A different approach to making music
Whether you're entirely new to making music in any computer-based DAW or just new to Live, you'll love the way that Ableton Live Intro approaches music writing. Most DAWs work along a linear timeline, and while Ableton Live can record and play back along an overall timeline, it can also use loops and scenes to depart sharply from this traditional approach. Each audio or MIDI loop plays indefinitely until you tell it to stop. When you layout a series of loops that go well together, you can create a scene from them. Ableton Live Intro allows you up to eight different scenes. Each scene triggers a series of loops, but you can always trigger loops manually outside of any scene, recombine them, and create new scenes. And although you can trigger scenes to play in order, you can also go back and trigger earlier scenes. By constantly being able to go back and make changes, triggering different loops, and finding new combinations, you get a more musically minded approach to creating music. When you're ready to record, just arm your tracks and record your performance.
Break out of the studio and take it live
Ableton Live's loop and scene based method of approaching music composition adds a completely different element to live DJing. Instead of spinning tracks, you can DJ loops right out of live, assembling completely original music on the fly. Already, the DJ world has jumped on Live and discovered thousands of ways to use it, either on its own or together with DJ programs. Because Ableton Live Intro offers complete ReWire support, it can beat synch and transfer audio into many of the most popular DJ programs. You don't have to be a DJ to appreciate Live. Many artists from a wide range of music have been using Live's incredibly powerful MIDI engine (which allows you to control almost all of its parameters to be controlled via MIDI) to trigger backing tracks, loops, and sound effects as they play. So, whether you use it on its own, together with other DJ software, or as an accent for your live performance, there is a lot you can do with Ableton Live Intro.
