The latest version of Live features a multitude of innovations and
improvements - designed to inspire creative music makers everywhere.
The most important new features at a glance:
Session automation: In Live 9?s Session View, automation can now be
recorded in real time directly within clips. Automation can move
together with clips between Arrangement and Session View.
Find sounds fast: In Live 9?s re-designed browser, all instruments,
effects, samples, and plug-ins are in one easy-to-navigate view. Drag
and drop folders from anywhere on your computer, search as you type
and navigate from the keyboard to find everything quickly.
Discover new sounds: Live 9 comes with a large selection of
production-ready sounds (more than 3000 in the Suite edition),
providing a full range of synthesizers, drum kits and one-shot
samples, acoustic instruments, loops and much more - all powered by
Live's built-in synthesizers, samplers and effects so they can be
tweaked and personalized.
Audio-to-MIDI: Live 9 has three ways to extract MIDI from audio clips.
Use Drums-toMIDI to convert drum breaks into MIDI files for use with
your own sounds. Use Harmony-to-MIDI and Melody-to-MIDI to get the
notes and chords from samples. Sing, beatbox, tap a rhythm, or play
any solo instrument, then use Melody or Drums-toMIDI to turn your
recordings into MIDI clips to edit and reuse with any sound.
Get your sound right: Live 9?s studio effects have all been reworked
for even better sound and usability. The Glue Compressor is a new
effect - an authentic model of a legendary 1980s console bus
compressor. EQ Eight now has an audition mode for isolating
frequencies and an expandable spectrum display. The Gate and
Compressor effects feature a Gain Reduction view which shows changes
in signal level over time.
Edit the details: Live 9 introduces new tools and an improved workflow
which allow for fast and flexible editing of musical ideas. Transpose,
reverse and stretch MIDI notes or warp clip automation and add curves
to automation envelopes.
Max for Live - now in Suite: The Suite edition of Live 9 comes with
Max for Live -giving users access to an ever-expanding array of unique
instruments, effects and tools. The included Max for Live boasts 25
new devices such as a convolution reverb, drum synthesizer
instruments, MIDI echo as well as reworked versions of classics such
as Step Sequencer and Buffer Shuffler 2.
Ableton Live 9 does not support VST3 but does support VSTs. There are
numerous VSTs from Native Instruments, Rob Papen etc available here.
