Comping is when you can take multiple recordings of the same section of your song without having to stop and arm a new track. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Comping is available on Ableton Live 11 Intro, Ableton Live 11 Standard, and Ableton Live 11 Suite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ableton Live Suite&rsquo;s Software Instruments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the advantages of the Suite edition is that it comes fully packed with Ableton&rsquo;s virtual instruments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These do not come standard with the Intro or Standard editions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Ableton&rsquo;s stock instrument rack may not look sexy, they are powerful and are very friendly to your CPU (unlike some external plugins). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, I cannot do without <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/ableton-operator-alternative\">Ableton&rsquo;s <strong>Operator<\/strong><\/a> instrument. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"168\" data-pin-description=\"Ableton Live Suite's Software Instruments -  Suite edition is that it comes fully packed with Ableton's virtual instruments.

If you don&rsquo;t want to be stuck using the simple <strong>EQ Three<\/strong> (low, mid, high) equalizer that comes with Live Intro, you can install a third-party equalizer like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.izotope.com\/en\/products\/ozone\/features\/equalizer.html\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Ozone 9 Equalizer<\/strong><\/a>. There are also many free plugins out there &hellip;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you think that you will mostly use external plugins, then you may be better off getting the Standard edition of Ableton. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I still think that Ableton Live Intro is too limited due to its maximum of 16 tracks and 2 sends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, be aware that external plugins are typically more intensive on your CPU than Ableton&rsquo;s stock plugins. Furthermore, external plugins run the risk of crashing your DAW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"376\" data-pin-description=\"Why Not Just Use External Plugins -

Whether or not <strong>MAX for Live<\/strong> is something you will use depends on your production needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gauge Your Needs (And Wants)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether or not Ableton Live Suite is worth it depends on your wants and needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are a garage band wanting to throw a demo together, Suite is probably not worth the cost. You could get away with using Ableton Live Intro. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your production needs are a bit more advanced but don&rsquo;t think you will use Ableton&rsquo;s stock instruments or sound libraries, Ableton Live Standard will suffice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has all the mixing effects you need. However, if you are an electronic music producer or are looking to get into sound design, Live Suite has everything you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Ableton Suite Worth It? &ndash; FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1623271554555\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Should I buy Ableton Standard or Suite?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Assess your needs and wants.
