After a few years in which Ableton has worked on a variety of extra-curricular projects – launching Push and Move hardware, updating its Note app – the past 12 months have seen the Berlin brand turning the bulk of its attention back to its flagship DAW. Case in point: Live’s 12.2 update is only a few months old, but Ableton is already launching its next free ‘point’ release, Live 12.3 – which enters public beta today.
Scanning the release notes for 12.3, it quickly becomes clear why Ableton is keen to turn this update around quickly. Its two most significant new features both see Ableton addressing areas where Live was notably a step behind some of its key competitors.
