Tech Reviews: Ableton Live 10

The latest generation of Ableton's flagship clip-based software is here and, amazingly, we've reached version 10! At first glance, although tighter, not much has changed in appearance, but there have been some massive upgrades – especially in the audio editing department. These improvements have made the workflow faster and will surely cement Ableton Live as one of the most creative-friendly DAWs on the market. It has huge potential in both the studio and on the stage, as well as being a powerful teaching tool.

The Berlin-based company has been generous with its latest offering, further extending the range of free and purchased sample packs on offer. It has also improved the already-excellent browser system, allowing you to add favourites and now colour code your library for more fluidity. This makes it one of the most extensive of all DAWs for content while remaining an affordable option. However, it's the quality of the included material that really impresses me.
