There used to be extensions to Max that you had to pay extra for, such as Vizzie and Gen but you now get everything under a single Max license, and Max for LIve is either a paid addon to a standard Live license or more commonly an included component of the Ableton Live Studio license. Its only difference is that you're only licensed to use Max inside of Ableton Live. The Max standalone is capable of a wide variety of other use cases in comparison to Max for Live, but the Max that's available in Live is exactly the same as the Max standalone.

It's still Max, the only difference these days is that you don't have to install Max to take advantage of Max for Live as Max is bundled as part of the Live distribution. There’s a stand-alone version of Max which has no DAW integrationĪnd there’s Max4Live which works only inside Ableton The problem with PD is that it's very badly documented and in general, DAW APIs are deep/complex or in most cases non-existent! There was talk that community developed bridges to other DAW's might evolve using PD (Pure Data), which is developed by the same developer that created the original version of Max - Miller Puckette. There might have been a chance of a Max integration in other DAW’s at one point, but now that Ableton owns Cycling’74, I don’t see that happening. Very very interesting, Max only available for Ableton Live? Yeah, you're right - that simple, more intuitive usage is enticing, and there's room for said:

I know a fair number of Ableton artists that have never opened a Max patch in their lives that still rely on many, many M4L devices in their day-to-day work. Ableton may now own Cycling’74 but the businesses are run very separately, and many of the innovations in Max aren’t created with Ableton front of mind, but that doesn’t stop those innovations from being hugely beneficial to Ableton artists. The great thing with Bitwig and Ableton sharing a family tree, is that much of what you learn in one, helps you to work effectively in the other.īut I do view the benefits of Cycling’74’s Max very separately from Ableton LIve. And they fundamentally excel at many of the same things, the primary of which is breaking free from linearity as prescribed in other DAWs. I really don’t believe one is better than the other. M4L is hugely powerful, in ways that go way beyond the tools in Bitwig, but Bitwig enables creative pathways that don’t require the need to first learn a complex visual programming platform. And I’m glad that I have both as Max for Live enables very different creative avenues than the modular playground in Bitwig. I happily use both M4L/Ableton and Bitwig. I really want to try the grid thing out, but I’m afraid it’ll make me regret the time/cash I’ve spent with max/ableton 😵‍💫
