REVIEW
Ableton Live 9 is a music production program that allows you to create, produce and perform music on the fly. Ableton's unique and revolutionary workflow lets you create ideas, make changes without stopping, and capture everything as you work. If you've used music software before, you‰۪re already familiar with one half of Ableton Live. Live's Arrangement View is a familiar working space: time moves from left to right, while tracks are stacked vertically. But Live also features the revolutionary Session View: a unique sketchpad for improvising, playing and performing with musical ideas, without the constraints of the timeline. Freely and independently start and stop any number of audio or MIDI loops - everything stays in sync. Almost everything in Live works in real-time - add, reorder or remove devices, play with Live‰۪s flexible track routing and more - all without interrupting your creative flow.
Live 9 comes with everything you need to make music on your computer including a robust collection of instruments, sounds, kits and loops to help you get started. It also includes numerous plug-in effects, plus the unique Audio-To-MIDI feature that allows you to extract MIDI notes from audio samples, or even your own voice! Sing, beatbox, hit a rhythm or play an instrument and Ableton converts it into usable, editable MIDI notes. All this, plus improved editing capabilities and updated automation for a more powerful and intuitive flow.
The Suite version of Ableton 9 also includes Max for Live which allows accesss to 900+ devices to expand your musical possiblites. Create custom instruments, effects and other tools with Max for Live, or use the 26 built-in Max for Live instruments and effects.
