Ableton Live 11: What’s new?

Live 11 introduces comping, MPE support, and new devices built for experimentation. It also lets you do more on stage with live tempo following and Rack improvements, add the unexpected with chance tools, explore sound in new ways with a new range of Packs and much, much more.

Shout out to the crew who recognised my beat and vox on the first track from the vid! 💜💜💜 this was very fun to be part of xxx

❤️ Loving this update. Hybrid Reverb, Spectral Resonator, MPE! So much new power for great Sound Design!

[Nightmoore]

This is glorious. No more using another daw just for vocal comps. I’m so happy.

Now we only miss a proper dark mode skin 🙏🏼😎

I am a user of Ableton and bitwig. in the Ableton program, I respect the developers, but I have questions 1) Improve the Piano roll, the notes are very poorly visible, you need to stretch a lot to see C, D. E., F. G, B, you will make life easier for visually impaired authors. 2) toolbar As in Bitwig, I am a disabled person myself, I write music exclusively with the mouse, since I only have one hand functioning. it will be very convenient if the following functions are always visible (delete, insert, duplicate, consolidate). you can disable the toolbar in the settings. I understand that there are not many authors with disabilities, but they still exist. no doubt I'll be waiting for an update, it's better than nothing.

Not a Live user, but every update seems to be filled to the brim with new and awesome stuff. Good job! ^^

Would absolutely love to make the change to Live, and the main thing that's stopping me is the lack of custom key commands (both in terms of what can be controlled, and in terms of actually customizing the keys themselves).
I know there are 3rd party workarounds, but some good native accessibility options for the people out there with repetitive stress injuries would be really amazing :D


The second I'm able to do all my linear MIDI editing/sequencing from a keyboard/macro controller in Live, is the second I become a Live user c:

I'm just gonna say, this should have been in 10, or 10 could have waited for these features from 11. This is the real update from 9.

[George-nxzu]

Mixed feelings. Macro Variations and Comping are really cool. Glad Ableton made an update but their Preorder Update offer of $183 is close to Logic's price range. Why wouldn't I just get Logic to go along with Ableton 10 instead? More bang for buck and it already has comping. Kind of wish this was called 10.5 instead, but these are just my initial feelings- I haven't seen an overview of all the new Spitfire collaborations and the full capability of the new plugins.

I love Ableton. The only thing I wish they would improve is the piano roll. It’s still not competing with FL or Logic’s in my opinion. It is nice to see them adding these new features to aid more on the vocal performance side. Who knows I may leave Pro Tools and do all my production, mixing, and editing, all in Ableton one day.

[EmlynInTheMix]

Thank you Ableton for Vocal Comping, finally!! And everything else looks incredible, this DAW has fully matured!

[Natemasterflex]

Why is this not a update, like 10.5. Definitely doesn’t seem like a whole new version. Won’t be upgrading unless they are giving a better deal out for being the short lived version that 10 was.... Yes I’m throwing a tantrum lol

[ReubenWalton]

What I love about being a user of both Ableton and Logic is that their different workflows seem to activate different parts of my creativity and different musical ideas.

[EDMTips]

Awesome stuff! Just put together my first Ableton Live 11 tutorial. Thanks for the new version!

[danmarm]

This has to be a joke, I just bought ableton 10 suite for 600 dollars 3 months ago

Edit: I mailed them and they told me I'm not elegible for a free upgrade, this is the most heartbreaking thing that has happened to me in the last years.

[ben_raw]

seems more like a 10.5, but i'm stoked either way. especially for the multitrack bpm/time signature edit

[soccerman]

No wonder after my 3-month free trial, Ableton gave me an extra 3 free months. They hooked me into the DAW, and it worked lol. Now I'm too invested into it to turn back

[DaCashRap]

Ableton Live is the best piece of software I've ever used. Just beautiful!

[djdrwatson]

3:12 AT LAST! It looks like they've finally improved the piano roll.

[bboy]

If and when ableton gets manual tuning, it will be the best DAW ever created. I have melodyne tho so im making the best of it.

[markusshoggu]

I find it underwhelming to be honest. Comping is cool, something many were hoping for, but I personally couldn't care less as I dont record any vocals. The new reverb looks cool and so does that bouncy notes thing. Other than this, for an entire new version of Live its really underwhelming. I love Ableton, will never go back to any other DAW, but can't understand the hype in the comment section.... for me no reason to upgrade.
