Ableton

Create, produce and perform. Create ideas, make changes without stopping, and capture everything as you work.

If youve used music software before, youre already familiar with one half of Ableton Live. Lives Arrangement View is a familiar working space: time moves from left to right, while tracks are stacked vertically.

But Live also features the revolutionary Session View: a unique sketchpad for improvising, playing and performing with musical ideas, without the constraints of the timeline. Freely and independently start and stop any number of audio or MIDI loops - everything stays in sync. Almost everything in Live works in real-time - add, reorder or remove devices, play with Lives flexible track routing and more - all without interrupting your creative flow.

The instruments and sounds you need to make music. Live comes with a collection of instruments, sounds, kits and loops for creating any kind of music.
