Ableton LIVE version 2 sequencing instrument for Mac OS9 Mac OSX Windows

Ableton released LIVE version 2, a major upgrade of their award-winning sequencing instrument for Mac OS9, Mac OSX, and Windows. Introduced in 2001 as an audio sequencer to be played like an instrument in live performance, 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 2 offers enhancements to the performance and jamming features of the original software and also adds multitrack recording and editing with "Elastic Audio".

Elastic Audio refers to LIVE 2's unique ability to treat audio as being totally malleable with independent control over tempo and pitch. This feature allows tempo to be set at anytime during recording, performance or playback. In addition, users can drop in recordings, loops and complete songs that will play in sync, direct from disk. LIVE 2 makes it possible to synchronize loops and recordings of any length at any time. Also, time stretching is no longer limited to loops but can now be applied to any audio material; time stretching algorithms have been optimized to produce the best fidelity for rhythmic or melodic material.

Tap Tempo allows the user to tap tempo during recording and playback. Tempo changes are recordable and editable as a continuous curve. This increases flexibility and creative efficiency for looping, synchronizing, improvising and recording-the process has never been faster, easier or more fun.

Multitrack recording and editing in LIVE 2 turns the Arranger view into a full blown multitrack recording and editing suite offering extensive real-time effects, dynamic parameter automation and unlimited undo. Recording can be initiated directly from the Arranger window.

"We initially developed LIVE as our own dream tool for performing live, but we knew it would appeal to many others. We are very proud that it has become so successful and that we receive this much acclaim," comments Ableton founder Gerhard Behles." A lot of professional studio musicians that are using the software have told us that the features that make LIVE a great performance tool also make it great in the studio. We decided to add recording and editing features to make LIVE a more integrated tool-one that can take the music from the stage to the studio and back to the stage. We focused on Elastic Audio, being able to combine audio from all formats and change tempo at anytime. Making this effortless and fast allows our users more room for creativity."

Other new features of LIVE 2 include: Advanced automation handling DJ-like cross-fading Relative Session Mapping: assignable scene up/down and track launch buttons Tempo and Transport controls can be mapped to MIDI /Keys Presets to save and recall effect settings New effects: Gate; Redux

Pricing and Availability LIVE 2 is now available for a MSRP of $399 USD (399 Euro). The boxed upgrade from 1.5 version is $89 USD (89 Euro); the unboxed version is $69 USD (69 Euro).
