Live Erfahrungen

I love that it has both a session and arrangement views. When I can think in terms of short ideas instead of entire constructions it's easier to be more creative.

Everything is really great but I want there to be more than 7 collections to group sounds and instruments. That amount of groupings isn't nearly enough.

I love tracking in live I’ve been using it as an artist for over two years now. I’ve learned so much using live about mixing music

Personally I think live would be a big recommendation for EDM or hiphop music

It has lots of tutorials online and good for sound design

Confusing to look at and to understand compared to studio one

What I like the most about Ableton Live, is the ability to switch between the arrangement and session view. This allows a workflow that is fast and efficient. The software is fully expandable thanks to its 3rd party plugin integration and its rewire function.

I would like to see an improvement in the mixer section. A more "old school" or analog approach would allow different ways to mix down a project. Although this can be achieved in its current state, it would be nice to see some more routing, bus, and group options.

For most producing, arranging, mixing, and mastering tasks, Ableton Studio's stock plugins and software infrastructure make for an effective, efficient music creation environment. What makes this program invaluable, though, is its endless possibilities for sound design (especially with new randomization features built in to each track) and, perhaps obviously, its optimization for live performance. As a solo musician and producer, being able to create complex tracks on the spot is deeply liberating, and no other DAW (digital audio workstation) that I've used allows for this (although, I've read other DAWs are beginning to implement more live-looping and tempo syncing features).

It takes a little work to organize 3rd party plugins, but Ableton Live gives you multiple ways to approach this, which is more than some DAWs provide.

I think Live is the only DAW that truly allows you to be creative with a really use to use interface and plugins that inspire. But it also allows you to dive deep into the program if you want to with advanced midi routing and modulation.

I don't want to sound too optimistic but there's very few things wrong with this program. Ableton has done an amazing job perfecting this software over the years and with extra additions like the Live Enhancement Suite the possibilities become limitless.

I've been using Ableton since version 4. I have other DAW's on my machine for integration with collaborators. My go to for music production is 100% Ableton. VERY good with MIDI and audio the same. I just recently switched my dad from HIS favorite DAW. He is 69 years old and caught onto Ableton very quickly.

I would say my LEAST favorite thing about Ableton is that I'm not sponsored by them yet. hahaha!!

The flexibility and adaptability for live workflows is outstanding, the warp and transpose features, plus the auto trigger functions are something I can't do without!

The interface isn't great, and depending on your sample structures the requirements on disk and memory are a bit overblown.

Ableton has made producing and remixing super easy and fast for me. I has allowed me to quickly write my ideas in steps and arrange them into full songs.

My least favorite thing about ableton live is the initial learning curve. Most DAW has a linear view and a piano roll that is parallel to the layout. Although I love the Ableton pattern view, it can be a little intimidating at first-glance.

I find Live and extremely intuitive DAW, features are where I expect them to be. It emphasises creatively and is hands down the best DAW for composition.

I have very few complaints, but some of the live audio manipulation struggles to live up to Pro Tools counterparts.

I am very impressed with the number of tasks I can do in the software without any glitches. I’ve used other music production software, and had crashes because I do unique instrument recording. This software is extremely reliable and flexible and offers for more options for a creative musician, or a music producer than others. It also plays nicely with third party plug-ins. Easy install. Instructions are readily available because it is so popular.

There was a bit of a learning curve coming to this software. I was a logic user who composes classical music. I wasn’t familiar with the layout, but in a short period of time I adjusted, and I’m very happy with the software. The other con is that it’s pricing is very high.

super user friendly i also like the way you can go into preferences and change the look and color or you work view both session and arrangement view

well again this software needs a step by step book with pictures , configurations, more of a 1. 2.3. approach

One of the great virtues of LIVE is that it has a large community of users! This allows you to find information on the WEB about any functionality or trick that is necessary. Regarding the functionalities, it has everything, surely much more than what we use on a daily basis. It is an excellent option!

Although I do not mention it as a con, LIVE is designed as its name indicates for a LIVE execution, the user interface is designed to fulfill that objective. In my specific case I use a DAW to make planned recordings with which I feel more comfortable with a traditional recording console style interface.

All the tools , all the option make you the possibility to create magical sounds

The interface is a little bit to dark for me

Ableton is the most versatile DAW I have ever used, whether it's only for tracks, or adding midi in/out cues anything I've ever wanted to do in a live worship environment has never been easier.

Their is a slight learning curve with Ableton due to how creative and custom you can be with inputs and outputs, but once the workflow is nailed down it becomes second natures. It can also sometimes be overwhelming with just how much you can do with Ableton.

Everything. The workflow is perfect. Everything is right in front of you and once you spend a little time with it, it will just keep showing you more and more. As far a production software goes, there is nothing better.

It has become pretty heavy on the CPU usage but I'm sure 90% of that is because of my computers.

Excellent for MIDI and instrument management

Mixing and Mastering features with some restriction in plugins compatibility

Really love the complexity to make lots of things for mixing, editing and the integration with other tools.

Not so intuitive when mapping non-MIDI instruments.

- Innovative Music creation method
- Amazing UX and UI
- MIDI control and mapping is quick and intuitive making for a very interactive and immersive music creations process
- A huge plus that one can use the same for both studio as well as allowing for the live performance of the music with just a few setting changes. Truly awesome

- Definitely needs a powerful CPU
- Expensive
- A big learning curve for those who move away from other DAWs for music production.
