What Ableton Live 12 Standard Is For
Live 12 Standard is a versatile DAW for composing, recording, editing, and mixing music, as well as for live performance. Session View accelerates experimentation, remixing, and launching variations, while Arrangement View offers detailed editing, smooth comping, and advanced automation, from the first sketch to the final render ready for distribution.
Main Features
Quick Ideation and Guided Composition
Stay in key with scale and harmony tools. The redesigned browser offers similar sound search, custom tags, and history to instantly find presets and samples. The 12 MIDI transformations (Arpeggiate, Span, Connect, Recombine, Strum, Rhythm, Time Warp, etc.) generate inspiring musical variations with one click.
Performance and Expressiveness
Tempo following automatically aligns to an external source for flexible sets.
MPE support brings slides, polyphonic aftertouch, and per-note modulation. Note and velocity probability inject movement into your patterns, while Capture locks inspiration without interrupting the flow.
Advanced Audio Editing
Enjoy audio/MIDI comping, parallel editing of linked tracks, and real-time warping (Complex mode) to reshape timing. Transform sources into playable material with "Audio to MIDI," or slice directly to Drum Rack and Simpler for immediate sound design.
