The session view is an alternative workspace to the arrangement view and allows performers to build, audition and experiment with loops in clip slots that can be played back using a MIDI device. You can also double-click instruments, sounds, presets and effects from the browser to instantly insert them into the arrangement view. Content can be added into the arrangement view by dragging and dropping compatible files from Finder/File Explorer or from Live’s browser. Playback moves from left to right, triggering the output of any audio or MIDI content it hits. The vertical lines of the arrangement view represent beats and bars.
The horizontal axis displays time measured in minutes and seconds. You can add MIDI, loops, sound effects, video and entire songs into the arrangement view, as well as record audio and MIDI using external recording devices. The arrangement view is where you build, compose and arrange songs along a linear timeline. You can toggle the browser by pressing the triangular icon in the top left corner or by using the keyboard shortcut + + B on Mac or + + B on Windows. You can also use the browser to access folders on your computer without having to leave the software. Located on the left side of the Ableton window, the browser is where you can access instruments, sounds, presets and effects to create music, as well as the factory content that comes with Live. Understanding each of these core sections will give you the foundational knowledge to start making music using Ableton Live. The Ableton Live workspace can be broken down into six main sections: the Browser, Arrangement View, Session View, Tracks, Device View and Control Bar. If you’re new to Ableton Live, the first thing you should do is familiarize yourself with the software’s interface. Close the Preferences panel by selecting the ‘x’ in the top left corner of the window. Now that you’re all set up, it’s time to start learning the ins and outs of Ableton Live.
