Ableton Live

What is Ableton Live?

Ableton Live is a powerful digital audio workstation for music creation and live performance.

Users of Ableton Live can compose, produce, and perform music with this single platform that runs in real-time. It offers a huge selection of instruments, sounds, tools, and loops for creating a variety of music and sound effects.

The platform comes with a comprehensive sound library, plug-ins, and an intuitive clip-based interface for music creation, so musicians and producers don't need any other audio editing software. Users can do a lot with Ableton Live: they can sketch, tweak, and experiment with sounds; get into details with organizing music on a timeline; capture all ideas and turn them into music; use any sounds at any tempo; use a variety of instruments and sound effects; and much more.

Ableton uses its advanced technology to make music production and live performance support an outstanding experience. Musicians are free to spark ideas and shape their sound, to make a creative mess with analog-modeled noise, or to collaborate from multiple devices. They can play MIDI and audio loops of different lengths in any combination, without ever stopping the music.
