No more clicking on a line then dragging it into position simply double click where you want it to go. Previously, you could only drag ’n’ drop your arrangement into place like Duplo blocks now it has more of a Technics Lego versatility to it.Īutomation workflow has been improved too, with the ability to double click anywhere in a region to create a breakpoint in that particular spot. Lastly, you can reverse a clip by selecting it and pressing ‘R’. (3)Thirdly, fades are now automatically displayed on the bounding box of each clip in the arrangement view. Secondly, you can hold Shift to stretch or shrink the audio in a region, again, using Command to let it slip.

Previously, you had to adjust the audio clip loop points. (2)Firstly, you can now slide audio around within a clip region by holding Shift+ Option to drag the audio by grid divisions, or Shift+Option+Command to slip it. There are four enhancements allowing you to work directly with audio within the arrangement window, rather than resorting to the sample window or menus. Workflow has taken a big leap forward in the arrangement view. It hasn’t all been subtle changes, but let’s stay in that mode for now before covering the new gear. It subtly improves every interaction with the software, rather than just one. While some users might prefer the development team to spend its time implementing music-related features, something as ‘simple’ as a new typeface reaches every nook and cranny of Live. Compared to the previous off-the-shelf typeface, everything is less bold, more refined, and the browser section is better for it. (1)It seems minor, but Ableton’s new font - Ableton Sans - is a big deal. While the transition from Live 8 to 9 was all about hardware, Live 10 is Ableton cementing what it does best, sometimes at the expense of what it’s long forsaken.

It’s a rock solid, sexy piece of hardware, and it’s nice to not be tempted by next-gen hardware while deciding whether to upgrade your DAW.

Ableton is still rocking the Push 2, which is not a complaint. So, has Ableton cannonballed or flopped into the pool with Live 10?įirstly, there’s no new hardware.

The last round number update was back in 2013, and that rolled into town with Ableton’s first hardware product sharing the saddle! Push’s debut was the kind of big splash you’d expect from a 10. Apple even rushed out the iPhone 8 then skipped a digit just so the iPhone X launch lined up perfectly with the iPhone’s 10th anniversary.Ībleton Live recently rolled out its 10th edition. Any version 10 product deserves a decent splash.
