What's New in Live 8?
1.2.1
New Warping Engine
Live's
warping engine
has been dramatically overhauled, with more accurate transient
detection and a redesigned interface that allows you to drag the waveform along a
xed timeline.
New transient loop and envelope controls in
Beats Mode
allow for higher quality
warping, especially at slower tempos.
New
Complex Pro Mode
for even higher quality warping.
You can now
quantize audio clips
using the Edit menu's Quantize command.
1.2.2
New Groove Functionality
Groove patterns
can now modify the timing and volume of audio and MIDI clips in
real-time. A large library of grooves is provided, and grooves can be extracted from
clips and then reapplied to other clips.
1.2.3
Work ow Enhancements
Crossfades
are now available for adjacent clips in Arrangement View.
The
MIDI Editor
has been reworked, and editing MIDI is now similar to editing in
the Arrangement. An insert mark sets the precise location for clipboard operations,
allowing notes or time to be copied, pasted, inserted and deleted anywhere in the
clip. Enhanced keyboard commands also improve the editing work ow.
As a result of the new navigation possibilities in the MIDI Editor, it is now possible to
step record
MIDI notes.
Audio and MIDI tracks can be grouped into a summing
Group Track
. Group Tracks can
be folded or unfolded to help organize your work ow in both Session and Arrangement
View.
