Live is fast, fluid and flexible software for music creation and performance. It comes with effects, instruments, sounds and all kinds of creative features.
Create with Live
Everything you need to make any kind of music.
Use any sounds, at any tempo. One of the things that makes Live so fluid is the ability to change the tempo and timing of any audio, in real-time.
Sketch, tweak and experiment. In Live’s Session View you can freely mix and match musical ideas without the constraints of a timeline.
Get into the details. The Arrangement View is where you can organize music along a timeline. Record multiple passes of an audio or MIDI performance into individual takes.
Get your ideas into Live. Record hardware synths, software plugins, drum machines, guitars or any audio from the real world.

The hub for your performance
Use Live to pull your show together. Control external hardware, integrate outboard effects or mixing desks. Improvise on your own, resample sounds in real-time, or process audio played by others. If you’re playing with multiple music applications, our technology Link can keep multiple devices in perfect time over the same network.
Make every show unique
One of the things that makes Live so ideal for performance is its flexibility. You can design your own unique combinations of instruments and effects, and use up to 16 Macro knobs to control any number of parameters. Find settings you like and save them as Macro snapshots for instant recall.
Tempo Following
Live listens to and adjusts its tempo based on incoming audio in real time, making it a dynamic part of the band instead of the tempo source that everyone has to follow. When you DJ, you can even turn Live into a tempo-synced FX box.
