Live 7 - Reviews - Music Tech Magazine

With new features geared towards studio tasks, is version 7 of Ableton’s traditionally performance-centric Live moving into new territory? Jon Margulies finds out...

Price: £369.00
Manufacturer: Ableton
Website: http://www.ableton.com

Unless you’ve been living in a cave for the last few years, you’ll know that Ableton’s Live is the program responsible for turning the music-production world upside down with its unique approach to time manipulation and its instrument-like feel. No longer the new kid on the block, Live is now the centrepiece of many a performer’s and producer’s arsenal of tools.

I found this program to be ESPECIALLY helpful. Thanks for a great review, it seems that this will be the program I will purchase tomorrow. I need a program that is EASY as you stated in your review, and that is exactly what I want.
I don't have years to learn a new program and I had trouble with Sonar's Homestudio program that I had a few years ago, and finallly gave up on it.
Thanks for ta great review.
