| Ableton |
Software for creating, producing, and performing music. The flagship product, Live, has introduced a new approach to making music with computers on stage and in the studio that some call revolutionary. Live has received outstanding feedback from the international press and artists. There are now several hundred thousand Live users worldwide, and the number is growing fast.
Ableton Live is your companion during every stage of the musical process, from creation to production to performance.
Live offers two main views—the Session View and the Arrangement View—that interact in a powerful and unique way, allowing you to create, produce and perform your music all in a single application. Here is the principle behind each view:
| Session View | |
 |
Live's unique Session View acts as a powerful musical sketch and launch pad, allowing you to try out new ideas easily and improvise freely. Each cell in the Session View grid can hold a recording, MIDI file, or any other musical idea. These ideas can be recorded on the fly or dragged in from the Browser and played in any order and at any time you wish. |
| Arrangement View | |
 |
The Arrangement View offers a timeline-based approach for traditional multitrack recording, MIDI sequencing and other music production tasks. You can even improvise in the Session View, and all of your actions will be recorded into the Arrangement View, where they can be edited whenever you like. |
Ableton Suite combines Ableton Live with an inspired collection of Ableton instruments in a consistent workflow. Ableton Suite includes Ableton Live, Sampler, Operator, Electric, Analog, Tension, Drum Machines, the Essential Instrument Collection 2 and Session Drums.
Ableton Live LE gives you an intuitive interface and pro features for recording, songwriting, remixing and DJing. Compare the features of Live LE versus Live full.
