An ideal DAW for creative artists
From the beginning, the Ableton Live it was as creative a tool as a DAW. This mainly has to do with the way Live lets you build tracks and play audio in real time.
There are two main parts to Live: Arrangement View and Session View. Arrangement View is more or less a standard linear DAW, with time on the X-axis and tracks on the Y-axis.
Where Live differs from other DAWs is the session view, which places individual tracks on the X-axis and scenes on the Y-axis.
Each scene contains a slot on each channel for a clip. Clips are usually short pieces of audio or MIDI a few measures longer or shorter, which repeat to create grooves. Released individually, these loops allow you to experiment with your arrangements, trying out various combinations of grooves and riffs.
Since everything from modern electronic music to classic rock and blues is heavily based on repeating sections, Live's Session View makes it an ideal creative tool for all types of composers. In fact, the composition tools don't stop there. In addition to launching individual clips, you can launch entire scenes complete with automatic advancement to subsequent scenes, scene repeat instructions, and other logical options.
Using scenes makes it easier to arrange entire songs into parts (verse, chorus, etc.). And when you record your progression to Linear Arrangement View, you add the ability to record lead lines and other performances that are outside the rest of the song's structure. What's more, all of the loop/riff-based arrangement options are still available in the timeline, so you can continue to edit and build your song even after recording it in Session View.
