Other Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) like Logic and Pro Tools already have note chasing, but currently in Live 9, MIDI has to be frozen (bounced to audio in the background) in order to initiate playback from the middle of a MIDI note. Live 10 will also support note chasing, which is the ability to trigger and play a MIDI note even if playback is started in the middle. Other workflow changes for Live 10 include the introduction of groups within groups, the ability to rename Live’s inputs and outputs, multiple MIDI clip editing, which allows for the content of two or more clips to be displayed in one view, a multitude of new keyboard shortcuts and clip interactions, and at last, the option to export audio as. Live 10 introduces the option to export audio as. I couldn’t, say, search for a sound tagged both “Kick Drum” and “Distorted” (which was my dream situation) - I’d have to create a separate Collection for “Distorted Kick Drums.” That said, Collections should still prove a practical(ish) way to categorize and easily access frequently used elements. Or, you could create Collections based around types of sounds, like “Pop” or “Grime.” The system’s not quite perfect - Collections are only top-level tags. Maybe more straightforward Collections like “Favorite Vocals” make sense for you.
How Collections are organized and named is up to the user. In the example below, the Glue Compressor is marked by green, purple, and gray squares as it’s been tagged for the “Favourite Effects,” “Mixing,” and “Mastering” Collections. They appear in the program’s left hand navigation, and items can be tagged to appear in multiple Collections. A Collection is essentially a tag, marked by a title and designated color. Man how cool would it be if Ableton let you organize your sample library with assigned tags instead of a traditional folder structure- Dani Deahl June 30, 2017Ībleton’s Collections don’t quite work the way I had envisioned (which was more akin to Soundbase tags), but they’re still super useful. It’s literally something I pined for in a tweet earlier this year. Ableton describes Collections as a way to organize favorite or most-used plugins, sounds, and more, but really, it’s a customizable tagging system.
One of the more exciting new features in Live 10 might be initially glossed over by many: Collections. You can also look forward to a new library of sounds. Some previous plugins have been given a refresh: Utility now has an improved gain range and the ability to mono bass separately, and EQ Eight and Split Stereo Pan have extended low frequency slopes for finer control. Ableton is introducing four new plugins - the tools used for everything from sound creation to signal processing - that will come standard with the software: Wavetable, a synth that promises “deep, flexible modulation,” Echo, a multi-purpose delay unit for adding texture, Drum Buss, an all-in-one drum sculpting tool, and Pedal, which delivers overdrive and warm distortion. There’s a lot of new, notable changes to Live in version 10.

Live 9, Ableton’s last major upgrade to the title, came out in 2013 alongside the debut of Push, a hardware controller for Live with 64 pads designed to play and program beats. Developer Ableton has announced Live 10, the next version of its popular music production software.
