Ableton Live 7 is the revolutionary music production solution that allows you to spontaneously compose, record, remix, improvise and edit your musical ideas in a seamless audio/MIDI environment. Live brings your acoustic, electronic and virtual instruments—as well as your digital audio recordings and MIDI sequences—together in a single interface with unparalleled ease of use. In short, Live lets you focus on what really matters: your music.
Lives award-winning elastic audio sequencing lets you record, import, arrange and process multiple audio clips and loops into complete songs regardless of their pitch or tempo—all in real time while the music continues. You can even change tempo and pitch of audio independently after the fact—and clip envelopes create endless loop variations. Of course, you can also integrate linear tape-style recording along with your loops. With Live 7, Ableton’s unique approach to music production extends to a new paradigm in MIDI sequencing and manipulation as well, complete with virtual instruments. As simple to use as it is powerful, Live 7 is a completely unique musical tool that blurs the distinction between stage and studio.
“Every now and then, a program redefines what music software is all about. Live is that kind of program. Its ability to record your performance for later editing successfully bridges the gap between stage and studio.” — Craig Anderton
"There are few pieces of software I would recommend as highly as Live. It's a thoroughbred looping tool, a solid recording application, a laptop performance platform, and a resampling demon. It's also flat-out fun to use… if you are not yet a Live user—well, I kind of feel bad for you." — Home Recording
