Ableton Live  has continued to grow as the sole solution produced for each creative stage of music from the creation to production and the performance. Live 6 opens itself to new creative communities offering Quicktime video support, a professional multisample library and customisable racks of instruments and effects. This latest vesion of Live is the most versatile and powerful to date.

The Essential Instrument Collection provides Ableton Live users with a comprehensive library of multisampled instruments. The included instruments cover the entire musical spectrum, from orchestral strings and brasses, to classic guitars and electric keyboards, to instruments like the harp and the glockenspiel.

Instrument and Effect Racks offer a new level of depth without sacrificing accessibility. Use racks to create, save and control customized groupings of multiple instruments, effects and plug-ins then distribute your creations online. Use the live racks to adjust any number of parameters with a single knob or fader. Live 6 comes with many preconfigured racks with both instruments and common processing tools like guitar and bass distortion, drum processing, and mastering.

Ableton provide Multicore and Multiprocessor support to allow the computational workload from instruments and effects to be distributed to other processors or cores, speeding up system performance. Deep Freeze expands editing functionality with frozen tracks (temporary rendered files created to free system resources). Cut, copy, paste, duplicate and consolidate clips without having to re-freeze. Live 6 will also automate mixer and clip envelopes, record frozen Session View clips into the Arrangement, and drag frozen MIDI clips into audio tracks, all without missing a beat.
