But, it's here now, and with Places, you can use your own labels to make an organization system that works for you, in your own jargon. Ultimately, I think having a clearly labeled browser that is carefully broken down, as opposed to having parts identified by small little symbols, should have been done a long time ago. The Browser also encourages building your own patches, sample banks and so on with the clearly labeled User Library. But, because they are so easily accessible, labeled and easy to get to, I'm finding myself actually using Live packs now. For one thing, I'd never cared about Live Packs. Places also encourages areas of the Live experience that, I'll admit, I'd blown off during my entire time with Ableton Live. And, did I mention that you could drag a folder from outside Live into the browser to create a link? Not too shabby. Once it's linked, it just appears there in plain text, and you can just click on it. And, I'm a huge fan of this.įirst, and most importantly, you can directly link any folder on your computer to Places. In place of file browsers, there is now the 'Places' section. Some of us would like to have a quick link to a folder, and that's that. And, one could argue that if you kept your files organized, it wouldn't really matter. The Ableton Browser, an aspect of Live that really rocked needed 'more'. What was an integral part of the Live experience has reached a point where it had become limited, or at least could be grown. However, I'll stand by my initial assessment and I'd like to tell you 'why'.
#Using ableton live 9 update#
Now, this is my opinion, and there are others who would argue that an update that took this long should feature much more. The Ableton team, after years of updating the Live package every year, have taken a step back and said, “What is really missing?” And, I'm really happy both with this approach, and the finished product that they've developed.
The first time I sat down with what would become the package that's now been released, I had one thought come to mind, “Ableton carefully took note of Live's weaknesses and filled these in carefully, as opposed to just throwing in new features.” And, since I've used it more and more, this is still very much my mindset.
