Ableton Live + Push

Ableton is a successful software developer based in Berlin that specializes in cutting-edge music production and creation products, which now includes an exciting range of DJ-style controllers that can be used in conjunction with their award winning DAW, Ableton Live. Unlike the vast majority of other Digital Audio Workstations, Ableton Live has been designed from the ground up for live performance situations and as well as being a favoured tool amongst musicians, it is also well respected and highly popular with DJs who are looking to mix and match their existing music collection with audio loops and MIDI sequences. Innovative features offered by Live include beatmatching and crossfading controls, alongside more traditional tools such as a virtual mixer, a piano roll editor, VST audio effects and warping tools, which enable the composer or remix artist to loop and time-stretch audio and MIDI on the fly. In fact, Ableton Live was one of the first music production tools to offer automatic beatmatching functionality between different songs and audio clips.
