Ableton Live is a program for Windows designed to help songwriters and disc jockeys create, record and edit their own musical compositions. What is more, it is possible to alter the way the tracks sound by adding various special effects and adjustments in real-time.

GUI and Help manual

The graphical user interface was made to resemble a DJ deck. Thus, it may seem a little overwhelming in terms of functions, which could scare novices. For this reason, the developers included a comprehensive manual that explains various capabilities of this application.

Basic editing

The software solution provides a standard set of functions, such as recording and editing. However, it also offers much more. You have the ability to work with more than sixteen tracks simultaneously. These items may be independently edited via copying, cutting and pasting operations. Additionally, you can mix them to achieve a different sound.

Synthesize sounds

It is necessary to mention that besides importing MIDI files it is possible to synthesize new ones. Similar to FL Studio, this program supports a variety of instruments, which you are able to drag and drop to the desired track. Likewise, you have the option to create your own presets and store them in a library for future use.
