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 employs two views, the Session View and the Arrangement View, which offer different ways of working to suit your needs. These views interact in a way unique to Live allowing music creation, production and performance possible in a single application.
Session View
Live’s Session View acts as a musical sketch and launch pad, allowing 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.
