General
Ableton Live 9 Suite music production software (French) is a unique, inspiring software package that enjoys immense popularity. Ableton Live focuses more on high-level composition, rather than the sequencers that are at the core of traditional music notation. That means that you can combine a variety of clips with audio or MIDI data and place them in a timeline in no time. Of course, you can also add a variety of sound parameters, such as filters. The interesting thing about this method is how incredibly intuitive (and fast) it is to compose new songs live and in the studio, especially when used in conjunction with Ableton controllers You'll find that this software is great for studio and live work - the latter being possible if you have a controller.
New functions in Ableton Live 9 Suite
The ninth version of Ableton allows you to set parameters with a MIDI controller. You can optimise this kind of automation by using a mouse to add curves or edit mistakes. Finding the right sound is much faster with the new browser too, so you’ll have more time to spend on your composition. Another great feature of the Suite version is the enormous sound library that comes along with it. To be specific, you’ll have a total of 3,000 sounds to wield. Furthermore, new effects such as the Glue Compressor give the quality of your project a nice boost. The audio-to-MIDI plugin is also interesting, as it converts audio to MIDI data so you can sing a melody and convert it into MIDI notation, for instance.
Who is this software for?
Because of the nature of this software you’ll find it being used by many producers in the electro genres, such as house, dance, trance and dub-step. The option to connect an Ableton controller to the software has also helped to increase its popularity, as it makes live composing easier and more visually appealing. Of course, Ableton isn’t exclusively for electro, and at the end of the day the only limits are the ones artists place on themselves. So whether you’re into electro or classical, you’re going to find what you need in this collection. Ableton is the key to unlocking your musical creativity and translating it into a format for live performances.
