Ableton Live

Ableton Live is a performance-oriented digital audio workstation that emphasizes real-time interaction and stability. It's available for both Mac and PC.

Live's nonlinear, intuitive flow, alongside powerful real-time editing and flexible performance options, make it a favorite with live performers.

Live 8, the latest version, includes a new groove engine, revamped warping, live looping, new effects, crossfades in the Arrangement View and a reworked MIDI editor.

In this video demo, Ness explains how he’s using Max For Live to recreate the logic of In C using the capabilities of Max For Live.

      something to think about

      We are increasingly likely to find ourselves in places with background music. No composers have thought to write for these modern spaces, which represent 30% of our musical experience. — Brian Eno
