Thinking about switching to Ableton standard for the discounted price at Thomann for $205. Three questions:
1.
This is a stupid good deal right? Anything weird about buying a license through them vs. Ableton?
I will have almost all the functionality with standard version, minus some specialized synths and what not, right? I have plenty of 3rd party plugins from Logic so I’m not worried about missing out on the wavetable and granular synths. I just want to make sure because, coming from logic, the upgrade system seems bizarre. Like, if I understand correctly, the intro version doesn't even have MIDI out? Yikes.
I know Ableton is about to update from 12.3 to 12.4. This is a free upgrade, correct? I won’t be locked into an old version? Again, not used to this sort of upgrade ecosystem.
Thanks!
