Ableton describes Collections as a way to organize favorite or most-used plugins, sounds, and more, but really, it’s a customizable tagging system. One of the more exciting new features in Live 10 might be initially glossed over by many: Collections. You can also look forward to a new library of sounds. Some previous plugins have been given a refresh: Utility now has an improved gain range and the ability to mono bass separately, and EQ Eight and Split Stereo Pan have extended low frequency slopes for finer control. Ableton is introducing four new plugins - the tools used for everything from sound creation to signal processing - that will come standard with the software: Wavetable, a synth that promises “deep, flexible modulation,” Echo, a multi-purpose delay unit for adding texture, Drum Buss, an all-in-one drum sculpting tool, and Pedal, which delivers overdrive and warm distortion. There’s a lot of new, notable changes to Live in version 10. Live 9, Ableton’s last major upgrade to the title, came out in 2013 alongside the debut of Push, a hardware controller for Live with 64 pads designed to play and program beats. Developer Ableton has announced Live 10, the next version of its popular music production software.
They share common features, but Standard and Suite have additional features, instruments, Packs, and effects. Live 10 comes in three editions: Intro, Standard and Suite.
