Don't quote me, but I think the non-commercial license is actually for you, while the commercial license is for professional AE's and the like. Checking them both out will also show you what I mean about them basically being the same same functions with different names and located in different places, etc.Īnd I don't think you'll have any issues buying a non-commercial license. The best DAW for you is the one that lets you work how you want to work or, at least, gets you the closest to how you want to work. The real differences between them are the workflows. My experience with DAW's is that they are all basically the same. If you like it, drop the coin for an upgrade. If you have Live Lite, then go ahead and learn it. If you're just getting into this kinda stuff, don't worry too much about which DAW you're using. Can I "sell" my completed music from the songs I make using the current Ableton Live Lite 8 I currently have? Just clarifying. ONE OTHER THING, I just read someone mentioning that the cheap Reaper DAW you get a non-commercial license? What exactly does that mean about the non-commercial license? Just mean that it is the basic version? Or for non-profit use? I plan to make money selling my music so the DAW I use must enable me to do so. What are the main features Lite Lite is limited at that make the biggest impact on "work"? I read the features list, but not sure exactly what is "needed" so most of the stuff listed is unknown to me.

Or if I should purchase another DAW (Reaper?, I'm a PC user)? But I am strapped for cash from buying all my other equipment, so for a long while all I have is $150 to spend. So maybe someone who has made some music can tell me if Live Lite is enough for my needs. I can try Live Lite out, but prefer to figure this out first so I can just learn one DAW that I will be using. I just don't have a much money so I have to work with what I can afford. I am not just "playing" as a hobby, I am seriously trying to become a musician. I plan to make beats very "filled", not just a few simple instruments. I still have not made a song or beat yet so I don't really know how many tracks I would need really. I will be making my own songs (vocals and beats). I hear the lite version is limited on the number of tracks (not exactly sure how many, only see Intro version features listed). Now that I am sort of learning more about how these work, I am having second thoughts. So I was pretty set on just using Ableton Live Lite 8 as my DAW.
