Live

author: Ableton


While Ableton Live is not optimized for native spatial audio workflows, its flexibility and compatibility with third-party plug-ins and Max4Live objects (e.g. Xp4Live, E4L) make it possible to work with spatial sound, binaural, and VR setups.
Live is best suited for artists and sound designers who prioritize electronic music production and live performance and like to extend its spatial audio processing using external plug-ins.
