Likelihood to Recommend Ableton Live is a perfect fit for loop-based music like electronic music of all varieties. It is especially suited to minimal techno and IDM, but is really suitable for any style of music that relies extensively on loops and samples. Ableton Live is also well-suited for sequencing out loop-based music through its Live view, while the Composer view allows for enough arranging features that you can take a song from concept to completion fairly easily. Ableton Live is less well-suited for fully recorded music that has no sample-based or looping components. It is less well-suited for non-electronic genres, although it is perfectly fine, but many of the features would not be useful or necessary in these cases.

And captions provide a company the ability to expand the group of people who can access their products. We put a lot of our training in courses created in
Kajabi . Rev offers burned-in and .srt files, so the .srt files are perfect for
Kajabi ! We are only a US-based company right now, but it can help with accessibility with language barriers too because Rev offers captions in SOOOO many different languages
Read full review Pros Session View: This is the biggest advantage of Ableton. It provides you this view in which you can create different tracks for the same part of the song. For example:- If you are making the chorus of the song, you can save one thread. Now if you want to try and listen to a different drum set in a new thread, you can simply do that and listen to the new track while preserving the older one. Once you are satisfied with what you're listening, simple record the same in arrangement view and you are done. You can switch to the arrangement view and listen to the final song. Pre-installed instruments and loops:- Ableton's library which is included with the software itself while you purchase it is amazing. I bet you will ever need third-party plugins for it. It comes loaded with hundreds of loops and number of instruments which are completely professional and free to use. Amazing Graphical User Interface:- Even if you're a beginner in this field, Ableton can be learned within a few hours. The basic functionality of this software is very easy to understand and use. Of course, advanced stuff comes with practice but the basic functioning can be learned and within a few hours you are producing your own music.

I feel like they're helping me success by giving me tools I can use in my daily work.
Read full review Alternatives Considered I cannot say that the other programs listed aren't capable. They surely are. But for what I do and my workflow environment, Ableton suits my needs better. I know a lot of people that use
Pro Tools and Logic Pro. They are both very powerful programs. I have knowledge of how to use them all. Going into different studios and collaborating with people, you need to know at least the basics of them all. But for me and my studio, we will continue to primarily use Ableton for the foreseeable future.

Read full review Return on Investment Ableton Live allows me to rapidly sequence multitrack music as needed, without getting stuck at any step of the process. Ableton Live also allows me to quickly export or upload to SoundCloud for easy sharing. This is a big time-saver. The only negative ROI I can think of is the cost. There are competitors like Reaper that are much more affordable and have many of the same features.
