Ableton Live 9 Suite production software student (download)

General

If you're a student looking for music software then you've probably realised that there are plenty of manufacturers who offer deals for you. Ableton is no different, and you can get their student software at quite the bargain. This download for Ableton Live 9 Suite producer software is the largest version of Live 9 that there is - think of it as Ableton's parade horse, if you will. Just like its predecessors, this is a real live package, and as such is ideal for use on stage! It has a simple core workflow consisting of creating blocks of audio or MIDI data which you then organise on a grid so you can choose which sounds to trigger when you perform live. As you can imagine, that works best with the help of an Ableton controller, and results in a type of high-level composition that can take place in real time.

New functions in Ableton Live 9 Suite

The student version has all of the same features as the regular Suite edition, which means that it comes with an impressive 54 GB of samples from a wide range of styles. It also offers nine virtual instruments, and 40 effects are at the ready so you can take your production to a higher level. The number of audio/MIDI tracks is unlimited too, so your productions can be as large as your computer will allow. Furthermore, you can make use of the Max for Live modular system to create your own virtual effects and synths. The audio-to-MIDI plugin is another popular feature that translates your audio files to MIDI data, meaning that it's a piece of cake to sing or play into a microphone and get that piece of music in MIDI!

Who is this software for?

Because of the nature of this software you’ll find it being used by many producers in the electro genres, such as house, dance, trance and dubstep. The option to connect an Ableton controller to the software has also helped to increase its popularity, as it makes live composing easier and more visually appealing. Of course, Ableton isn’t exclusively for electro, and at the end of the day the only limits are the ones artists place on themselves. So whether you’re into electro or classical music, you’re going to find what you need in this collection. Ableton is the key to unlocking your musical creativity and translating it into a format for live performances.
