The folks over at Ableton have announced the upcoming release of Live 7 LE, which they say is, “An easy-to-use, professional-grade music-making solution that everyone can afford!” Live 7 LE is built on the same fundamental concepts as the best-selling Ableton Live software, which has won numerous awards for its innovative workflow and refreshing simplicity. Offering up most of Ableton Live 7’s new features, the LE version makes music-making both fast and fun, thanks to its user-friendly interface. Just a few of the notable features include:
- Studio-quality recording up to 32-bit/192kHz.
- 64 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.
