Undoubtedly, in the same type of Digital Audio Workstation software, the one that can hold the vast user support for such a long time is really rare. Ableton Live can be described as the “4+ years of grinding sword”, because its Live 8’s release has to date back to 2009. Fortunately, Ableton Live came with many earth-shaking improvements.

As a well-known, professional, powerful and easy to use music production software, Ableton Live of Ableton company from Germany is specially designed for music creation, live performance, composing, recording, arranging, mixing and mastering. It supports for DX, VST plug-ins and real-time effects, and has done a lot of optimizations for dance music, so as to be especially suitable post-production for dance music.

In particular, because Ableton Live combined the audio sequencer and live control method perfectly, it quickly became one of the most popular few software for live musicians, including studio music men.
