How much different is ableton live vs ableton live lite? I get the latter free with my audio interface, not sure if terms are changing with 13 but they let me get version 12 with my 10 year old focusrite.

I think the biggest thing is a track limit (8?), but I'm sure there's other things. Max4live, etc.

Extremely different. Lite has track limit (8) and is missing EQ8 - the stock multiband equaliser, among other things.

Ableton makes this extremely clear in:

go through it and you'll see that Standard is the least you'd want, and Suite is a great deal.

three main version are Lite, Standard and Suite. Lite is pretty decent and almost has everything that Standard has except limits you to 8 tracks, Suite is where the real magic is though with Max4Live and such.
