Live organizes multiple passes of an audio or MIDI performance into individual takes. Pick the best moments of each performance and combine them to create your perfect take. Or approach sound design in a new way by splicing together random samples from your library. Link two or more tracks to edit their content simultaneously. This makes editing multi-tracked instruments or performances with multiple musicians easy and fast whilst keeping everything in time across tracks. This feature also works for MIDI tracks. Plug in your MPE-capable controller and immediately add bends, slides and pressure for each individual note in a chord. Add subtle expression variations, morph between chords and create evolving sonic textures. MPE stands for MIDI Polyphonic Expression. This way of using MIDI allows MPE-capable devices to control multiple parameters of every note in real-time for more expressive instrumental performances.

    "A Standard in Music Industry "

    Posted 2024-10-27

    Pros: If you are a power Pro Tools user you can work in all recording and mixing studios all over the world, and in many Mastering studios. Audio Suites offline plugins are so useful! Automation, mixer routing, precision of the plugin-delay-compensation, absolute clear user interface

    Cons: If you don't know at least 100 shortcuts you probably need more time. Insertion of the plugins is similar to Cubase, Nuendo, Logic, while should be similar to Ableton Live and PreSonus Studio One.

    Overall: A great DAW, used by the most of the professional engineers around the world, so is the standard in Audio and Music.

    "Wrecked my laptop"

    Posted 2020-12-25

    Pros: Nothing, after the first reboot of the installation blue screen of death. Needed to reinstall my laptop.

    Cons: Everything, it ruined my laptop without even the possibility to recover.

    Overall: It is just crap software. Keep away from this software, it was bundled with an Alesis V-mini.
