Ableton<\/a> Live 12.3 is here, with the latest version of the popular DAW bringing a number of new features including Stem Separation in Live Suite, Splice<\/a> integration and more.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth noting that if you\u2019re already an Ableton Live user, the update to version 12.3 is totally free. Otherwise, the three tiers of Live \u2013 Intro, Standard and Suite \u2013 are available at a limited-time price of \u00a352, \u00a3194 and \u00a3404, respectively.<\/p>\n

So what else is new in Ableton Live 12.3? Chief among the new features is Stem Separation, available in Ableton Live\u2019s Suite tier. With it, you can instantly split elements from an audio clip \u2013 vocals, drums and bass, for example \u2013 and then reshape them however you choose.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s now the ability to bounce entire groups in place or to a new audio track \u2013 meaning faster ways to resample, or create transitional effects and microedits, for example. Another use case might be to paste bounced group audio to quickly create variations of your ideas without breaking your creative flow.<\/p>\n

So many producers use Splice for their samples nowadays, and now Splice is integrated directly into Ableton Live\u2019s Live Browser. This means you can now audition samples from Splice\u2019s library without ever switching windows, and even use the Search with Sound feature to locate samples that work with your existing sonic elements.<\/p>\n

Ableton Live 12.3 also features an updated Auto Pan-Tremolo device for easier access to tremolo effects, as well as deeper modulation and rhythmic control. Also featured in Ableton Live 12.3 Suite and for Live 12 Standard users with Max for Live is Generators by Iftah, a new pack of MIDI tools including Sting, which has been adapted from the well-loved acid bassline pattern generator.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Sequencers pack \u2013 first introduced in Live 12.1 \u2013 now supports reproducible arrangements, while Expressive Chords \u2013 introduced in 12.2, adds a Chord Edit mode, allowing you to transpose selected chords or enter your own using the Learn function.<\/p>\n

Alongside updates in Ableton Live 12.3, Ableton Push now features an XYZ layout, meaning its pad grid becomes a control surface for \u201cmovement and expression\u201d, meaning you can slide to shape instruments and effects. Push Standalone now lets you split stems, and supports class-compliant audio interfaces for \u201cexpanded recording and performance setups\u201d.<\/p>\n

Ableton Move 1.8: updates\"AbletonCredit: Ableton<\/p>\n

Push isn\u2019t the only hardware instrument to receive an update; Ableton Move \u2013 a portable groovebox which scored 8\/10 in our review<\/a> last year \u2013 now adds Live\u2019s new Auto Pan-Tremolo effect as well as a range of presets, and two new hybrid Drum Kits with a \u201chyperpop edge\u201d, provided by British-born Aussie producer Ku\u010dka.<\/p>\n
