Something it does differently than other digital audio workstations on the market is the 'session view.' Creating clips and testing them on the fly feels a lot more like a performance instead of the tedious music creation process of working in a linear view that most other DAWs employ. Other things that make Live work well for me: - Easy sidechaining and routing options within the native plugins - Unlimited input channels for effects and signal processing. - The ability to route audio and record into another empty audio channel from a channel that has a vst or synth on it. - Very in depth Dj and performance tool. - Lives built in effects, synths and samplers are top notch. - It's among the most popular DAWs on the market, so there's tons of tutorials available all over the web to help you learn Live quickly\! > > **Cons**: There are a few complaints I have about Live, as a whole: - I wish they could set up better sidechaining for third party vst plugins. As it is now, sidechains are easy to set up with Live's native plugins but you need to complete a strange work around for any third party plugins. - The mixer could have a bit more functionality added to it such as, mixer snapshots so you can A/B mixes, VCA channels, and different panning modes. - Ableton Live recording could be better. Things like recording lanes and audio comping could improve the workflow. - Deeper midi would be great too. - One of the most expensive DAWs on the market. > > Live is my go to performance tool, when it comes to Djing, looping and liver performance. It's my secondary recording tool when I'm looking for inspiration, or a different work space. ----- ### "Ableton Live" — 5.0/5 > **Márton** | *18 February 2021* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: There aren't any limitation in this software. Your creativity can incrase as you learn to use it. I very reccomend it to newbie music producers to use Live, becouse you can compose your songs or beats in it, and then also you can build Live sets from your track. > > **Cons**: It's not an easy to use software at first lunch. You can lost in it when you start it first time, but there are many valuable tutorials all over the web. ----- ### "Complicated interface" — 4.0/5 > **james** | *30 October 2023* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: It has lots of tutorials online and good for sound design > > **Cons**: Confusing to look at and to understand compared to studio one ----- ### "Ableton Live, a Music Lab for creators. producers and composers" — 5.0/5 > **Alejandro** | *10 June 2022* | Music | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Works on Mac and PC. Plenty of resources such as loops, and patches for the included virtual instruments. Very CPU friendly. > > **Cons**: Lacks of in deep and very precise digital audio editing tools > > This is an awesome electronic music lab for today's creators. This is a must for any involved in beatmaking, urban generes, and any other style that requires looping and virtual instruments programming. I have been using for years and last version is so powerful. ----- ### "Easy to use DAW, best for composition" — 5.0/5 > **Guillaume** | *19 August 2022* | Music | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to manipulate audio, sketch ideas, compose and arrange > > **Cons**: Not convenient for mixing and mastering, other DAW do it better ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ie/software/2035563/live?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ie/software/2035563/live) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
