST and Audio Unit instruments and effects per project as your computer can handle.

Drum Racks editing
Live's Drum Rack feature streamlines beat production. The familiar drum pad interface lets you drag and drop samples, instruments and effects onto a pad and start triggering. Each pad has its own device chain and can be shown as a mixer channel in the Session View for easy mixing.

Rack Editing
Racks allow you to create and preserve complex instrument layers, splits or your favorite arrangement of effects settings. Create complex Racks of instruments and effects, and play them via a simplified control interface. Save your effects chains and instrument setups in your library for instant recall.

Even better Warp Modes
Live 8 and Suite 8 both provide two additional Warp Modes: Complex and Complex Pro. Complex Mode is specically designed for composite signals, combining the characteristics of the other Warp Modes. Great for warping entire songs, which usually contain beats, tones and textures. Complex Pro Mode offers even better results than Complex mode, as well as providing additional controls for adjusting precisely how a sample's tonal quality is preserved when it gets warped or transposed.

Slice audio to MIDI
Get even more out of your audio material with slicing. Slicing involves dividing the audio into small chunks and assigning each chunk to a single MIDI note. Not only for drum loops, slicing is a technique that can produce extraordinary and inspiring results from any kind of audio material.

Control external instruments and effects
The External Instrument and External Audio Effect devices are neither instruments or effects, but rather routing utilities that allow you to easily integrate hardware synthesizers, hardware effects processors, ReWire devices, virtual synthesizers and software plug-ins into your projects. Both allow you to control "external" devices from within Live's interface, which means improved visibility and less window-hopping.

Live's latest features and effects
The latest features are only available in the full versions of Live. In the current 8th generation, this starts with Looper, a sound-on-sound looping device that's not only for guitarists. Then there are five powerful new effects: Vocoder, Multiband Dynamics, Overdrive, Limiter and Frequency Shifter.

Movie Support
Live is perfect for matching music to picture—or vice versa. Elastic audio makes it easy to warp music to match the hit points or key frames of imported video—but you can also warp the video to match the music and export the results. In Live, video is just as elastic as audio.

Track Freeze
Even if things get a little heavy, with numerous tracks full of massive effects chains and virtual instruments, Live's freeze function keeps things flowing. Just deep freeze your track and retain the ability to experiment with editing, automation and more without unfreezing it.

And much more
The full version of Ableton Live 8 offers many more features to enhance your creative output. For a comparison between Live Intro, your edition of Live Lite and Ableton Live 8, please check this chart.
