Ableton Live 4

Hey. Look what I found. Maybe I can install it.

My first version of Live was 4, same big box. From PC World

Andy Bignell

Do it! I'd love to see what's inside there. Get a look at some of those sweet printed materials. I'm guessing the manual back then was as "enthusiastic" as it is now.

Shall I do an unboxing video?

Ned Rush

Nice. So tangible! I remember installing games in the early/mid '90s from big boxes like that, with a pretty sleeve, a big printed manual, and a big stack of 3.5'' floppies. I'm guessing your box there had CD-ROMs in it.

It’s about the same size as a small box of cereal.

What the... did the software come on a big LP? What *is* that you're holding?

I'd watch a "what's new in Live 4?" video... DV camcorder pointed at clamshell MacBook's screen, and sounds coming from beige computer speakers. Glorious.

I don't care about Ableton 12 anymore, please show us how to make early 00's jungle beats on Ableton 4

I'm fairly certain that I have a working Apple Power Macintosh G4 466 (Digital Audio) that'll run that. If so, I'd be more than happy to donate it. :)

Wow. Nostalgia. They even shipped with a spiral bound real life manual back then. We need to lobby Ableton for a virtual manual we can read with a VR headset. Maybe gloves with sensors that make you feel like you’re turning pages.

Hi! I’m new here, so this is a good way to introduce myself. I still own my boxed copy of Live 1, but I remember Live 4 being the version that introduced MIDI and that certainly was a game changer. Cheers from Portugal!

Pretty sure the graphics will look the same as 12
