Can you use every samples on Ableton live 8? I have purchased Ableton live 8 and i have installed it (and the library) but when i go through some of the sample it says its not available on this version of live and i have to check the lincense (I have updated it to live 8.2.6 and i have completed the license). Do i need to have Suite to use them all or?

@WieldMyWord It sounds like you're encountering locked racks - these are Racks which use Instruments and/or Effects that you do not currently own. You can use these Racks and tweak the Macros, but cannot open them up to edit them.

Can this rewire with reason 5?

[AbletonInc]

@SoundlessSonata yes - make sure you start Live up first, then ReWire from Reason into Live.

I have a problem with Ableton Live 8, I accidentally deleted the library folder and now I don't have any sounds. Can anybody help me here ?

[AbletonInc]

@SymphonicSequence try repairing the Library, under Preferences->Library. If that doesn't work, you can download Live again for free at ableton[dot]com/latest-version­s

@delascantinasrey have you tried looking at ableton[dot]com/shop?

[UrbanLikwid]

@DjUfoLights Ableton will not come with what you need. It is a sequencer with affects (for the most part). If you buy the whole Suite it will come with some synths you could tweak out and get your hardstyle or techno sound. I suggest buy Ableton and download samples and VSTs to get the sound you are looking for. But Ableton is the best foundation wouldn't suggest anything else.

Ableton Live is AMAZING, but it still misses some important things like:

*64-bit

*Comping (groups are very usefull, but having the comping feature would be even better)

*Dual screen (despite the point of the software is to be focused on one screen, but having the option would be very nice)

*EVEN better browser (options to better organize samples, loops, instruments, fx inside Live, like more "folders" on the left of Live)

Anyway, great DAW, it's clear that version 9 will be THA software!

Is this a 64-bit DAW?

[DjUfoLights]

so im new to ableton, im using mac, i use protools, im wanting to create hardstyle techno and a few other electronic genres, i was wondering what stock sounds it comes with and if they would be good for those genres, or will i end up having to download more sound packs?
