Ableton Live 11 Suite is the full edition of Ableton Live 11, the previous major version of Ableton’s digital audio workstation. It suits producers who want Live 11, or who run older computers: it works on macOS 10.13 High Sierra (Intel) and Windows 10 build 1909. Ableton’s shop now lists Live 12 only, so for the newest version see Ableton Live 12 Suite.

Ableton Live 11 vs 12
Live 12 adds MIDI Tools (Generators and Transformations), the Meld synth, Roar, Granulator III, Stacked Detail Views and Sound Similarity Search. It also needs a newer system: macOS 11.7.10 and, on Windows, a CPU with AVX2.
Choose Live 11 if your computer cannot meet those requirements. Choose Live 12 Suite if you want the current version and its new tools.
System requirements
- Windows: Windows 10 (build 1909 and later) or Windows 11; Intel Core i5 or AMD multi-core CPU; 8 GB RAM
- macOS: macOS 10.13 High Sierra or later on Intel (10.13 needs the Intel build); macOS 11.7.10 Big Sur or later on Apple silicon; 8 GB RAM
- Apple silicon: native from Live 11.1 (Universal build, macOS 10.14 or higher)
- Disk: around 6 GB for the basic install, plus up to around 80 GB of optional sound content
