Ableton have announced the upcoming release of Live 7 LE, which they are describing as an easy-to-use, professional-grade music-making solution that everyone can afford.
Ableton say that Live 7 LE is built on the same fundamental concepts as Ableton Live with innovative workflow and refreshing simplicity. They tell us that the new LE version offers most of Ableton Live 7's new features with an intuitive interface and pro features for recording, songwriting, remixing and DJing.
Ableton Live 7 LE includes:

• Studio-quality recording up to 32-bit/192 kHz*
• Sixty-four audio tracks and unlimited MIDI tracks per project
• Powerful and creative MIDI sequencing for software instruments
• More than twenty built-in audio effects, including a host of creative delays, filters, distortions, studio compressors and EQs*
• Two software instruments—Simpler for creative sample-based synthesis, and Impulse for dynamic, sampled drums*
• VST and AU effects and instruments support; automatic plug-in delay compensation*
• Real-time time-stretching and warping of AIFF, WAV, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC and MP3 files for DJing and instant remixing
• Real-time tweaking of Live's controls with any MIDI controller—just MIDI-map it or choose from a list of popular supported controllers for instant mapping
• Single-screen user interface for simple, creativity-focused operation
• Multicore and multiprocessor support
