Overview

Ableton Live 7 is the latest installment in this amazing music software. From creation to production as well as performance, Live 7 is much more than a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation), it is also a MIDI Controller, a trigger device and a playable instrument. Live 7 offers many improvements and additions from the previous version (Live 6). In this tutorial, Cliff Truesdell demonstrates the creative potential of this software that has made it an essential tool for so many of today's musical artists.
