Ableton Auto Warping
In Live, tempo is completely fluid. Throw in whatever you like—from single drum loops to multitrack creations—and Live keeps the groove locked down tight. Match the tempo to a new mood, tie it to a movie’s key frames, or keep up with your jamming partners—all without stopping the music. Live also lets you fix timing errors and continue tweaking after the fact, making it simple to repair that near-perfect guitar riff, abuse the groove of a drum loop, or get creative in a hundred ways we haven’t even thought of yet. Audio is now a rubber band!

Ableton Session Drums Tutorial
Session Drums from Ableton is a meticulously multisampled library of acoustic drums that reproduces the nuances of a recording session and puts you in the engineer’s seat. Session Drums gives you full control of the close mics for each drum as well as the overheads and room mics, so you can craft the perfect drum mix for your songs. Session Drums also includes stereo kits appropriate for various musical styles and a variety of MIDI grooves to speed up the production process.
Created in collaboration with ChocolateAudio, makers of the acclaimed Imperial Drums, Session Drums delivers great natural-sounding acoustic drums to Ableton Live users. Session Drums covers a wide range of styles and offers deep customization capabilities, all from within Live’s familiar workflow.
Session Drums puts you in complete control of the drum mix. Each instrument within Session Drums has been painstakingly multisampled, so you’ll have all the flexibility of a studio session drummer at your fingertips. Each drum has also been simultaneously recorded from different microphone positions - close, overhead and room - allowing you to dial in just the right amount of each. For added realism, each drum also includes “bleed” samples, which let you mix in the ambient resonance of the snare. You have a choice of playing with a variety of sticks, mallets or brushes. You can even choose different types of kick drum beaters. Each drum and microphone uses a separate channel, so you can conveniently mix, add effects and swap drums to customize your kit. With Session Drums you can load up a brush kit, replace the snare, play the ride cymbal with a mallet, drop the close mics out of the mix (leaving just the overhead and room mics), add a little bleed to the mix from the mic placed below the snare, tune the kick drum down a bit, or customize any other way you can imagine.
