Ableton today announced the release of Live 5.2, bringing immediate native Intel-Mac support. This development makes Live 5.2 one of the first professional audio applications on the market to run as a Universal Binary to take advantage of Apple's fastest machines: the new Intel-Mac.
Intel-Mac users can purchase a new Live 5.2 serial number for 49 USD/39 EUR via the Ableton webshop. This 49 USD will be fully refunded to customers who buy the upgrade to Live 6, which is scheduled for release in Q3. Complete information on Live 6's specs, availability, and pricing will be made available this summer.
Users who purchased Live 5 after Steve Jobs' announcement of the new Intel-Macs (January 10, 2006) will receive the Intel-Mac Live 5.2 download at no additional charge.
For Live 5 users on PCs and non Intel-Mac machines, Live 5.2 will also be released as a free bug-fix update.
