With easy editing via the new clip interface, even without one of these devices you can automate these parameters with just your mouse and keyboard. MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) from instruments like the ROLI Seaboard can now be recorded as automation which also allows for extra feel whilst songwriting. Combine this with MIDI drawing now able to be locked/unlocked to a single note and you're making music quicker than you ever have. This makes tracking your progressions very intuitive. You can also highlight one clip to edit while seeing other clips underlayed. Selecting multiple clips also lets you edit all of them at the same time without having to switch between them. In combination to this each note can also have a probability if it will trigger or not separate to these settings allowing for creative indulgence to the max. From there, each note can have a range assigned in which velocity will be randomised within this area or you can apply a one click randomisation to selected notes which will maintain the velocity settings on loop. Each clip can have its own set scale which allows for intuitive user input as the notes of the selected scale are highlighted on the piano roll and the key will automatically change on an Ableton Push, for example. Features that were previously locked to individual devices such as Velocity and Scale are now accessible on every clip created. Major improvements to the clip interface are another welcome addition to Live 11. For example, we could potentially now use these features to record multiple takes of a drummer to a click track, then simply by linking these channels, can flick through a multi-mic’d drum kit to pick the best takes and comp this into our linked channels with one click, phase coherent and all.
Couple this with the new track linking features found in Live 11 and you've got a DAW that translates comfortably between Live and Studio applications, bringing a whole new level of functionality to the acclaimed software. The big news is that Ableton Live 11 will finally add comping to its bag of tricks, allowing multiple takes to be edited and previewed with ease. The forthcoming Live 11 more than adds to this lineage, bringing with it a stack of new editing and broader audio functionality to make it a legitimate contender as the only DAW you will ever need. The esteemed DAW has forever changed the way music is composed, tweaked and performed since its inception in 2001. Just in case you’ve been living under a rock, Ableton is everywhere these days.
