A different approach to making music
Whether
your entirely new to making music in any computer-based DAW or just new
to Live, you'll love the way that Ableton Live Intro approaches music
writing. Most DAWs work along a linear timeline, and while Ableton Live
can
record and play back along an overall timeline, it can also use loops
and scenes to depart sharply from this traditional approach. Each audio
or MIDI loop plays indefinitely until you tell it to stop.
When you
layout a series of loops that go well together, you can create a scene
from them. Ableton Live Intro allows you up to eight different scenes.
Each scene triggers a series of loops, but you can always trigger loops
manually outside of any scene, recombine them, and create new scenes.
And although you can trigger scenes to play in order, you can also go
back and trigger earlier scenes. By constantly being able to go back and
make changes, triggering different loops and finding new combinations,
you get a more musically-minded approach to creating music. When you're
ready to record, just arm your tracks and record your performance.
Break
out of the studio and take it live
Ableton Live's loop and scene
based method of approaching music composition adds a completely
different element to live DJing. Instead of spinning tracks, you can DJ
loops right out of live, assembling completely original music on the
fly. Already, the DJ world has jumped on Live and discovered thousands
of ways to use it, either on its own or together with DJ programs.
Because Ableton Live Intro offers complete ReWire support, it can beat
synch and transfer audio into many of the most popular DJ programs. You
don't even have to be a DJ to appreciate Live.
Many artists from a wide
range of music have been using Live's incredibly powerful MIDI engine
(which allows you to control almost all of its parameters to be
controlled via MIDI) to trigger backing tracks, loops, and sound effects
as they play.So, whether you use it on its own, together with other DJ
software, or as an accent for your live performance, there is a lot you
can do with Ableton Live Intro.
