Ableton Live 11 Standard Music Production Software (Download Only)
Ableton 11 is the newest instalment of the massively popular Digital Audio Workstation and provides you with advanced music production and sound editing application with a tonne of brand new features that are purely designed to assist you with your compositions and audio editing. Such features include a brand new user interface, the addition of a wavetable synthesizer and a broad range of workflow improvements alongside perfect integration with Max for Live.
To help you stay in the groove, Ableton 11 now features a multitude of workflow improvements that are designed to keep you focused on what’s most important, creating music that sounds professional. Whether you’re merely getting down some ideas, organising your setup or getting down and dirty with some creative audio processing Live 11 comes with a plethora of improved functions, new shortcuts, and production-based features to keep you in the creative process.
When using the Push 2 alongside Ableton Live 11 you can simultaneously sequence notes and play them from the same pad layout; this means you can play notes in real-time using the bottom 32 pads as well as use the top 32 pads to sequence in chord progressions and melodies. Also using the MIDI note view you can alter notes and pitches directly from the Push’s display, simply press and hold a step on the sequencer and use the onboard controls to adjust parameters such as velocity, note position and note length. Thanks to the Push 2’s high-resolution screens you get a crystal clear view of both the Echo effect and the Wavetable synthesizer while you’re using them, this means you do not need to constantly stare at your computer screen when you’re sound designing. This visualization also works for the EQ Eight effect and the Compressor; you’ll see a frequency spectrum analysis across the screen in real-time alongside mid/side and left/right EQ modes, as well as visuals for threshold settings and when the signal ducks.
Now Max for Live is fully integrated into Ableton 11 and provides you with a broad variety of new devices and functions which have been designed to give you more creative options than ever before. Max for Live has undergone many significant improvements including faster load times, less CPU usage and an updated user interface; this makes Max for Live even more reliable and intuitive. Many of Max for Live’s native devices have been significantly updated; drum synthesizers have been re-worked to offer an upgraded sound and a much more comprehensive sweet spot. Plus new LFO tools and modulation sources mean you can now modulate up to eight parameters from within a single device. Thanks to enhanced MIDI-hardware integration, Max for Live can now send and receive SysEx signals, giving you a more in-depth combination with hardware synthesizers which includes preset backup dumps and parameter control. You can also create custom control surfaces for any custom hardware you may have, while new routing abilities makes mixing for performances and multi-channel speaker setups more accessible than ever thanks to the Surround Panner effect.
