Ableton Live 12 Standard, UPG from Live Lite (Download Only)

Ableton Live 12 is a music creation and performance software that is fast, fluid, and highly adaptable. It offers an extensive range of effects, instruments, sounds, and creative tools, enabling you to create any type of music you desire.

With Live 12, you can easily create your own unique sound by using the extensive library of instruments and effects, or you can remix a variety of well-curated Packs to create something entirely unique. The software allows you to do everything in real-time and is entirely customisable, making it ideal for live performances and hands-on play, regardless of your setup. You can set up your music in Live 12's linear Arrangement View or use the Session View to improvise and experiment with ideas outside of a timeline. Live's warping feature allows you to adjust the pace and timing of any audio in real-time without breaking the song.

Whether you're recording MIDI or real-world instruments, vocals, or other sounds, Live's creative tools can improve your performance, generate new ideas, or turn spontaneous moments into music. You can use MIDI Transformations to change your patterns, and with MIDI Generators, you can generate new ones that you may incorporate into your own compositions. Sound Similarity enables you to identify presets and sounds that are similar to the ones you're working with.
