Uninterrupted Creative Flow

Record perfectly cut loops on the fly, mix and match audio of any tempo, and add effects, all without ever stopping the music: Everything happens in real time. Follow your inspiration and use your time more creatively, instead of spending it converting sample rates, calculating tempos, editing loops and routing complicated effect chains. Live keeps the music flowing and gives you back your creative time.

Browsing Ideas
Live's drag-and-drop interface makes it easy to realize your ideas and experiment. Just browse and instantly preview audio files at the project tempo, and then drag them in to mix and match while the music plays. No need to think about tempos, file formats, sample rates or bit depth—Live takes care of it all in real time.

Drag and Drop Effects and Instruments
Effects and instruments are also drag and drop, just like your files. Simply browse, drag and drop, and reorder Live's wide array of creative devices, all in real time, and without so much as a hiccup. Live also offers full support for your favorite VST and AU effects and instruments.

Random Access Loop Recording
Live's unique performance-oriented Session View offers new ways of working with your music. Capture those quick riffs and other ideas on the fly with quantized loop recording, and go directly from recording into looped playback with the press of a button. No editing required, just continue on to the next idea.

Deep Freeze
Even if things get a little heavy, with numerous tracks full of massive effects chains and virtual instruments, Live's freeze function keeps things flowing. Just deep freeze your track and retain the ability to experiment with editing, automation and more without unfreezing it.
