Sequencer Directed Live

Live is an audio sequencer which you can play like an instrument. It allows you to bring together audio material from various sources. All the samples used are adjusted to the tempo of the song in real time without changing the pitch...

When slicing an audio Clip to a Sampler based slicing preset, all slices would be assigned to the same root note.
Simpler's playhead could jump unexpectedly when starting the transport while playing back warped samples.
Dragging a selection of an arrangement clip into Simpler now sets the start and end flags according to the selection.

Fixes a crash which might happen in conjunction with Complex / Pro modes.
Live could hang at launch while displaying the splash screen on Windows 10.
The modulation destinations for the new legacy filters in Simpler and Operator are now hidden and updated correctly when upgrading a device.
Improved the CPU performance of Complex and Pro when playing back short loops. Note that while Clip loops are limited to at least 1/16 note in length, simpler loops can be as small as 50 samples.
Live would crash when cropping samples in Sampler.
Live v 9.5 Nov 5, 2015 Windows
Improvements and feature changes:

Improved Waveforms: these now look smooth during zoom operations as well as during recording.
Improved meters: the track volume meters now show both peak and RMS levels.
Improved colouring: tracks are now automatically coloured, and new Clips take their track’s color.
The ‘Auto assign Clip Color’ preference is replaced by ‘Auto assign Track Color’, which determines if a newly created track gets a color from the song's color sequence assigned or a fixed color chosen by the user.
Simpler has been completely overhauled with a new interface, Warping, slicing, and new analog modelled filters build in conjunction with Cytomic.
New analog-modeled filters based on classic vintage hardware models capable of self resonating, feedback and distortion are added to Simpler/Sampler, Auto Filter and Operator.
The Core Library has been updated with new Drum Kits and new presets for Simpler, Operator, Analog, Auto Filter and Audio Effect Racks.
Audio Effect Racks now load with devices hidden.
Sets created with 9.5 will not be openable in pre-9.5 versions of Live. When trying to Save a set created with a previous version in 9.5, a dialog will appear and it will only be possible to Save under a different name.
Added the option "Preserve Warped Timing" in the Slice to new MIDI track dialog.
A breakout view is added for Simpler. The breakout view can only be displayed when Simpler has a valid sample
The Warped waveform is displayed accordingly in Simpler.
Added a button in the Simpler breakout which warps the region between the sample's start and end markers as a certain number of bars.
Added 1/2 and x2 warped length buttons in Simpler.
Added One Shot mode in Simpler.
Slicing mode has been added to Simpler. When active, all transients between start and end flags will be used for generating the slices
It is now possible to normalize a sample via a context menu option by right clicking on Simpler's waveform.
Added the possibility to slicing to a Drum Rack from Simpler.
A sample volume control (Gain) is now added to Simpler.
When loading a Simpler, Auto Filter or Operator preset created with a previous Live version, the devices will work in legacy mode, in order to preserve the original sound. An “Upgrade button” will activate the new filters. The filters will be automatically upgraded if these were not active in the preset.
Drum pads inherit Warp on/off when slicing a Simpler to Drum Rack.
If Simpler in Slicing mode is set to one voice only of if its playback mode is set to “mono”, choke is activated once converted to a Drum Rack.
Added Trigger or Gate mode for Samples in One Shot/Slice Modes
It is now possible to reverse a sample in Simpler via a context menu option.
Creating a multi selection for a number of chains in a Drum Rack enables setting the choke group for all chains at once.
When instantiating a plug-in, up to 64 parameters get configured automatically now.
A parameter configuration can now be saved as a default per AU or VST plug-in. This is done via a new context menu entry available in Live's plug-in device. The default configurations are stored in a "Plug-In Configurations" folder under "User Library/Defaults".
Improved performance when drawing waveforms for large sets with many clips.
Introduced a limitation to how many time a sample can be sped up or slowed down via ":2" or "x2" respectively, in order to save CPU power.
Improved the automation smoothing for the new filters in Simpler, Operator and Auto Filter.
Removed the limitation to the amount of transposition affecting samples when using Complex or Complex Pro.
The error dialog Live throws when users try to save a Default Device / Track while no User Library is available has been improved.

Bugfixes:

It is not possible to inadvertently save a Live Set to the Trash anymore.
The 'Warp as x bars' feature is improved so to provide more musical and predictable values.
Light blue color tones have changed to avoid being confused with the selection color when using the default Live skin.
Artifacts might be introduced when transposing samples warped with Complex / Pro.
Specific plug-ins would have triggered Live to configure non-functional parameters after a preset change.

Fixed a crash that could occur when hovering over an automation breakpoint or segment on the first automation lane of an Arrangement track and then forcing another automation to be shown on the same lane, e.g. by tweaking a different parameter using a MIDI controller.
Max for Live devices would not pass an “All Notes Off” message to the subsequent devices in a device chain when the Max for Live device was turned off.
VST plug-ins that have a MIDI output would not be able to output a CC 123 MIDI message ("All Notes Off").
Max for Live MIDI effect devices would not be correctly latency-compensated when the device was turned off and the device had an additional latency defined in its patcher inspector.

Almost perfect..
absolutely, it's the best!

I LOVE Ableton's Live, it's super software for musician! Inspiring, creative, powerful. Amazingly fast tech-support. Simply the best!

Guenter :'Bad: you only get two registration-numbers from ableton (in case of changing your computer that's pretty not much).'
-- If you contact Ableton by email or phone (Very helpful) and mention that you would like to register on other computers you will find them to be very accomodating.

Brilliant software!! Very easy to learn and with 3rd party plug-ins the possiblities and quality are up to the creator.

If you are a musician that this is simply the most amazing piece of software running on OS X. Fast, incredibly Powerful. Frequent updates, good support.

Very Good: Live 3.0 is truly the best looping sequencer for live-acts and for rapid results. Impressive it's effect section: therewith one can get brilliant results in real time. A most useful feature: You can run Live 3.0 in slave mode with nearly all other sequencers. Bad: you only get two registration-numbers from ableton (in case of changing your computer that's pretty not much). MIDI editing is not the a strong point of Live 3.0.
scseay
Truly the best Looping Sequencer for Mac or Windows. Live 1.0 was great, but 3.0 is amazing. Well worth the money!!!!

Je me sert de Live pour tout, il est vrai que les effets qu'il propose ne sont pas d'exelente qualité, je pense surtout au reverb, mais c'est un puissant outils que j'utilise pour la compo et pour le live, combiné à Reason, il devient monstrueux...Un log polyvalent et stable...

Live est un bon logiciel, très intéressant pour les prestations live justement, pour un musicien ne souhaitant pas sortir ses machines de sa chambre... néanmoins, la structure du logiciel reste un peu fermée, le traitement audio n'est pas parfait et son prix (depuis la version 4) me semble surévalué. Il reste tout de même un bon soft, très agréable à utiliser.

Enfin un soft stable et complet (depuis la version 4) qui trouve sa place comme un reel instrument de musique sur scene .
