Perfect for budding artists and music enthusiasts. Ableton Live 12 Suite is a great educational tool that can be used to demonstrate exciting new concepts to music and production. Teach students how to link and edit multiple tracks simultaneously, record separate takes from the same audio, use an MPE-capable controller for more expressive sounds, all while creating dynamic textures simultaneously.

Ableton Live 12 is a flexible and multifaceted software created for music creation and live shows. The software provides a diverse selection of effects, instruments, sounds, and creative tools that allow users to create music across all genres.

Use Live's extensive array of instruments and effects to craft distinctive sounds, or customise pre-made Packs to generate new creations. The software's real-time features and extensive customisation options make it ideal for live performances and interactive applications, regardless of your configuration.

Organise your music in Live 12 by use the linear Arrangement View for sequencing or the Session View for improvising and exploring ideas freely without adhering to a fixed timeline. Modify the tempo and timing of audio in real time with Live's warping feature without interrupting the music. Utilise Live's innovative tools to elevate your performance, generate fresh concepts, or convert impromptu instances into music through the recording of MIDI or live instruments, vocals, or other sounds. Use MIDI Transformations to modify patterns and MIDI Generators to generate new notions for your compositions. Use Sound Similarity to identify presets and sounds that closely like the ones you are currently working on.

Live 12 introduces advanced MIDI transformations and generators, sound similarity, adaptable tuning systems, improved keys and scales, new devices (Roar, Meld’s Twin sound engines, and Granulator III), enhanced MIDI editor, improved workflow, better accessibility and navigation, and new packs including Performance Pack, Lost and Found collection, and two drum packs from Sound Oracle.
