USD $337 in a limited offer for the Standard Version, new purchase. My wallet cried a little. Just a little, because I already tried using it and it wasn't for me.
This leaves the $700+ plus one then, right? My wallet started to cringe now... Seriously though: I visited the comparison pages between the versions and the most complete one seems too good to be true. Maybe that justifies the price.i'm not sure I would recommend the standard version myself, it is a nice DAW by itself, but its the toolset and racking possibilities that get me wet lol

you can get it for €449 now (today only perhaps?), which google tells me is ~$475
worth every penny! and you should get the v10 update for almost peanuts, allot less than the full price will be i'm sure
will need to upgrade laptop for this it think,
anyone recommend a system?
can ableton run with Linux.. always wanted linux
Dell XPS 15 with i7 quad, 16GB ram and SSD, Ableton runs beautifully, my workstation is similar specs but a full desktop CPU (4Ghz i think), and it also runs great
CPU is more important than ram once you hit 8GB, so rather than upping the ram, go for higher CPU, should be at least a Haswell, or later
always wanted a dell.. shame i missed that black friday shit lol
Haswell?
So they finally added time-stretching to Simpler, but still no option to change root note
haswell is "5th generation", skylake is 6th, etc, you want at least Haswell so you get multi-threading, means the processor will handle twice as many threads as it has cores (one synth will use one thread, for eg, of course you can use many more synths than just 8, coz its more complicated than that)
what do you mean? just transpose it...
Samplers always default to C on the piano roll, it can get confusing when thats not the pitch of the sample you are working with.
I know the Sampler in Ableton Suite lets you change the root note, not sure why they won't add it in Simpler.
coz they want you to buy the full Sampler in Suite lol which is actually far more powerful than Simpler
although its worth learning how to adjust the pitch manually tbh, the more you do it, the easier it becomes, and there are lots of other areas that you need it (eg dropping samples straight onto the time line)
Yeah I do often transpose samples in the timeline, but its annoying having to do that to write a melody with a sample tho.....I'd much rather just draw in the midi notes in Simpler.
