many thanks to Lokki for this 



originally released in july of 2004, (v4.14 released around dec2004/jan2005) we now have this mac os 9 version of Ableton
that suports MIDI Clips + MIDI tracks.. and most important of all..** VST instruments **!
(previously in v3 and lower it only supported VST effects like reverb/compressor etc)
this is an amazing piece of software and im every excited that we now have it available to be used
in mac os 9!!

For those of you not so familiar with this program, i urge you to download.. experiment.. drag some loops into tracks and experience what it can do for yourself hands on!! dont think of ableton as a standalone program, this program is used best when used in conjunction with other programs via rewire, f.e. recording/sampling sounds over rewire from another app such as reason.. this is the perfect match for reason v2.5!

if there is any software worth buying for mac os 9 this is it.. but u would not buy it if u didnt understand what it is and what it can do for you, I personally plan on buying ableton 9 but it is a larger investment purchase.. but i would say that of all programs u can buy this one, when learned + used properly, is worth every penny!!!! i have been in contact with ableton and they offered to sell this to me for 200$ (a reduced price for a license because its an older version) so if you have already learned the program and are using this professionally you may feel this program is worth paying for.. keep it in mind to contact ableton and ask to purchase a license for mac os 9.22 and they will most likely extend the same $200 reduced price offer to you!

[supernova777]

yes of course but this is to show the original box..
im so glad to have an original copy;) my favourite software;)

[MacTron]

...OK, I understand. 

[startech]

Can anyone explain how Live 4 runs on a 1GHZ Titanium Powerbook (is it fluid or choppy). I'm mostly concerned with latency. Thanks!

[geforceg4]

ive had live 4 working great on a pentium III 700mhz PC so im sure it would ROCK on a 1ghz TI book
maybe u need a new hard drive?

[startech]

Happy to hear. As a die hard Ableton user, I'm thinking of purchasing A Titanium Powerbook and giving Live 4 a shot. Just want to make sure it works seemlessly...

as long as the machine + its memory/drive is in working condition it should work famously! of course u would need a firewire/USB or PCMCIA audio/midi interface for the TIBOOK!

[startech]

Can you recommend a PCMCIA interface?

Cheers guys thanks for the help

Sorry to resurrect this but is there a manual available for this version of Live?
The link to the Ableton manual v4.14 on the ableton manuals thread is not working
Oh and I guess I should've posted my question on that thread..

basically requesting the admins to fix this content back where it was put (by me)
broken link : http://www.macos9lives.com/downloads/manuals/live/Live_v414_English.pdf

the entire http://macos9lives.com/downloads/ directory is gone
which has broken the same links i posted on my own site aswell http://www.oldschooldaw.com/forums/index.php/topic,32.0.html

Hi, I'm new here! How do I access this download?

When I click the download link I get "An Error has Occurred! The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you."

Edit: NVM. I think I found it in the Downloads section.

[Rosetta]

Just my luck that right when I finally take the plunge and grab a G4 for some old-school digital music making, the premier site for this stuff has to pull its downloads... 

Does anybody have this file archived by chance and can share it with me? Pleeeease. I would be very much obliged.

[Architecture]

Also in the same boat. Some of my files for my DAW software needs reinstalled.
