Luckily Ableton offers multiple upgrade paths from Lite to Standard and from Lite to Suite. If you need to use more than 8 audio and/or MIDI tracks in your project, the Lite version won't be enough for you and you need to upgrade. Unlike the Standard and Suite versions of Ableton Live, the Lite version has some basic limitations that might limit you in your music creation journey.

MIDI Sequencing: Yes (both software and hardware)Īs you can see, most of the foundation features of Ableton Live are still supported in Lite.

Non-destructive Editing: Yes (unlimited undo's).

Supported Audio Formats: Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, MP3, WAV and AIFF.

Audio Warping: Yes, and Live Stretching.Multitrack Recording: Up to 32-bit 192 kHz.The Lite version supports VST and Audio Unit (Mac only) plugins as usual, Track Freeze, automation programming, non-destructive editing, group track arrangements and Live's flexible audio warping. The famous Session View is there, just like the ability to record multiple tracks in 192 kHz sample rate and 32 bit depth. Even though this is a Lite version of Ableton Live, the software is still tightly packed with the features that make Ableton Live what it is.
