1. Live 5 Released at Summer NAMM 2005
In the midst of an Indianapolis heat wave, Ableton celebrated the
release of Live 5 at Summer NAMM 2005. Demos highlighting Live 5's new
features were performed by a team of M-Audio product specialists,
surrounded by faithful Live users and a crowd of press and industry at
the M-Audio pavilion.
Presentations by CEO and Ableton co-founder Gerhard Behles and
Press/Artist Relations Manager Dave Hill Jr. showed off Live 5's new
features, including MP3 support, track freeze and the new Live Clip format.
"With the release of Live 5, we focused on user requests, with our
largest development effort since the first version of Live," said
Gerhard Behles at Ableton's Friday press conference. "While Live 5
includes a comprehensive suite of tools needed for a professional
studio, it remains streamlined and easy to use." Watch Dave Hill's Live
5 presentation video at Harmony Central:
