sorry to be obvious, but www.Ableton.com there's quite an apt description on the site.
Otherwise, you could say it's a Midi sequencer, VST host, with a very sexy audio "warp" engine capable of immense flexibility including applications such as composition/production of music, LIVE performance of it, live remixing, mashing up, dj'ing.. etc.. it's just the absolute BOMB!!! |

Hi Guys,
Great thread. I've had a bit of experience with LIVE. Its an amazing tool, and I also get to see Sasha use it once a month here in LA, as he has a residency here.
From a DJ perspective - its a way to play DJ sets live. You essentially have the software on your laptop and have (ideally) a firewire drive with AIF or WAV files of all of your tracks. Then you simply drag and drop your tracks into different channels on LIVE and the software does the rest, including beatmatch. This might sound bizarre since beatmatching is usually a common element of learning how to DJ, but LIVE actually goes well beyond that. You can cut, copy, paste, sections of audio for instant remixes, add VST effects to certain part of the song, and much more. All in all, its a very powerful tool that I think is going to completely rule the market in the coming years. |

I hated that essential mix, it sounded like one 2 hour long prog mix [as in a mix between two songs, not a mix as in set], but that being said I'd still like to see what this setup can do.
Somehow, I find it hard to believe that you can create great music on the spot, but the hype surrounding this thing makes me wanna see the extent of these 'on the fly' things as well as how user friendly it is. |

Hey man,
muchly appreciate tha offer, however at the moment (for the last 6 months) I'm packin one of these:
http://m-audio.com/products/en_us/F...phile-main.html
which doesn't quite offer the compactness of that lil sucker, but can be used with a a desktop, and has it's own control knob assignable to the virtual mixer and has 1/4 inch jacks.. and the reliability I have come to cling to from M-Audio. Having said this, compactness is a BIG factor, and I've heard good stuff about the echo indigo range quality wise, so hmm?!?!... |
