This software introduced me to my first softsynths and plugin based architecture. In 2002 I outgrew the limitations of that tracker and upgraded to another free windows based tracker called "Buzz Tracker" (which is still available and a great option for cash strapped users). I started my introduction into computer based production in 1997 using a DOS based program called Fasttracker II.
Powerful MIDI sequencing of software and hardware instruments.
Nondestructive editing with unlimited undo.Multitrack recording up to 32-bit/192 kHz.Unique Session View for quick, intuitive composition, flexible performance and improvisation.The software has a massive list of great features but here are some of the main features as listed by Ableton: Pros: Very flexible, wide variaty of devices, MAX can expand on capabilities, API allows users to integrate almost anythingĬons: Some functions are missing which exist in other DAWs, company communication to users is somewhat poor. Live is by far my most used and loved production tool because it helped me easily migrate from the older tracker style software to a modern sequencer. Without rerunning over the history of DAWs we can now see almost a complete saturation of choice for a home producer with many users (myself included) owning several different software titles for different uses. For hobbyists and experimenters like myself you were limited to what was known as "Trackers" which were much more simple sample players often operating in DOS but also Free to use. Pro Tools and Cubase were the leading Mac and Windows software for producing music electronically but these were targeted at professional studios with price tags to match. I have been using DAW sequencers and "trackers" since 1996 and before discovering Fasttracker II through a school friend the image of owning software for creating music was one reserved only for the real professionals. In recent years the software has expanded in capabilities to become both a full Live performance tool and studio production workstation and with the release of a dedicated Live controller (The Push) the lines between a computer software sequencer and a hardware instrument are ever more blurred. Ableton Live (or just Live as it's known) is a digital audio workstation where its initial focus was on performing Live.
