The Ableton Upgrade from Intro to Live 9 Suite (Professional) is a solid update to the company's think different DAW software that is particularly popular with electronic and beat making creators. Two GUI views include a traditional, vertical-track display with time moving from left to right (Arrangement View), while the Session View is a place for experimentation that provides room for improvising, playing and performing with musical ideas without the constraints of the timeline.The top of the line version includes 9 instruments, 40 effects, over 3,000 sounds, along with Max for Live with its 24 Instruments and effects and further access to over 900 devices. Aside from the particular way of presenting the creative process, the software also includes standard features such as unlimited multi-track recording with up to 32-bit/192 kHz resolution with nondestructive editing and unlimited undo. Essential automatic plug-in delay compensation is available, along with multiple automation lanes and track freezing for conserving DSP.Warping and real-time, time-stretch processing can be applied to any clips and unlimited instruments, audio effects and MIDI effects can be utilized per project. MIDI sequencing, remote control instant mapping and MIDI output to hardware MIDI devices allows the software to play a central role in any studio situation.
