Whenever a „new round“ has been recorded, Live 11 will automatically add a new lane containing the last take underneath the original track. With Live 11, all you have to do, is set your loop length in Live’s arrangement view (for example over the lenght of „verse 1“) and start recording in a cycle. Let’s say, you are recording vocals for a song. „Comping“ stands for the possibility to record different takes within a looped segment of a song, to then being presented those different takes in a visual overview and the ability to choose parts of those recordings and combine them to that one „perfect take“. The magic word is comping – and now we have exactly that in Ableton Live 11! What is comping? Whenever I needed to record drums, I felt forced to either heavily compromise or switch to another software (such as Cubase or the good old ProTools) for these tasks. I, as a drummer and vocalist was one of them. recording vocalists and analog instruments, such as real drums, guitars, string sections etc., it was lacking of certain possibilities, that other DAWs were offering for a long time. Still, for a large group amongst artists, especially those, who produce their music in a more classical way, i.e. Over the years the Abletons in Berlin have achieved to get many producers and musicans to switch to their platform. This is by no means a full review of Ableton Live 11, but more of an introduction to a couple of long awaited features.
And folks, I could not be more excited! In this blog post I will highlight my favourite new feature and shine some light on a few more very fine changes, overhauls and workflows. A few days ago the public beta-phase has started, I had a chance to check out and work with the new software for a couple of weeks already. Pretty much exactly three years after Ableton’s last major version-release, Ableton Live 10, our all favourite Digital Audio Workstation-creators now delight the community with the announcement of Ableton Live 11.
