Live: The DAW for Creators
There’s something truly special about Ableton Live. It’s a wholly unique DAW fit for any creative environment. It’s dynamite in the studio, works wonders managing large-scale productions onstage, and functions as a creative tool for producers and fearless experimentalists. And it manages these feats without feeling clunky or too cluttered. Simply put, Ableton Live is the endlessly powerful creative tool you’ve always wanted.
Record in a Traditional DAW Environment with Arrangement View
The Arrangement View within Ableton Live functions as a traditional linear DAW. It places time on the X-axis and tracks on the Y-axis. Ableton includes an absolute mountain of production tools and plug-ins that turbocharge your creativity. They also include effects processors such as the Glue Compressor that dominates modern EDM. If you’ve ever used another DAW, you’ll find yourself at home with Ableton Live’s Arrangement View.
Compose on the Fly with Session View
Whether you make electronic music, rock, blues, or anything in between, your songs likely rely on repeated phrases and melodies. That’s where Live’s Session View absolutely excels. Session View places all the individual tracks on the X-axis and scenes on the Y-axis. Each scene has a slot for audio or MIDI clips. From there, it’s easy to create memorable grooves and experiment with the arrangement in real time. There are plenty of tools within the Session View that take your productions to new heights.
From Live Performances to Studio Sessions
Live is suitable for far more than creating in the studio. Touring acts around the world rely on Ableton Live to coordinate their live shows. By using scenes and songs within Live, you can trigger effects, transition from song to song, and far more. The software will even supply your click track. With Ableton Live, your show goes off without a hitch every single time.
Push: Hands-on Control for Ableton Live
Ableton Live comes loaded with more instruments, production tools, and performance enhancers than ever. And you can control everything from Push, a standalone pad controller with deep integration with Ableton Live. It puts all the processing potential right at your fingertips, giving you access to the tools you need without distracting from the creative process. The standalone playability lets you disconnect from a traditional DAW workflow and fully immerse yourself in the music.
