Activate this and Live will analyse the audio input and adjust the project tempo accordingly. This is simple to set up just select an audio input channel in LiveвЂ™s Preferences > Link/Tempo/MIDI panel, then set the Show Tempo Follower Toggle to Show and a вЂFollowвЂ™ button will appear to the left of the familiar вЂTapвЂ™ button at the top left-hand corner of LiveвЂ™s interface. Live performance-wise, Live now has the ability to select an audio input channel and use it to control LiveвЂ™s internal tempo. It even works with warping, making it easy to time-correct multi-track elements. Still, a powerful feature, and one that can be used in conjunction with track lanes, making it possible to quickly create and edit complex multitrack layers. This is useful when working with multiple copies or related versions of the same material, and will likely prove invaluable to those dealing with multi-track vocal and drum recordings, but its functionality is limited to affecting clips at the same time position.ДЇor example, you can adjust the relative fade time of two clips that play at the same time on different tracks, but you still canвЂ™t adjust the fade times of multiple clips on the same track simultaneously. When tracks are linked, selections made on one of the tracks will be reflected on the others, making it possible to edit audio on multiple tracks at once. To link tracks, one selects multiple tracks, right-clicks one of their track headers and selects вЂњLink TracksвЂќ. Linked tracks work in a similarly unfussy fashion.

Only available for Mac and its workflow isnвЂ™t as streamlined as LiveвЂ™s, but it does offer features ideal for live performers. For advanced MIDI and audio editing itвЂ™s hard to beat, though it doesnвЂ™t offer the performance capabilities of Live. The original MPE DAW, this has been around since the late вЂ™80s yet remains on the cutting edge of music production. It also includes The Grid, a supremely powerful modular environment for creating your own effects, instruments and more.

LiveвЂ™s closest rival is a DAW with a similar interface, plus powerful audio and modulation routing capabilities. ItвЂ™s an easy-to-use solution to a long-requested feature that will no doubt delight those eagerly awaiting it. Alternatively, draw mode can be used - just drag over part of a clip and it will be placed on the main lane. To comp the recorded material one selects the desired section of a track lane, and presses the enter key to place it on the main lane.

Take lanes can be viewed by right-clicking on a track header and selecting Show Take Lanes, and theyвЂ™re displayed under the main lane in a fashion similar to multiple automation lanes. Comping works in a straightforward manner: record audio or MIDI over a looped section of the project and the data will still be recorded to a single clip, but each cycle will be placed on a new take lane. Performance and verdictДЇor those who use Live to track MIDI and audio performances, the new comping and linked track capabilities will be the most exciting addition. It also makes polyphonic aftertouch available on LiveвЂ™s Push devices. MPE can be used without a compatible hardware controller, and can be programmed directly into the new Expressions tab next to the Notes and Envelopes tabs in the MIDI clip editor. MPE also features release velocity, which works much like the familiar вЂattackвЂ™ velocity, but applied to the end of notes. MPE makes it possible to pitchbend individual notes, plus there are now individual Slide and Pressure parameters for use as modulation sources with discrete values for each note. Live now features support for MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) for more nuanced control over compatible instruments.
