Buyers of LIVE 2, the performance-oriented audio sequencer by Ableton, will now be entitled to free sample or sound effects downloads from the Sonomic Online Library.
Ableton, the innovative Berlin-based music software company, and Sonomic, the premier provider of sound library management solutions, have joined forces to bundle the Sonomic Online Library Card with Ableton’s LIVE 2 audio software.
Sonomic’s Library Card will enable LIVE users to search, audition and download 10 samples or 5 sound effects from the Sonomic Online Library. Currently over 200,000 sounds large, the Sonomic Online Library features the complete and most-up-to-date collections from Zero G, Sound Ideas, Sampleheads, Q Up Arts, BBC, Universal SoundBank and many more.
Once downloaded in standard .wav or .aiff formats, Sonomic sounds can be instantly stretched, warped and mangled in LIVE 2, the award winning sequencing instrument for Mac OS9, Mac OSX and Windows.
The Library Card offers LIVE users virtually an unlimited sound palette to draw upon and furthers the sonic possibilities already inherent in LIVE 2. LIVE 2 is currently shipping with the Online Library Card enclosed in the box.
About LIVE
Introduced in 2001 as an audio sequencer to be played like an instrument in live performance, LIVE was quickly embraced by studio musicians and post production professionals because of the swiftness and ease with which they could sketch out musical ideas. LIVE version 2 offers enhancements to the performance and jamming features of the original software and also adds multi-track recording and editing with “Elastic Audio”.
