Ableton Live 12 Suite Digital Download

Introducing Ableton Live 12, the fast, fluid, and flexible software designed for musicians, producers, and performers alike. Packed with a plethora of effects, instruments, sounds, and creative tools, Live 12 offers everything you need to bring your musical ideas to life.

With Live's two modes of working, the possibilities are endless. In Session View, sketch ideas quickly by playing, mixing, and matching MIDI and audio loops without ever stopping the music. The Arrangement View allows you to organise your music along a timeline and build sections of your song. Record an arrangement directly from the Session View and improvise a finished composition.

Capture your ideas with ease using Live's versatile recording capabilities. Record hardware synths, software instruments, guitars, vocals, or any audio from the real world. Combine the best of multiple audio or MIDI passes with Live's new comping feature. Use MIDI Transformations to add variations to your patterns or MIDI Generators to create new ideas. Find inspiration with Sound Similarity, which suggests presets and sounds similar to your current project.

Live's synthesizers offer a full spectrum of sound, from wavetable and FM to subtractive, granular, and analogue- and physical-modelling architectures. Sampling devices bring built-in slicing and warping, along with extensive sound-shaping capabilities. MIDI effects allow manipulation of notes, while a range of audio effects help tidy up your mix or create unique textures.

Included with Live is the Core Library, featuring vintage synths, analogue drum machines, keys, and multi-sampled drums. Live 12 adds Lost and Found, a collection of unique foley recordings and DIY multi-sampled instruments, a Performance Pack for live performance, and drum Packs from Sound Oracle for authentic hip-hop and trap beats.

Take your performance to the stage with Live's real-time capabilities. Trigger, resequence, and remix your music on the fly. Use flexible MIDI mapping to tweak Live with your controller, creating unique combinations of instruments and effects. Save settings as Macro snapshots for instant variations during your performance.

Connect Live to any MIDI controller, including MPE-compatible hardware for expressive control. Use Ableton Link to sync multiple devices over a network connection, playing alongside other music applications like Reason and Serato. Max for Live brings a world of customisation, allowing you to customise Live's devices, build your own, and connect to lights, cameras, sensors, and more.
