Much like Live 7, Ableton Live 8 software is especially advantageous in the live setting with its two main views which allow you to do all your work within a single application. The Session View is essentially a musical scratch pad. You can work out new ideas and improvise in a free and easy environment. Each cell in the Session View grid can hold a recording, MIDI file, or any other musical idea, whether they"re recorded on the spot or dragged in from the browser.
