Ableton releases Live Lite to Full upgrade

Ableton has announced that an upgrade package, called Live Lite to Full, should now be available from instrument dealers around the world. Live Lite is a "crippled" version of Live 6, and mainly comes bundled with equipment from companies like Digidesign, Korg and Tascam; by buying Live Lite to Full, the missing features are restored. Some of these include unlimited audio and MIDI tracks, unlimited effects and plug-ins, and high-quality multitrack recording (32-bit, 192KHz). MP3, FLAC and Ogg Vorbis formats become supported, as do things such as ASIO, ReWire and Core Audio. Finally, buyers get a copy of the Essential Instruments Collection sample library. The software costs $420 (€380).
