Envelopes
[edit]Almost all of the parameters in Live can be automated by envelopes which may be drawn either on clips, in which case they will be used in every performance of that clip, or on the entire arrangement. The most obvious examples are volume and track panning, but envelopes are also used in Live to control parameters of audio devices such as the root note of a resonator or a filter's cutoff frequency. Clip envelopes may also be mapped to MIDI controls, which can also control parameters in real-time using sliders, faders and such. Using the global transport record function will also record changes made to these parameters, creating an envelope for them.
User interface
[edit]Much of Live's interface comes from being designed for use in live performance, as well as for production.[1] There are few pop up messages or dialogs. Portions of the interface are hidden and shown based on arrows which may be clicked to show or hide a certain segment (e.g. to hide the instrument/effect list or to show or hide the help box).
Live now supports latency compensation for plug-in and mixer automation.
Instructional Use
[edit]Ableton Live may also be useful for understanding music theory pedagogy through it's scale effect MIDI function, which allows users to alter their MIDI inputs to specifically output a any set scale, in any key using only the white notes on their keyboard. This feature facilitates novice musicians not only learning and experimenting with previously unfamiliar scales by ear, but also through visuals. [2]

This user-friendly program was designed for live performances by musicians who wanted to use the recording studio like a musical instrument. As performers and recording engineers, they felt stymied by the non-real-time nature of typical audio programs, so they wrote their own.
