![]() The result that you create by selecting and combining the segments will be displayed in the top-lane. ![]() Alternatively, you can highlight the part with the mouse (not in draw mode) and press „Enter“. From here you can switch to draw-mode (shortcut „b“) and use the pencil to select your favourite parts of the performance by simply highlighting them. When finished with the recording, you can listen to all the individual takes one by one by pressing the little loudspeaker symbol found on each lane. If you do so before you start recording, you can see the take lanes being created on the fly. To make those evolving lanes visible, you need to click on the track header on the right and either right-click and choose „Show Take Lanes“ or use the shortcut „alt-command-u“. Whenever a „new round“ has been recorded, Live 11 will automatically add a new lane containing the last take underneath the original track. With Live 11, all you have to do, is set your loop length in Live’s arrangement view (for example over the lenght of „verse 1“) and start recording in a cycle. Let’s say, you are recording vocals for a song. ![]() „Comping“ stands for the possibility to record different takes within a looped segment of a song, to then being presented those different takes in a visual overview and the ability to choose parts of those recordings and combine them to that one „perfect take“.

I, as a drummer and vocalist was one of them. recording vocalists and analog instruments, such as real drums, guitars, string sections etc., it was lacking of certain possibilities, that other DAWs were offering for a long time. Still, for a large group amongst artists, especially those, who produce their music in a more classical way, i.e. Over the years the Abletons in Berlin have achieved to get many producers and musicans to switch to their platform. This is by no means a full review of Ableton Live 11, but more of an introduction to a couple of long awaited features. And folks, I could not be more excited! In this blog post I will highlight my favourite new feature and shine some light on a few more very fine changes, overhauls and workflows. A few days ago the public beta-phase has started, I had a chance to check out and work with the new software for a couple of weeks already. Pretty much exactly three years after Ableton’s last major version-release, Ableton Live 10, our all favourite Digital Audio Workstation-creators now delight the community with the announcement of Ableton Live 11.
