July 15, 2005 ../ Ableton Live 5 Beta Now AvailableAbleton just released a beta version of their upcoming Live 5 release. This preliminary release is now publicly available for download from Ableton's website. Ableton states that version 5's feature set extends each core aspect of Live from music production to performance while making the program more intuitive and fun.
Live 5 includes advanced and creative DAW features including clip Freeze, plug-in delay
compensation, instant start from Arrangement locators, as well as Mackie Control support.
Live's Remix Features have been enhanced with non-native, MP3 support, automatic tempo-matching, Complex Warp Mode and the new clip transport.
The Future: With only one product in it's lineup, Ableton's updates to Live are fast and furious. The new version promises substantial digital audio workstation improvements as well as performance tweaks for DJs including the ability to "needle drop" - playing a sound source in the middle of the track in perfect sync. Although the MP3 support is not native - Ableton converts the MP3 to a WAV for use within the program - the feature is a nice band-aid for utilizing MP3's within a performance, remix, mash-up or production.
