The Ableton Live 8 Production and Performance DAW enhances the Ableton vision of creative, real-time digital music with a wealth of new techniques, effects and most-wanted workflow improvements.

The Ableton Live 8 Production and Performance DAW features an enhanced groove engine and warping engine. Also a looper, five powerful effects and all-round improved workflow.

Ableton Live now comes with The Bridge. The Bridge Record your Serato DJ performance as an Ableton Live Set, complete with song placement and fader movements. Then use Live’s collection of effects, instruments and production tools to edit, enhance and polish your mix. Load an Ableton Live set on one of your decks. The Bridge brings tight synchronization and remote control of Ableton Live to Serato Scratch Live’s interface.

Ableton and Serato bridge the gap between music production and DJing. The Bridge requires Ableton Live/Suite 8.2 or above and Serato Scratch Live 2.1.1 or above.

The Ableton Live 8 Production and Performance DAW Main Features Include:

• The Bridge: Record your Serato DJ performance as an Ableton Live Set
• Groove patterns dynamically influence the timing and velocity/volume of audio and MIDI material. This can add life and swing to straight patterns, give a track more drive, or lend a piece an easy, laid-back feeling.
• Apply groove patterns to any audio or MIDI clips in real time. Change the feel of the whole piece or just selected clips.
• Choose from an extensive library of groove patterns, captured from songs played by some of music's most original, expressive and soulful drummers.
• Extract groove patterns from any audio or MIDI source to build your own groove library from your favorite tracks.
• Quantize audio and MIDI in real time: non-destructive velocity and timing adjustments for rhythmic correction.
• Randomize audio and MIDI timing for a more human feel.
• Intuitive warping allows you to adjust events on the timeline instead of stretching and squeezing the timeline around the events.
• Transient handles: Live analyzes and assigns handles to the transients in audio files automatically.
• Slice by transient: slice audio to MIDI based on Live 8's new transient analysis.
• Enhanced Beats Warp Mode for improved warping of percussive material and new control options.
• Improved Complex Warp Mode using élastique Pro for warping complex, polyphonic material with fewer artifacts.
• One-touch operation: Looper is set up for remote operation, so you can record, overdub, undo and more using a single footswitch (not included) and without touching the computer.
• Endless overdubs, tape-loop style for infinite improv jams.
• First loop sync: Live reads the tempo from the length of the first loop you record and automatically syncs up. This eliminates timing issues and lets you record without the click.
• Simple loop management: drag and drop a loop from Looper into a clip slot to make a clip; drag a clip back again to reload it into Looper.
• Multiple Looper sync lets you run as many Loopers as you want without any synchronization headaches.
• Five powerful new effects, each with a strong personality and serious "classic" potential. These effects add a special Ableton shine to the well-known aspects of these devices, giving you effects that are not only practical and easy to use but also inspiring.
