Ableton Live 8 – The Line Marches On
Ableton Live 8 – A Tremendous Item Of Music Software
Ableton Live 8 released in 2009 continues the now 10 year old series high standards of incredibly high standard software for music recording, production and performance. It has long been an industry standard winning plaudits from all of the usual suspects as well as a number of notable musicians in electronic, rock and a number of other circles. It’s intuitive interface has made it a massive hit since it’s release in 2001, and it remains an impressive piece of software. In it’s field Live 8 has dominated it’s competitors in an incredibly tough field.
For the most part, the music production aspect of the program relies on loops, musicians either load pre-made samples onto a track which Ableton then automatically loops, or create their own loops using synthesizers for arrangement. The software includes a number of synths and drum machines that are fairly simple to use, but using 3rd party software is also fairly easy.
The fact that it is probably the market leader in terms of compatibility has helped promote this aspect of Ableton Live 8 a great deal. Third party synths from both independent developers and the bigger names of the industry are easily plugged in and loaded onto the software using a Windows style drag and drop method, again demonstrating the incredibly intuitive nature of the controls.
The versatility of the software with regards to plugins is also taken care of automatically with no need for previous knowledge of music software or even computers users can learn how to make and record their music in a matter of hours. The interface has managed to main it’s simplicity despite the ever increasing number of features is a testament to the software.
As a complete studio this piece of software also delivers excellent results, allowing musicians to easily record and edit their work. Much easier than a 4 track or analogue recording device, the incredibly intuitive interface makes it a matter of childsplay to record and edit your work. Sounds are automatically converted into easily editable files which can be edited and played around with just like you would with any digital file.
Although the software is incredibly simple to learn and operate, this can be deceptive at times as users can forget that they are using an incredibly powerful sound engine. Although most people can learn the basics in a few afternoons, making music that can do it justice remains unattainable for all but a few.
One of the features that is developing in a very promising fashion with each new edition is the live performance element. With early versions of the software it was perhaps somewhat neglected, favoring the composition element of the engine, since the 5th edition Ableton Live as a way to use your laptop as an instrument in itself has really come into it’s own. Improvements to the cuing, looping and beat-matching software have finally made it reliable.
In summary, Ableton Live is a worthy representative of the series 10 year history of excellent incredibly and intuitive and professional quality music production and DJ Software. You can search online for other best DJ equipment.
