JOHN MALIS  Version 8.0.8 fixes some issues I had with my Akai APC40.

Finally we have a stable and usable version.

Tops.  
(Version 8.0.8)

LANDI TRANCE  That's wonderful , thank you very much .   
(Version 8.0.5)

XK13  This is the best app ever!

It is the most versatile program for producing any kind of music and they have a really good and fast support.  
(Version 8.0.4)

JILL PAT  For me this is clearly the best DAW ever made.

Interface is very intuitive ones you are used to it.

(Version 8.0.4)

THREEDEE912  The Photoshop of audio. Not much else to say. Lots of great features, but you have to know what you are doing to get the most out of it.  
(Version 8.0.4)

KILLER KLOWN KAR  Been waiting awhile for this. Bought the Suite 8 yesterday, will install and config this weekend. All I can say is very rarely does something come along that changes a paradigm, Live has done that. On the Mac the "competition" is Logic of course. But to me Live sounds better (Logic always sounds "squashed" to me) and has a much more fluid way of creation. Incredibly good and worth every penny.   
(Version 8.0.1)

JPINNIX  Powerful and easy to use. I own Logic and Reason too, but Live is the one I use the most.  
(Version 6.0.1)

AJ  What can't be said about Live?

its perhaps the most versatile application for producing, performing, remixing, and even DJing music in the last 5 years.

and its only going to get better.

4.1 includes the new "Operator" FM Synth.

to describe Operator in a word: Powerful.

STANLEE  use audio any way you want:  
(Version 4.0.4)

ANONYMOUS  what's with ableton not providing release notes... even if they don't get into too much detail, it's always nice to have at least a general idea of what's been fixed/updated/changed/etc.  
(Version 4.0.4)

SUBFACE  Such a GREAT upgrade! now with the soft synth support Live does everything i need - no more need for a purely linear sequencer like Cubase or Logic.

Totally brilliant. Thanks Ableton!  
(Version 4.0.1)

ANONYMOUS  This is one incredibly brilliant audio application. Please consider adding AU support.

It's so annoying that the release notes are never published though. It seems that v3.04 sound quality is improved after what appears to be a regression in v3.03  
(Version 3.0.4)

ANONYMOUS  This software is, as we say in the industry, "The Cat's A**". I have used many types of creative programs of this type on Macs and PC's and this one goes to the top of the list!   
(Version 3.0.2)

ANONYMOUS  I'm still using 2.x, but Live is the most creative fun I've ever had on a computer. I don't understand that "veteran"'s review, but I suppose Live does not resemble the last 20 years of ponderous, limiting traditional music software. But numerous industry reviews confirm that Live is easier and more powerful than Acid or Soundtrack. And it does not crash. I'm saving up for version 3.  
(Version 3.0.2)

ANONYMOUS  This application made me happy that I could stop running Acid on a PC. I'm finally able to play with loops in a much better way than acid ever allowed me to. (plus I get to do it on my mac!) Comparing this to Soundtrack? No question, Live is WAY better with a lot more options for composing. I don't see how a 20 year 'seasoned professional' would make such a silly sounding comment.  
(Version 3.0.2)

SEYMOUR LANDERS  Live 3.0 sucked. It didn't do anything it said it was supposed to do, and I'm a seasoned professional with 20 years experience.

Its a piece of junk, not worth buying.  
(Version 3.0.1)

ANONYMOUS  Beta is working great. Still torn as to whether to buy Live or Soundtrack -- both are slick, but a bit pricey.
