The features are great. You have everything you need right in front of you, as you should. Includes: Pitch Transposing, Loop Warping which detects the loop's original BPM to adjust to the one you are working at. In Live, it really is LIVE. You can make significant changes while recording, such as change root notes and the current BPM. There is a hell load more I cannot think of. A Worthy 9 in this area.

At first Live is a blurry program. You really need to watch a few tutorials and pay close attention as to what is going on. They are available from www.ableton.com. I wouldn't say it was the easiest program to use. But when you do get sometihng perfect, the results certainly show.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

The sound quality is excellent as should any music arranging software. The included Effects even go more in-depth within the sound. And of course with VST support the possibilities are endless.

OVERALL OPINION

This program has been made to top quality standards. Ableton have seriously thought about their software and counteracted all possible flaws. Live won't let you down.

I Love LIVE. I feel it has improved my tracks/mixes further. All Acid users defiantely need to move on to this and people of FL and other programs, should definately give this a go. Get the demo at www.ableton.com
