Ableton has launched their first full update to Live 10 bringing whole new tools and features to provide the ultimate control over music making and production.

The launch of Ableton Live 10 last year brought joy and excitement to the faces of musicians, producers, and mixers around the world. With a whole new design that made the DAW’s workflow better than ever and a feature-laden interface capable of doing all you could imagine it was the software’s best version yet. Now the first update to Ableton Live 10 is here.

The update is free to all Live 10 owners and offers up brand new tools and features that enhance everything from making and shaping sound to editing and finalising the mix. If you don’t have the latest version of Ableton Live then now’s a great time to nab it!

Here’s all that’s new in Live 10.1:

  • User wavetables: Extend the capabilities of Wavetable’s oscillator section by importing your own wavetables or samples from your library into the device.
  • Channel EQ: A flexible and simple EQ with curves and gain ranges suitable for a variety of audio material. The shape of the filters adapts based on how controls are set to always provide musical results.
  • Delay: Combines Simple Delay and Ping Pong Delay and adds feature upgrades. Ping pong behavior, as well as Jump, Fade-In and Pitch controls from those devices are all accessed from the front panel.
  • New automation features: Choose from a new palette of automation shapes, stretch and skew automation and enter precise values with your numerical keyboard. Get easier access to clip modulation in Session View. Live now also simplifies complex automation into C- and S-shapes for easier editing.
  • Improvements to zooming and scrolling: Live 10.1 makes switching between detailed views and big-picture editing faster with streamlined keyboard shortcuts, pinch zooming on compatible computers, a resizable Arrangement Overview window, and more.

Also new in Live 10.1:

  • Freeze tracks that contain sidechain routing.
  • Export single tracks and groups with return and master effects applied.
  • Use your VST3 plug-ins in Live.
