Ableton has announced a Special Offer for Sonic Foundry Acid software owners.
Acid Pro and Acid Music Owners (Version 2.0 or higher) can buy LIVE 2 at a discount during the month of June. Go to: www.ableton.com/acidspecialoffer, download the order form and send it to Ableton together with the original document showing the Acid serial number or bring the original document showing the Acid serial number to a local dealer and purchase Live for EUR 229 (MSRP).
This offer from Ableton does not require Acid users to stop using their old software. Now Acid users can take their loop-based productions right to the stage for LIVE performance.
"A lot of the musicians working at Ableton have been using versions of Acid before LIVE was released," says Rutger de Groot, Commercial Director at Ableton. "One thing we always hear from these users is that they are excited by the fact that they are now able to bring their compositions 'to life', by rebuilding them (with the same loops) in LIVE. In LIVE the song can be 'played' and improvised with, rather than just being a fixed composition. One can now take its songs on stage and perform them."
Introduced in 2001, LIVE is an audio sequencer to be played like an instrument in live performance, LIVE 2 offers enhancements to the performance and jamming features of the original software and also adds multi-track recording and editing with "Elastic Audio" and "Tempo Magic".
