Digidesign on Monday announced that it will soon add Ableton Live Lite 4 Digidesign Edition to every Pro Tools TDM and LE music production environment. A free update from Live 2 Digidesign Edition is available for registered owners at the Ableton Web site. While Live Lite 4 is a feature-limited version of the full Live 4 music recording and mixing software, it adds functionality not present in the previous version of the Digidesign Edition, including better control of volume, pitch and timing, new audio and MIDI effects and more.
Digidesign offers a discounted upgrade path to the full version of Live 4; contact the company for more details. Live Lite 4 is part of the developer’s Music Production Enhancement Suite, which also includes Propellerhead Software’s Reason Adapted and IK Multimedia’s SampleTank SE, AmpliTube LE and T-RackS EQ.
