It is ableton live 9 suite manual pdf free download used by DJs, as it offers a suite of controls for beatmatching, crossfading, and other different effects used by turntablists, and was one of the first music applications to automatically beatmatch songs. Live is available in three versions. Intro, Standard, and Suite. The current version of Live is 'Ableton Live 10'. Ableton co-founders Gerhard Behles, Robert Henke, and Bernd Roggendorf developed Live from homemade software Behles and Henke had created to facilitate their live music performances as Monolake, releasing the first version of Live in as commercial software.

A great deal of effort has been put into making Live easy and fun to use, yet at the same time capable of helping you create music with unlimited depth and sophistication.
Live utilizes audio sample or MIDI sequences, referred to as Clips, which are arranged to be played live i. These clips can be arranged into scenes which can then be triggered as a unit. For instance a drum, bass and guitar track might comprise a single scene. When moving on to the next scene, which may feature a synth bassline, the artist will trigger the scene, activating the clips for that scene.
The Arrangement View offers a horizontal music production timeline of Clips that is more similar to a traditional software sequencer interface.
The Arrangement View is used for recording tracks from the session view and further manipulating their arrangement and effects. It is also used for manual MIDI sequencing. The Intro ableton live 9 suite manual pdf free download of Live includes four instruments Impulse, Simpler, Instrument Rack, and Drum Rack and the Standard version of Live additionally includes External Instrument, with users having the option to purchase additional instruments.
By contrast, Live Suite ableton live 9 suite manual pdf free download all available instruments. Ableton also has available a selection of Add-on Sample Packs with which a user can expand the sound libraries for their instruments.

Most of Live's effects are already common effects in the digital signal processing world which have been adapted to fit Live's interface. They are tailored to suit Ableton live 9 suite manual pdf free download target audience — electronic musicians and DJs - but may also be used for other recording tasks such as processing a guitar rig. In addition to the instruments mentioned above, Live can work with samples. Live attempts to do beat analysis of the samples to find their meter, number of bars and the number of beats per minute.
This makes it possible for Live to shift these samples to fit into loops that are tied into the piece's global tempo.
Additionally, Live's Time Warp ableton live 9 suite manual pdf free download can be used to either correct or adjust beat positions in the sample.
By setting warp markers to a specific point in the sample, arbitrary points in the sample can be pegged to positions in the measure. For instance a drum beat that fell ms after the midpoint in measure may be adjusted so that it will be played back precisely at the midpoint. Some artists and online stores, such as The Covert Operators and Puremagnetik, now make available sample packs that are pre-adjusted, with tempo information and warp markers added.
The audio files are accompanied with an 'analysis file' in Live's native format. Almost all of the parameters in Live can be automated by envelopes which may be drawn either on clips, in which case they will be used in every performance of ableton live 9 suite manual pdf free download clip, or on the entire arrangement. The most obvious examples are volume or track panning, but envelopes are also used in Live to control parameters of audio devices such as the root note of a resonator or a filter's cutoff frequency.
Clip envelopes may also be mapped to MIDI controls, which can also control parameters in real-time using sliders, faders and such. Using the global transport record function will also record changes made to these parameters, creating an envelope for them.
Much of Live's interface comes from being designed for use in live performance as well as for production. Portions of the interface are hidden and shown based on arrows which may be clicked to show or ableton live 9 suite manual pdf free download a certain segment e.
