Product Description

This specially priced Education Edition of Ableton Live 8 lets educators show students the capabilities of a professional music production software used by many artists who create and share their music. One of the ways Ableton Live 8 software gives songwriters and DJ's the advantage, especially in the live setting, is its two main views which allow all work to be done within a single application. The Session View is essentially a musical scratch pad. Ideas can be worked out and you can improvise in a free and easy environment. Each cell in the Session View grid can hold a recording, MIDI file, or any other musical idea, whether they're recorded on the spot or dragged in from the browser. Then you can play your ideas in any order or any time you wish. The Arrangement View takes a more traditional, timeline-based approach to multitrack recording, MIDI sequencing, and other music production tasks. It will record all your actions as you improvise in the Session View, allowing you to edit them whenever you like. Either view is simple and basic enough to make your tasks simple and efficient, which is especially useful during a live performance. This makes the software a perfect tool for studios, beat creators, DJs, sound designers, and anyone who wants to create music in a fun and easy way. Version 8 enhances Ableton software's vision of creative, real-time digital music with a wealth of improved techniques, effects, and workflow improvements: New groove engine Groove patterns can add life and swing to straight sequences. Live 8's new groove engine lets you apply groove patterns in real time, extract grooves from audio or MIDI sources, and quantize audio and MIDI in real time. It also comes with a new groove library. New warping engine Live 8 Education Edition introduces a more direct way of working with warping and some important Warp Mode enhancements. You can now warp audio events by adjusting the events themselves on the timeline. Beats Mode has been updated, and ther

This is a great deal it's actually cheaper here that on the Ableton website! YOU NEED TO BE A STUDENT TO DO THIS. I dont know what this guy above is smokin. This is very clear. You just need to read in order to know what you are talking about.
I ordered this education boxed version and it arrived just like anything else you order via Amazon. I sent my education verification LIKE IT SAID TO DO via email, and they sent me a code that activated my software....just like that! This is legit just do a little reading before making an ass of yourself. BTW, this is my first program like this and it is amazingly user freindly. The tutorials are very helpful. When I called tech support I got on the line quick and someone very knowledgable ABOUT MAKING MUSIC helped me out.

I use it for Remixing and adding mic inputs to create my own drops. I had to show proof of my student status to both the seller and ableton via email.

I was debating between Live and Logic Pro and I decided to stick with Live for two reasons: I hate all those pop up windows when I need to use synths or do stuff and I can do more remixing and post-production music. The second reason was i can use this application with rane serato (Bridge) and it is opens up even more musical posibilities.
