  Ableton Live 4 Review - MacMusic
Live is a software package from Ableton designed for audio sequencing, recording, and processing with a focus on -you guessed it -"live, loop-based performance".
Live consists of one main window, of which the majority is dedicated to the Document Area -which shows either the Session View, or with a simple click of the Tab key -the Arrange View.
In Live 4 you can set up which inputs and outputs of you audio interface you want Live to identify in the preferences pane (both mono and stereo) and from then on they will always be available to you when you are ready to select an input for a track.

 Ableton Live - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Relative to other software sequencers, Live is designed around the notion of being as much an instrument for live performances as a tool for composing and arranging.
Live was rewritten in C++ as a commercial piece of software, and the first version was released in 2001.
Ableton Live 6 is priced at 599 USD/549 EUR with a lower price for students, and users upgrading from a previous version.

 Ableton Live and the death of the DJ | overstated
Ask any live electronic musician what they use to perform, and they’ll probably respond with something along the lines of, “I play Live… er, I mean Live with Ableton Live.” The two things, performing live and using Ableton to do so are almost synonymous, and confusingly so since they are both the same word.
Right now Ableton Live has almost 100% of the live electronic performance market, and with the introduction of their new version (4.0), they have started to push their way into the music production market.
Live was built to be a performance tool, and they have 4 years of a head start on many of these new tools.

Ableton Live is the music-production solution that allows you to spontaneously compose, record, remix, improvise and edit your musical ideas.
Live brings your acoustic, electronic and virtual instruments, as well as your digital audio recordings, together in a single interface with unparalleled ease of use.
While Live 1.5 was good at modifying the loop from the outside, with effects, filters, and envelopes, Live 3.0 goes a huge step further by letting you control your samples and loops from the inside.

 Ableton Live 1.0
Live's effects can be inserted pre- or post-channel (fader), assigned to an aux bus or applied to the overall (master) mix.
Note: Ableton recommends testing all foreign VST plug-ins at home first in a variety of situations (before you drop them in at the gig) because of the wide range of developers, applications and situations beyond Ableton's control and testing budget.

 Ableton Live 4
Live is essentially a hard disk-based audio player and recorder that takes advantage of today's fast processor speeds and disk access times, and combines them with some blistering time-stretch ('warping') algorithms to deliver what can only be described as an astonishingly fast, innovative and intuitive tool to compose, arrange and play music.
Live comes with a single-user multi-platform licence, which means that you are allowed to use your software on only one machine at a time, but you are allowed to install it on more than one machine.
Live's MIDI is great for simple, pattern-based music such as is found in most dance styles, while people who want to be able to approach the subject from a more musicianly point of view will want to stick to Sibelius or Logic.

Live 5 offers new Phaser and Flanger devices, both modeled after classic '70s guitar effects and augmented with a beat-synced LFO (with variable waveforms) and a unique envelope follower function.

 DJzone DJ Magazine :: Ableton Live Exposed!
Live's use in the studio was best described to me as “It will do things that loads of other software out there do, in a fraction of the time.” and it couldn't have been better said.
Using Live's clip view your song is arranged so that each track has various different clips of audio or midi in them, and they can be mixed and matched around with other tracks, being able to listen to different arrangements on the fly.
Live allows you to assign tracks to a built in crossfader just like a DJ mixer, and with a multiple output sound card you can even monitor one side while the other is playing, just like a mixer.

 Remix reviews Ableton Live 6 | Remix review of the Ableton Live 6
Live 6 comes programmed with the default settings for most of the popular MIDI controllers (more are on the way).
Live 6 also offers soft takeover and controller pickup modes, in which a knob will not adjust the value of the parameter it controls until it physically crosses over that value, helping eliminate jumpy-knob syndrome.
Ableton added a new Temporary Folder that allows samples in Simpler, Impulse and Sampler to be hot-swapped just like effect presets, and a powerful new Merging function allows entire Live Sets to be dragged from the File Browser directly into an open Live Set.

 Ableton Live 5.2 Reviews. Arts & music Reviews by CNET.
You could say that Ableton Live is lucky to hold the middle ground between entry-level music makers such as Apple's GarageBand and high-end professional products such as the venerable Logic Pro, but Live got there by making its own luck.
Live veterans won't find much different about version Ableton Live 5.2's interface, but people used to other music-editing programs might blink at the unusual layout.
Live's creators, in fact, constantly go the extra mile to explain what could be a confusing app and get newcomers in on the fun; Live comes with a seven-lesson built-in tutorial, and the Ableton Web site has four excellent QuickTime movies.

 Create Digital Music » Ableton Live
Ableton isn’t in the comfortable position of selling computers as well as software, as Apple is (to say nothing of phones or, erm, pods), but I imagine this will still make this a slightly tougher sell, at least on the Mac.
If you’ve been waiting to take the plunge with Ableton Live but couldn’t quite shell out the cash, Ableton wants to talk to you: the new Ableton Live LE runs US$149-199 and includes a pretty significant portion of the features in the full version.
This is not “Live Lite”, the stripped-down version that is bundled with many software interfaces (and has only recently started to catch up in version numbers).

Live’s intuitive interface remains unintimidating for spontaneous exploration, but there is vastness to explore in here, and so the in-built tutorials accessible right from within the menu will help most users grasp some of this application’s amazing potential.
Ableton also have a thriving forum dedicated to Live, and as a measure of it’s popularity, have inspired a buzzing network of external forums, bulletin boards, blogs and professional tutorial CDs available to tap into online.
If new to Live 6, this is definitely the best it has been, and represents a great time to dive in.

Live's default appearance is mostly gray with lime green highlights.
Live's stock plug-ins are decent and seem particularly suited for composing electronic and loop-flavored music — the type of music you're most likely to compose with Live.
Live gave me little to complain about, which is surprising considering that it was introduced so recently.

 Ableton LIVE 24-Bit Recording Software (Macintosh and Windows) from zZounds.com
Live's fundamental ground was architectured around audio manipulation, not handling midi.
I think Live has crashed only twice or thrice during my entire encounter span with it, that too when I was breaking the older versions in half using tons of cpu crunching VST plugins and massive (I mean massive) arrangements with ultra high quality audio.
Ableton Live 6 is the revolutionary music production software that allows you to spontaneously compose, record, remix, improvise and edit your musical ideas in a seamless audio/MIDI environment.

 Ableton Live 6 Reviews | Sweetwater.com
Before Live I compared everything to MIDIPaint...it worked in loops...it was intuitive...it was fast...it didn't get in the way...every other sequencer I worked with (especially in the past 5 years when they started to bloat) was always too complex and took too long to learn.
When I downloaded the Ableton Live 5.2 demo I was up and running in minutes and discovered a new creative energy that I hadn't had in years.
Ableton Live is not just for DJs - it's for serious musicians who want to get some real work done without fighting with their software.

 MacUser: Analysis: Features: Automating effects in Ableton Live 4
Using automation, you can set up effects so that they only poke their way into your track when they are needed and run and hide when they are not, allowing you to target specific sequences for manipulation.
The whole premise of Live is that it is a sequencer geared around performance, and it certainly lives up to it is name when it comes to adding automation to effects plug-ins.
Live makes it easy to add automation because not only can you record changes to plug-ins in real time, but you can also edit the data in minute detail after it has been recorded.

 O'Reilly -- Getting Started with Ableton Live
Live is set up to record loops, but you can record a whole song straight through if you’d like.
Live has everything from delays to bit-reduction effects, and you can also use Audio Unit (for Mac) or VST plug-ins you already have on your computer.
Live also allows you to midi map almost everything in the program, so if you have a playable midi controller(knobs help) than manipulating effects via midi, or triggering audio or midi events via midi really becomes more like playing an instrument.
