Ableton Live 12 Suite is Ableton's flagship Digital Audio Workstation (DAW), combining the traditional linear Arrangement View with the non-linear Session View mode, and featuring an enormous built-in sound content library of over 71GB.

Its smooth, fast, and flexible workflow allows you to focus on the music itself, free from technical limitations.
