Introduced in 2001 as an audio sequencer to be played like an instrument in live performances, Live was quickly embraced by studio musicians and post production professionals because of the swiftness and ease with which they could sketch out musical ideas.
Live version 2.0 offers enhancements to the performance and jamming features of the original software and also adds multi-track recording and editing with 'Elastic Audio', which refers to Live 2.0's unique ability to render audio totally elastic.
Making Music with Ableton Live covers installation and setting up whether on Mac OS 9, OS X, or Windows 98, ME, 2000 or XP. It covers the specification of computer and choice of sound card, and shows how to use Live on desktops and on laptops.
Learn how to use Live on-stage, triggering from your computer from your MIDI keyboard or from MIDI controllers, and using the software in a DJ environment - cueing loops and looping within songs.
You'll also find out how to use the built-in effects - compression, delay, filters, VST effects, etc. and how to use MIDI controllers and MIDI sync.
With appendices on shortcut keys, backing up and a list of web resources, it's your indispensable accessory to using Ableton Live.
