MGR/ctargia « Ableton Live »
Published on 05/11/10 at 15:00I am commenting on Version 6, not the most current version.
We used this program in college, I still have a copy.
This is great music editing and sampling software. It is very simple and intuitive and can do a lot with a little. This program is great for live performance, as you can program almost any action you can do in the program to a switch on your midi keyboard, and record and automate these actions. The possibilities are truly endless! Another great feature is the arpeggiator. It will automatically create arpeggios with the push of one button, set to whatever note pitch and length you chose, and you can adjust it on the fly while recording or performing live.
It does not have the best instrument samples for realistic instruments, it is more suited for electronic music and dj style performances. This will not replace a real instrument with a midi one. However many of the synthetic instruments are very versatile.
Does not crash often.
Its a great program for anyone who wants to incorperate computers into there live act. The possibilities are truly endless with this program. It is very powerful and worth the money in my opinon if you plan to make full use of it; a great investment. However if you are looking for studio mastering software, this can work as it but there are better options, as the programs name, Ablteon Live, this is best suited for live use. And I must say it does that very well!
