I am interested in Ableton but pretty much everyone is recommending to either get the lite version(which is bundled with a lot of products) or the Suite version.
Would probably help if there was a installment plan for users who are outside the US.

A few month ago I decided to start fresh and removed all pirated DAWs, plugins, purchased Lite version and started learning it in and out. I was surprised how far you can go with just sampling. It was so much fun discovering new sample packs, chopping and remixing songs, trying to make tonal instruments out of weird noises. I've also realized how many popular songs use sampling (for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eU5Dn-WaElI). So yeah, setting creative constraints is important ;)
I'm at the point when I'm super at home using Ableton and ready to spend more money on Suit, but holding hopes for black Friday discounts.

Might probably fool around in Ableton Live to get a feel for it :)
The Push + Live Suit bundle is good value imo.
Though you should ask what you're going to use it for. I use it mostly as an arranger and honestly, I could have done the same better in Studio One.
It's amazing how limitation can help creativity.
Why? Ableton is a German company.
