What Ableton Live 12 Standard Is For
Live 12 Standard is a versatile DAW for composing, recording, editing, and mixing audio/MIDI projects, as well as live performance. Its Session View encourages experimentation and clip triggering, while the Arrangement View offers precise editing, smooth comping, and advanced automation?from initial sketch to final render.
Main Features
Fast ideation and guided composition
New scale and key tools help you stay in harmony, while similar sound search, custom tags, and browser history speed up preset and sample selection. The 12 MIDI transformations (Arpeggiate, Span, Connect, Recombine, Strum, Rhythm, Time Warp, etc.) instantly generate musical variations.
Performance and expressiveness
Tempo following automatically syncs to an incoming signal for flexible live sets. MPE support enables slides, polyphonic aftertouch, and per-note modulation. Note and velocity probability add movement to your patterns.
Advanced audio editing
Audio/MIDI comping, parallel editing of linked tracks, real-time warping (Complex mode), pitch shifting, and slicing to Drum Rack or Simpler. The Audio to MIDI feature quickly captures the essence of a sample as playable notes.
