No matter how you start your music, Live offers a workflow that will help you get going. Record audio or MIDI from any source. Mix and match loops and samples from any tempo. Work with a huge range of included sounds, instruments, and effects.

Finish

Live helps you get from a collection of musical ideas to a finished song. With extensive editing workflows, great sounding EQs & compressors, solid meters and waveforms, and flexible exporting options, Live gives you what you need to get it done.

Perform

Take your music onto the stage, with Live’s powerful performance workflows. Since Live handles keeping everything in time, you can play hardware or software instruments, trigger loops, process audio from other musicians, and focus on making music.
