so..jetzt gehts echt dahin, das nächste major update:

Ableton Live 8 angekündigt
(IMG:http://misterhonk.de/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/ableton-live-8.jpg)

Das vermutlich beliebteste und innovativste Musikprogramm der letzten Jahre geht dieses Jahr nun endlich in Runde (Version) 8. Die Rede ist wie man dem Titel entnehmen kann von Ableton Live 8. Besonderes Augenmerk bei dieser neuen Version liegt vor allem auf den beiden neuen Engines für Groove und Warping.

Mit Groove ist man nun in der Lage die recht stoische digital Sequenz von Noten mit etwas menschlichem zu versehen indem man Tempo und Varianz der einzelnen Noten "personalisierter" spielt. Somit entfällt also nun das lästige setzen von Attacks, Releases und Gains für einzelne Noten und Sequenzen.

Ebenfalls neu ist die neue Warpengine die es nun möglich macht gezielt Events innerhalb der Timeline zu warpen anstatt wie bisher die ganze Timeline hin und her ziehen zu müssen um das Event passend zu gestalten.

Für ernstehafte Livesets- und Künstler dürfte vor allem das neue Modul "Looper" interssant sein, mit dem es möglich sein wird on-thy-fly material zu samplen, zu overdubben und das alles ohne den Rechner dafür anpassen zu müssen indem man einfach zum Beispiel mit einem Fußpedal arbeitet.

Und natürlich kommt die neue Version nicht ohne ein paar neue Effekte aus zu denen sich unter anderem ein Vocoder, ein Brickwall Limiter, Multiband Dynamics, Overdrive und Frequency Shift gesellen.

Alles in allem ein rundes neues Paket das vermutlich Mitte des Jahres 2009 zu haben sein für einen Unkostenbeitrag von ca. 449 EUR.

Alle weiteren Infos zum neuen Ableton Live 8 gibt es natürlich auf der Firmen Website.

Mit Live 8 erhält natürlich auch die Suite 8 neue Features, über die ihr euch aber gerne bei Ableton informieren dürft.

New in Ableton Live 8
Version 8 enhances the Ableton vision of creative, real-time digital music with a wealth of new techniques, effects and most-wanted workflow improvements.

Groove patterns can add life and swing to straight sequences. Live 8's new groove engine lets you apply groove patterns in real time, extract grooves from audio or MIDI sources, quantize audio and MIDI in real time. It also comes with a new groove library.

Live 8 introduces a new, more direct way of working with warping and some important Warp Mode enhancements. You can now warp audio events by adjusting the events themselves on the timeline. Beats Mode has been updated, and there's a completely new Complex Warp Mode. Plus you can slice audio files to MIDI tracks based on transients.

A much-requested feature, the Ableton Looper effect gives you classic sound-on-sound looping without the limitations of a hardware device. Looper is set up for remote operation, so you can record, overdub, undo and more without touching the computer.


(IMG:http://resources.ableton.com/pages/live_8/announcement/home/multiband.png) New effects
Live 8 includes five powerful new effects: Vocoder, Multiband Dynamics, Overdrive, Limiter and Frequency Shifter. These effects cover all the well-known aspects of these devices, but really shine due to some innovative features and enhancements from the Ableton labs.

Version 8 makes Live easier with a number of most-wanted enhancements and some deceptively simple detail work including real-time crossfades in the Arrangement View, enhanced MIDI editing, group tracks, a screen magnifier and more.


New in Ableton Suite 8
Ableton Suite 8 is a package which gives you a rich world of sound, perfectly complementing the tools and features in Live 8. Suite 8 provides all the instruments a musician could hope for, including a wide range of synths, a powerful sampler, electric and acoustic drums, mallets, numerous sampled instruments: 10 instruments in all. Here's what's new in Suite 8.

ein bischen versteckt auf der ableton seite, um die neue Share Live Funktion betatesten zu können:

(IMG:http://resources.ableton.com/tmp/-2058016264.png)
Share your Live Sets with others via the web and make beautiful music together. Live 8 introduces a simple and intelligent solution for online musical collaboration streamlining the sharing process with one-click sharing and loading, a simple system of setting access permission, speedy transfers and no issues with external plug-ins and instruments.


Key features

• One click upload: select "Share Live Set" in the menu and Live automatically gathers and transmits the entire Live Set.
• One click download: open shared Sets from the web with a single click.
• Uploads and downloads happen in the background, so you can keep making music.
• Manage your Live Sets online: You control who can access your Set. Keep access exclusive to your bandmates and producer, or go public and share your Set with the entire Live community.
• Intelligent file transfer ignores duplicate files and recognizes changes in a Set. Live transmits only new or modified material, minimizing transfer times.
• Avoid plug-in issues: Automatically freeze tracks that use plug-ins and virtual instruments, so people can still use your Set if they don't own all your plug-ins.
• Collaborate even with non-Live users: Non-Live users get a time-limited version of Live for free if you share a Set with them.

Hi everybody,

Live 8 contains the new menu entry 'Share Live Set'. To use this function, you'll need to get your ableton.com account configured for it - the following text will explain how. But beforehand, I would like to point you to some basic rules for using this feature. They should be obvious, really, but just in case, here they are. By registering for the private beta you accept these rules:

-------------------------------------------------------

Be nice. Be tolerant. Be constructive.

When you're using this platform, remember that you're communicating with other people, even if you can't see them. And bear in mind that a lot of different cultures come together at ableton.com. Respect others, be tolerant.

Don't upload what doesn't belong to you

Don't upload anything that isn't yours to share. Uploading copyrighted material when you don't own the rights is copyright violation. This applies not only to samples, presets, Live Clips and Live Sets but also graphics, videos and text. If you notice a copyright infringement, please let us know about it immediately at: [email protected]

Your uploaded Live Sets are shared subject to license

Your uploaded Live Sets, as well as the material they contain, are subject to certain licenses. Soon, for every Live Set that you share, you'll be able to choose a suitable license type from a selection of Creative Commons licenses. For now, though, we're using a simplified licensing system. If you share your Live Set publically, this license applies: the Creative Commons License Attribution-Noncommercial 3.0. If you share your Live Set privately, you retain all rights. It's up to you and the people you share with to agree on exactly what these rights are.

This is an early beta version: act accordingly

This is an early beta phase. It's work in progress, people, and we're not making any promises! We can't guarantee anything. In the worst case, something could go wrong and you can't download your Live Sets. Be sensible: always make backups of your work and don't save exclusively online.

-------------------------------------------------------

Ok, now let's see what you need to do to participate on the private beta. Together with the sharing functionality, we're introducing public user profiles. To create your public profile your ableton.com account needs a unique username. Actually, you already have a username - your forum username. Therefore, we're merging the ableton.com accounts with the forum accounts in some weeks so you'll be able to use one account to login to the website, to upload / download Live Sets and access the forum. But as I said, this won't be happening for a few weeks. Until then, we will manually copy your forum username to your ableton.com account. So:

You need to send me (Share Moderator) a private message. As a subject, you need to write your email address of your ableton.com account, which can be found at

https://www.ableton.com/user-account

I will reply to your private message when your account is properly configured. This might take some days.

Kind regards and happy sharing, Bernd.
