⚡ Live 12.4 At A Glance

🔗 Link Audio

Stream real-time audio between Live, Push, Move & Note over your local network.

✂️ Stem Separation+

New time-selection processing & cleaner UI for splitting tracks.

🎛️ Device Buffs

Erosion, Chorus-Ensemble, and Delay get massive visual & sonic upgrades.

📚 Learn View

Interactive lessons and progress tracking built right into the DAW.

1. Link Audio: Wireless Collaboration is Real

The headline feature of Live 12.4 is Link Audio. Historically, Link only synced tempo (MIDI clock). Now, you can stream actual audio between devices on the same Wi-Fi. This means you can record a synth line on your phone (Ableton Note) and have it appear instantly as an input in your Live project—no cables required.

2. Advanced Stem Separation

For the remixers and samplers at Online Music Support, the 12.4 update to Stem Separation is a lifesaver. You can now:

  • Process only specific time selections instead of the whole track.
  • Remove specific stems (like just the drums) while keeping the rest in one track.
  • Track progress via a global progress bar.

3. Enhanced Sound Design Devices

Three fan-favorite devices have received a facelift:

  • Erosion: Now features a real-time spectrum visualizer (essential for surgical grit).
  • Chorus-Ensemble: Better delay time control for those lush, 80s guitar tones.
  • Delay: New LFO modes and waveforms for more rhythmic modulation.

4. Push, Move & Note Integration

Live 12.4 isn't just for your computer. Ableton Move 2.0 and Note 2.0 are launching alongside it. You can now record directly into these mobile devices using a mic or USB-C and use the Warp algorithm to keep your audio in sync regardless of tempo changes.
