If you open an existing Live Set and switch to Arrangement View, the view’s contents will look rather sparse. However, you’ll need a high‑resolution or Retina screen to really see the difference: on a standard or HD screen the change isn’t that apparent, unless you ramp up the zoom level in Live’s display preferences.
A new lightweight text font called Ableton Sans is now used everywhere, adding a lightness and clarity to names and labels and making them more readable. Lines have been thinned or in some cases removed, and controls are now drawn with vector graphics for scalability. In fact, on an initial glance there are no obvious changes at all, other than a ‘lightness’ to its appearance that is partly down to a clean‑up of graphical elements. There are no obvious massive changes: there is less of a visual gulf between Live 9 and Live 10 as there was between 8 and 9, for instance. The first impression one gets when opening up Live 10 is one of tidiness. Neat Neat NeatĬontrols, track headers and clips in Live 9 (top) and 10, showing the new lighter look, with thinner lines and text. Amongst all the enhancements, there are also one or two casualties: support for Serato Scratch (The Bridge), which arrived with Live 8.2, has been discontinued, and if you’re on an older computer or using older plug‑ins, you might want to note that 32‑bit support is also gone. However, there are deeper differences beneath the visual makeover. The interface has been somewhat restyled and does look different, but the changes are subtle. (To be fair, though, Live 9 came about four years after Live 8, so Ableton are being pretty consistent with their releases.) Ableton have always taken a rather conservative, evolutionary approach to new versions, and this is no exception, at least on the outside. Have they succeeded?Ībleton Live 10 arrives amid much anticipation, coming some four and a half years after Live 9 first shipped.
