Great update ! A few simple features that would be so useful in Ableton are : - Freezing a group - Hide & make inactive - Audiosuite (printing an effect into an audio clip)

As a 100% Ableton user for more almost a decade now, I'm very excited for this update, it does add lots or great features wether it's an improvement to an existing utility, interface or a new addition to the DAW, yet I feel that it is still missing alot of important factors that needs a fix or an improvement that would really elevate the experience by a large amount like video compatibility and rendering issues, when flattening a mono track it automatically makes and shows it stereo, not adding more features regarding export filtering like reaper or pro tools, not having stem export features for easier colabs and not having an easier way for making cutdowns regarding tools or shortcuts. That said i still love using ableton but I genuinely think that Ableton should focus more right now on the UI and UX part instead of adding more new instruments and effects or at least work out both.

epic update. love the new midi editing!
Woah, Ableton delivered!!!!!! Christmas came early!
as someone who isnt well versed in music theory. suck at chords and learning key this just made it so much better for me!
I really like the look of thesimilar sounds functionality and roar. But what I'd really like is a built in pitch correction tool like in Logic. Maybe I just have a terrible workflow for it but it would be great to have a mode where you can choose an audio clip, switch into pitch correction mode, it detects pitches and lets you move them around like midi. I got the 11 update straight away, mostly for take lanes, which are great for a non EDM person like me, so I was hoping the next recording focused tool like this was coming. But maybe these new interface changes are a step towards that *copium*
Love that you can see session and arrangement view together, that's awesome.

Oh nice I like the mixer view within session view. One of the features I like about Logic now in Ableton :)
Left field question...I recently downloaded UAD VST3 plugins. The upgraded plug-ins don't give you a (m) mono option for their plug-ins. Does ableton 12 recognize when you have a mono signal when using a stereo plug-in? Is this something i need to worry about? Does ableton 11 recognize as well? Thats the version im using. Hopefully my question makes sense. Your video are a big help! Thanks

Live has to really step up it's game in terms of aux tracks, audio editing, and routing.
Interesting... I would think it would be called an "Upgrade" (to a new version) rather than an "Update" (for a version that's already installed)... But maybe that's just me 😊 Anyway, love the video, thanks for your time & effort to share this info 👍 I've pre-ordered Live 12 and am excitedly awaiting it's release 😃 and learning about it beforehand 👌
Number one thing I am expecting is a Freeze and Flatten one button shortcut. I hate that it is a two process step. I just want it to flatten or render in place right away. Comes in handy with large projects. Also freezing groups woul dbe great.

Seing this makes me realize how far behind Abelton to a DAW like Cubase is. Of course, you can make good music with it, but its crazy to see that.
I bought Live11 suite only 12 months ago so it chafes a bit to now need to find serious money for mostly EDM focused improvements. I was also hoping that the interface would get cleaned up as it's now extremely cluttered. For instance, it would be great to see the effects applied to each track in a stack next to the track. I think Logic Pro is very clearly laid out by comparison (although Live is my preference). Also render to MP3: how about some other options such as VBR. And when importing, can we use m4a files yet? Glad the browser is starting to improve but it's got a long way to go. Great video though (as always!)!

No endorsement I was part of an early Beta team to try it out.
What’s the tracks name on 1:45? 😮
I started making music with Ableton (version 7). Never used it for looping or live performances, only songwriting and music production - always thought the Session View was amazing to build song structures and write to each section. But the evolution for the rest of the DAW to catch up with other basic needs has been so slow over the years that I can't help but feel let down. I know, it says, and always has said Ableton LIVE. But did it really have to take 10 years to add waveform zoom? A key selector for the project? And why are we still missing a MIDI input/Chord analyser to the top of the window? It's so useful... But then they go ahead and literally write in a whole VST (XO, an expensive on at that...) into the Drum Rack ( 4:40 )... It's frustrating. We appreciate it, but we also would appreciate these other tiny details that are so helpful to producers... Anyways, another great video!

Nice! This seems like a natural progression for the best live looping platform, to morph into a full fledged DAW. It's looking more and more like the top DAWs out there, and I personally think that is a good thing. For me, it let's me switch between platforms and still maintain basically the same feel and work flow.

@@mttlsa686 there's no difference between buses and groups regarding cpu. my understanding is that a signal path can only be calculated on one cpu core at a time. grouping tracks puts them on the same signal path since you're processing them together. I'm not a computer scientist, just a producer, but this lines up with my experience - when I have nothing on my master I can have virtually unlimited tracks and devices in my sessions, but if I then add something to the master on a big session my computer will struggle. if someone has a better explanation I would be interested in hearing it!!

As a software engineer who does music prod in his free time, I can tell you that the amount of work that goes into creating software as complex and polished as Ableton takes an extreme amount of time from a very large group of engineers. All those people need to get paid for their work, so that trickles down into the price for Ableton Live.

I am happy to finally be able to throw away all the third party library organizers, like ADSR Sample Manager and Loopcloud, and use something right inside the DAW.
Why are the volume indicators on the left suddenly, what possessed them to spend time coding that?!?! Looks like someone from Ableton got a demo of Bitwig and liked it :)

@@BeatAcademy I think he's referring to the option in Logic (and some other DAW's) to render a certain clip/region to a new audio track (basically with one hotkey, and then confirming with enter). A feature I absolutely love in Logic, as I'm not the biggest fan of working with midi. Freeze, pre-renders the entire track, and is mostly geared towards saving CPU (but you are still using RAM though). It's good for what it's meant for, but I would love to see a similar feature as the one in Logic, implemented in Ableton. There are certain workarounds though, and that flexibility is one of the cooler aspects of Ableton! To be fair, I heard that "Freeze & Flatten" has become it's own feature in Live 12, you can do it it one go now apparently! Really good video btw, haven't seen anybody else mention the waveform rescaling, that was pretty cool! 😯
Great explanation of the latest version. But somehow I get the feeling most UI stuff should have been in version 10.😂
NO EFFIN WAAAYY!! This is literally all the function I always dreamed of but never in my wildest dreams I thought a DAW would ever have. I'm finally ending my battle between going back and forth to logic vs ableton.. Bye Logic, Welcome Back Ableton.. This sofware is now years ahead and logic pro couldn't even give us a f*king plugin search bar with their new update, literally the only thing logic pro users asked for... I've always said it, working with Audio is such a pain in the a*s with Logic whereas Ableton is a breeze, but with this new update damn. It's a whole new level of ease. Pretty sure Live is getting old users back to their DAW. I know they won me over again. I just wish Ableton native instruments and vst drums where as good as logic, that would be the Dream DAW. What I hate about logic is that eveything is hiden whereas in logic everything is literally right in front of your eyes and yet it still looks clean.
it has a bug..... with suspend pedal pressed continuosly.......the suspend on my left hand keys stop abrubtly when the right hand plays rapidly a few keys.... this happens when i have 2 or more midi tracks selected..... am usin Arturia keylab 88 mk 2......

Some very decent new features, but is this really Live 12? Seems more like 11.xx update to me. I won’t be upgrading from 11 for this unless some future updates really impress.
