Ableton Live is a software with which you'll develop musical ideas, turn them into finished songs and bring them to the stage. With the effects, instruments, sounds and numerous functions included in Live, you'll have everything you need to make any type of music.

Organize your ideas along a timeline in Arrangement View or improvise freely in Live's Session View. Warping allows you to change the tempo and timing of audio in real time - without stopping the music. Record MIDI, physical instruments, vocals, or other audio, and use Live's creative features to polish your performance, develop new ideas, or turn spontaneous moments into music.

Create your own sound using Live's wide selection of instruments and effects, and shape something new from a diverse collection of curated Packs. Because Live makes changes in real time and is fully customizable, it's also perfect for improvising on stage and just playing away - adapt the software to your needs, not the other way around.
