ABLETON LIVE 8 UPGRADE FROM LIVE LE (FOR REGISTERED LIVE 6 LE USERS
ONLY)
New in Ableton Live 8
Version 8 enhances the Ableton vision of creative, real-time digital music
with a wealth of new techniques, effects and most-wanted workflow improvements.
New groove engine - Groove patterns can add life and swing
to straight sequences. Live 8's new groove engine lets you apply groove patterns
in real time, extract grooves from audio or MIDI sources, quantize audio and
MIDI in real time. It also comes with a new groove library.
New warping engine - Live 8 introduces a new, more direct
way of working with warping and some important Warp Mode enhancements. You can
now warp audio events by adjusting the events themselves on the timeline. Beats
Mode has been updated, and there's a completely new Complex Warp Mode. Plus you
can slice audio files to MIDI tracks based on transients.
Looper - A much-requested feature, the Ableton Looper effect
gives you classic sound-on-sound looping without the limitations of a hardware
device. Looper is set up for remote operation, so you can record, overdub, undo
and more without touching the computer.
New effects - Live 8 includes five powerful new effects:
Vocoder, Multiband Dynamics, Overdrive, Limiter and Frequency Shifter. These
effects cover all the well-known aspects of these devices, but really shine due
to some innovative features and enhancements from the Ableton labs.
Workflow enhancements - Version 8 makes Live easier with a
number of most-wanted enhancements and some deceptively simple detail work
including real-time crossfades in the Arrangement View, enhanced MIDI editing,
group tracks, a screen magnifier and more.
