Step into computer-based music with more fun
and less hassle. Live 6 LE provides a simple interface and the
pro-level features you need for recording, songwriting, producing,
remixing and DJing.
The Live Concept
Live offers two main views—the Session View and
the Arrangement View—that interact in a powerful and unique way,
allowing you to create, produce and perform your music all in a single
application. Here is the principle behind each view:
Session View
Live's Session View acts as a musical sketch
and launch pad, encouraging you to try out new ideas and improvise
freely. Each cell in the Session View grid can hold a loop, recording,
MIDI file, complete song or any other musical element. These ideas can
be recorded on the fly or dragged in from the Browser, combined and
played in any order you wish.
Arrangement View
The Arrangement View offers a timeline-based
approach for traditional recording, MIDI sequencing, arranging, editing
and other musical production tasks. And when you improvise in the
Session View, all of your actions can be recorded into the Arrangement
View, where they can be edited and perfected whenever you like.
