Ableton LIVE-7 Music Production Software

Since 2001, Ableton Live has been helping musicians achieve their dreams, from laying down the initial licks to the letting it all loose live. This is the 7th incarnation of the popular sequence software. As with many other aspects of every day life, the art of creating, producing, and performing music has evolved to the point that computers are an integral part of the process. It is not uncommon now to see a laptop on stage during a performance whether you're at a hip-hop, rock, or DJ-oriented show. One of the ways Live 7 is an advantage to its users, especially in the live setting, is it's two main views which allow you to do all your work within a single application. The Session View is essentially a musical scratch pad. You can work out new ideas and 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 you use is simple and basic enough to make your tasks simple and efficient, which is especially useful during a live performance. Elastic Audio With Ableton Live 7, you can automate the tempo and it will adjust the music, drum loops, multitrack creations - whatever you add - for you. Record it at whatever speed you're comfortable with, and then play it back until you find the pace you're intending to use it at. Apply a variable amount swing or use Live's Warp Marking function to arbitrarily adjust beats within a loop or audio file. This makes it easier to match music to the hit points or key frames if imported video, or fix timing errors, and with the Auto Warping feature, you can drag in an audio file and it will automatically be assimilated to the tempo you're working in. This makes Live 7 a great ally for DJs, soundtrack producers, and every day musicians alike. Uninterrupted Creative Flow The drag-and-drop interface lets you experiment, browsing and previewing audio files at the project tempo, in realtime, so you can record perfectly cut loops, add effects, and mix and match audio without stopping the music. You'll also get full support for your favorite VST and AU effects and instruments. Utilize quantized loop recording to go straight from recording into looped playback by simply hitting a button. To help uncomplicate things when you're working with a large quantity of effects, instruments, and numerous tracks, Live has a Freeze function that keeps things moving while you continue experimenting with your editing and automation. For Studios Live 7 is a wonderful partner in the studio, serving as your main DAW or as an assistant producer, giving

Propellerhead REASON-4 Music Production Software

In the latest Reason release, version 4, users are introduced not only to a number of powerful new Reason units, but also to completely new production concepts and ways of making music. We caught up with a selection of hardworking artists and veteran Reason users to find out how Reason version 4 works for them. Your Reason rack just got bigger. All new Reason version 4 comes equipped with a brand new sequencer, a revolutionary groove tool, a stunning arpeggiator and a synth to end all synths. Welcome to Reason version 4 - the bigger rack. Thor Polysonic synthesizer Four different filter types. Six forms of synthesis. Godlike modulation capabilities. Thunderous sound. Ladies and gentlemen, we give you the Thor Polysonic synthesizer. Thor sounds like no synthesizer you`ve ever heard before - and every single one of them. Where other synths use one specific form of synthesis and one single filter, the Thor polysonic synthesizer features six different oscillator types and four unique filters. What does this give you? Simply the most powerful synth ever created; an unstoppable monster of a sound generator that utilises synthesizer technology from the last 40 years. Six open filter and oscillator slots let you load up three different synth filters and three separate oscillators simultaneously, allowing you to dial in synth sounds that are completely...new. An all-powerful modulation matrix gives you complete control over your signal flow, letting you modulate anything within Thor with anything within Thor. Sound deep enough for you? It gets deeper. At the bottom of this synth sits an analog style step sequencer with more than one twist. Being every bit as modular as the rest of Thor`s components, this step sequencer does more than just play melodies - use it as a modulation tool, trigger phrases from specific keys, create intense arpeggios, generate piercing percussion lines. With its unique selection of oscillator types and synth filters, the Thor polysonic synthesizer is a veritable synth museum. But believe it, there`s nothing dusty about this instrument; Thor may have one foot in history, but its sound is pure future. Take the Thor tour to find out more. RPG-8 Monophonic Arpeggiator Turn boring chords into fluttering melody lines with the RPG-8, Reason`s new tool for creative arpeggiation. Reason version 4 ships with RPG-8, a brand new unit dedicated to the art of arpeggiation. Some arpeggiators are quite content with simply transforming chords into wandering rhythmic melody lines. The RPG-8 monophonic arpeggiator is not. With a wide range of on-panel controls and mode selectors, a pattern section for muting selected notes in an arpeggio and a large display showing values and positions, this device gives you full creative control over your arpeggios. Although very hands-on and user friendly, the RPG-8 boasts some very advanced features under the surface. Features that will change how you play Reason`s instruments. The `Single Note Repeat
