Create music your way
While Ableton Live 9 offers all of the tools you need to make music in a traditional "linear" way, the gurus at Ableton developed this software suite to allow a uniquely creative approach to song creation. Use Ableton Live 9 to piece together song ideas and song structures by dragging around sections and loops in Session View" Live 9's Session View will enhance your live performances by assigning out massive MIDI controls - so you can record loops, overdub, perform in a massive synth part, and develop songs, all on the fly. Offering an inspiring workflow for everyone from DJs to solo musicians to top-level groove producers, Ableton Live 9 is a complete solution for brainstorming, creating, composing, building, growing, and performing your songs.

Automation has never been easier
Add tweaks and changes to your audio with Session View automation in Ableton Live 9. Capture parameter changes on the fly like mixer move and tweaks to sound over time. Live 9 will record knob and fader movements in realtime or you can draw the automation in with your mouse. You can even create curved automation. Ableton Live 9 makes automation easier than ever.

Convert your audio to MIDI for amazing flexibility
Live 9's new audio-to-MIDI converter lets you change any type of audio to MIDI. Record guitar chords and change them to synth parts. Want a quick way to create drum beats? Grab a mic, beatbox the rhythm you want, tell Live 9 to convert the audio to MIDI, and then use bass drum and snare as the new MIDI instruments. Instant drum beat. This innovative and very cool function in Live 9 is only limited by your imagination.
