Ableton Live 12 is probably the most creative and the best for live performance, and in this beginner’s guide, I’ll show you why.

Most DAWs force you into a set workflow. Record, edit, arrange, repeat.

Ableton Live does things differently. It lets you jam, experiment, and perform in real time—all while giving you the tools to finish tracks fast.

In this video, I break down 5 key features that make Ableton Live stand out in 2025:

💻 Session View & Arrangement View
🎛️ Warping for perfect time-stretching
🎹 Convert audio to MIDI in one click
🎚️ Instrument Racks & Custom Macros
🛠️ Max for Live & hardware integration

Whether you’re sketching ideas, producing full tracks, or performing live, Ableton Live gives you the freedom to create your way.

I’m Craig, a musician, Ableton specialist, and music tech lecturer with over 10 years of teaching experience at top universities like ACM, BIMM, ICMP, and WaterBear. I’ve taught thousands of producers how to master Ableton Live and Push 3, helping them go from feeling overwhelmed to actually finishing tracks.

Beyond teaching, I’ve worked as an Ableton playback tech on primetime FOX TV shows like Name That Tune and Don’t Forget the Lyrics and as an Ableton tech for artists like Years & Years, Melanie C (Spice Girls), and Sam Fender. I’ve also played at legendary venues like Brixton Academy and Madison Square Garden.
