Ableton Live 8 – The Line Marches On

Ableton Live 8 – An Excellent Bit Of Music Software

Ableton Live 8 since it’s birth in 2001 has been something of an enigma in the world of music production software. It has long been accepted as one of the most reliable and efficient tools for professional quality music production, but it has somehow managed to evade the notoriety that is so often afforded to many of it’s competitors. Some have questioned whether this almost flawless record has come at the cost of some of the bite of the others, the ghost in the machine as it were.

Initially designed solely for music recording, the production aspect of the software has perhaps been the surprise package of the series, coming into it’s own and arguably overshadowing the recording studio aspect. The loop based synthesizer system very much represents this some would say paradigm changing development. It could be argued that it represents a mechanization of the music.

This ability to easily include software synthesizers and effects from other developers is one of Abletons key strengths. Compatibility issues are virtually unheard of and no special software is needed to use plugins be they VST, Reason, Cubase or any of the other major formats. Again the process is incredibly simple and knowledge of computers or music software is not required at all.

The versatility of the software with regards to plugins is also taken care of automatically with no need for previous knowledge of music software or even computers users can learn how to make and record their music in a matter of hours. The interface has managed to main it’s simplicity despite the ever increasing number of features is a testament to the software.

As a complete studio this piece of software also delivers excellent results, allowing musicians to easily record and edit their work. Much easier than a 4 track or analogue recording device, the incredibly intuitive interface makes it a matter of childsplay to record and edit your work. Sounds are automatically converted into easily editable files which can be edited and played around with just like you would with any digital file.

Perhaps the main strength of Ableton is it’s incredibly simple interface allowing users to learn the basics in under an hour even without any experience of music software. The tutorial is very well put together and it will only take a couple of afternoons to learn all of the basics of recording and editing.

As a tool for live performance it is also developing into a serious option which can be used by DJs simply to mix music or as an instrument itself with specialized controllers which allowing fast access to hundreds of samples which can be mixed and edited on the fly producing some incredible sets and pieces of music. It is also a fairly safe platform with crashes and bugs incredibly rare. This was a complaint often made about earlier versions but with this edition they seem to finally have all of the crashes and bugs ironed out of the system.

Ableton Live 8 continues the series rich tradition of providing excellent all round Best DJ Software giving you incredibly intuitive and effective control over your art as a live performance tool or recording studio. You can search online for other best DJ equipment.
