That means you buy the software once and can use it perpetually without paying again. Second, in the face of so-called “agile” software development practices that have in turn spawned app stores and the regular update cycles we’re all accustomed to on our phones and tablets these days, and in the face of increasingly popular (but consumer-hostile) subscription-based business models, the company steadfastly sticks to a traditional model, what software people call a “perpetual-license” model. First, that they seem to take a very slow, deliberate approach to releasing software. I credit the good folks at Ableton for a couple of things. Could it possibly have been three years since Live 10 was released? It had been five years at that point since Live 9 was kicked out of the nest. Indeed, Live’s so-called Session View was the “different approach” that finally unlocked my brain and enabled me to successfully make my first forays into music production.įast forward to the last time I reviewed Ableton Live: 2018. The year was 2004, and the software was Ableton Live, which had just had its fourth version released. It just doesn’t seem that long ago that after unsuccessfully trying for years to make electronic music, I decided to try a new piece of software out of Germany that held promise for a different approach. It’s said that time flies when you’re having fun, and boy, how it flies.
