have you downloaded Ableton Live 12 yet? 🤔 If so, let me know if it was worth it and what's your new favourite feature! Perhaps we'll cover it next 👇

[gnarthen]

I bought on the upgrade discount, I can now continue to not make music in the latest DAW! It opens and closes just as easy as 11 🤣

[kevinrhodes]

The global key is a huge addition for me. I'm really hoping this goes forward to include an ability to program a chord progression into a track and allow other clips to follow and the generation to consider this.

[shaunsmithaus]

God! I just started using Live 12 only a couple of minutes ago. I've been using it since Live 9 and it's amazing to see how far Ableton has come.

[BluffMunkey]

Would be useful if you could show the mixer in the arrange page by holding down TAB, meaning you could make your edit with mouse and then release TAB again.

All of those random MIDI generation are just THE BEST FEATURES for Psytrance Producers. I use Rhytimizer for my generation, but this can help a lot in creating random patterns and arps to use in psychedelic music. Looking foward onto this version. Also, that chance feature is a good feature as well as it adds more randomness to the sound

Hey Will! Thank you so much for your review :) i would like to see in your next video maybe making a song from scratch using the new Ableton 12 features! thanks for everything!!

[jpallatin]

It's a YES to me. Of course there's still room for improvement in both new and missing features, but can't complain much. Best Ableton Live experience so far.

[markee]

Had the Beta for a couple of months and had no problems, still like to play around on Studio One 6

[ysteinsondrup]

Big yes from me, with the new midi tools 😊

[franklin]

Thank you for your video. Now, I understand better the new features of the MIDI tool.

[rustyroy]

If the sample tagging is stored as metadata on the samples themselves, then it sounds like a useful feature. If it's stored in a proprietary database format then it sounds like a lot of work to tag all your files then have that information unavailable when you decide to switch DAWs or the database inevitably gets corrupted.

[skcaro]

I am stoked I can’t wait to DL it and get working!

[HMRo]

Well, I bought it when I saw the discount when I buy Ableton 11. Now I'm sitting here using Ableton 12 and I'm happy so far 😊

[elretsof]

Been playing around with Meld a bit more and the swarm is fabulous

[CarlBeep]

Well.... I've got it now. Just haven't had much time to explore it yet. Add on learning Push 3 into the equation, it's bit overwhelming.

[jaysoniq]

It sure would be fantastic to watch a few tutorials of you producing with Ableton and the Push 2 👌😉

[pierreiskanderofficial]

i bought it ableton 12, and i will check it out later today!

[Wulfrig]

Will is happy with his new HD490 Pro :) greetings from Prague!

[Alckemy]

It has a couple cool additions but some glaring issues that have been around forever. Terrible modulation and every device has a different setup. It’s annoying because I can’t apply say the cool randomizers in roar to other devices. The lfo is so clunky and you have to group and map everything to a macro if you want to control stuff in grouped device.


You can only edit one audio clip at a time, too. Dutch freeze and flatten and replace with bounce in place.

New midi tools are cool though
