Ableton Live 7 is your companion during every stage of the musical process, from creation to production to performance. Version 7 renews the core of Live: The enhanced audio engine improves fidelity with 64 -bit mix summing, POW-r dithering, optimized sample -rate conversion and other advances. The new compressor device integrates three compression models, one of which is based on a feedback design commonly found in the most praised vintage compressors. Fully integrated side-chaining capability is available for the new Compressor as well as Gate and Auto Filter. High-Quality modes have been added to Operator, Dynamic Tube and Saturator for anti-aliased processing, reducing typical "digital" artifacts. EQ Eight has an improved user interface and a 64 bit mode for increased accuracy. The new Spectrum analyzer provides visual feedback for any audio signals within Live. The MIDI engine has been reworked to minimize timing error (jitter) of recorded MIDI. Hardware integration has been streamlined¿hardware synthesizers and effects can now be inserted into device chains just like software plug-ins. New memory management technology allows users of large sample libraries, such as Ableton's new sampled instruments or third-party libraries imported via Sampler, to run an impressive number of instruments at the same time. This happens automatically, with no setup changes required. New Audio and MIDI fact sheets explain exactly how signals are (or are not) being modified when using specific features in Live and provide tips for achieving the highest quality results. Live 7 brings the features most frequently requested by Live's users: Time signature changes can be inserted in the Arrangement timeline and tied to Session scenes. Warped and unwarped video can be exported to files. Multiple automation lanes per track can be displayed and edited at the same time. A new "tempo nudge" function makes it easier to synchronize to live musicians or DJs. REX files can be dragged, dropped and played just like WAV or AIFF files. Live, Operator and Sampler have received many small improvements and additions based on users' requests. The new "Drum Rack" streamlines beat production via an easy drag-and-drop interface and brings endless creative possibilities: A familiar drum pad interface allows dragging and dropping of samples, instruments and effects. Every pad can have its own Sampler, Simpler, Operator, or any other virtual instrument or plug-in, and its own individual effects chain. The slicing feature fills a Drum Rack with the individual hits from REX or audio loops. The original sequence is represented as a MIDI clip, making it easy to replace, reshuffle or re-record the events and process them individually. A Drum Rack can have its own sends, returns and sub -mixes. Every pad can be shown as a mixer channel in the Session View. Each drum can be dragged out of its rack for isolated pattern control and editing. New Ableton Instruments The new add-on instruments are the result of Ableton's collaboration with leading industry partners. The palette covers physical models of electric pianos, analog synthesizers and string instruments as well as multi-mic/multi-layer sampled acoustic drums, and drum machines. The instruments integrate tightly with Live, both in terms of workflow and resource management. Tension is a physical modeling string synthesizer based on the advanced technology found in String Studio from Applied Acoustics Systems (AAS). Through the use of mathematical models, Tension simulates each component of a stringed instrument. Tweak everything from how the string is played¿with a pick, bow or hammer¿to the size and type of instrument body used. Create incredibly accurate reproductions of real instruments or design otherworldly hybrids, all within Live's familiar working environment. Electric offers the much sought-after sounds of classic electric pianos. Based on AAS' acclaimed Lounge Lizard, Electric uses the same advanced physical modeling synthesis technology and integrates perfectly into Live's workflow. Because Electric uses synthesis, users can dive inside and play with the guts of the instrument¿the hammers, tines, pickups and more¿to achieve just that right amount of melancholy or bark and bite.
Bless for the post. Each time try to install and extract the exe file. it tells me i need a cd. How can I work around this? Each of the zipped folder has an exe. Help plzz!
