The public beta for Live 12.3 just dropped, and this free update for Live 12 gives new possibilities for working with samples, new features for Push 3 and a new audio effect for Move, Note and Live Lite.

Stem separation

Live 12 Suite and Push Standalone now have Stem Separation. You can now isolate the individual stems, such as vocals, drums, bass etc, from any audio clip in Arrangement, Session View, or directly from the Browser. Brought to you in collaboration with Music.Ai.

Splice integration

Splice users can now get access to their library directly inside the Live Browser. Filter, search, and audition your Splice samples and sync them with the tempo and key of your projects. ‘Search with Sound’ will also instantly find samples that fit the rhythm and harmonies of your track.

Bounce Groups and Paste Bounced Audio

Bounce to New Track came in Live 12.2, but you can now easily bounce entire Group tracks in place – or bounce a section of a Group track, including all its processing, to a new audio track. You can now also copy a clip or selection and paste it as bounced audio into any track or take lane.

Updated devices

Auto Pan-Tremolo has had a full makeover, boasting a new UI along with new modulation controls. Access finer control of tremolo effect. The effect will also come to Move, Note and Live Lite for the first time.

All built-in instruments, audio and MIDI effects in Live now have an A/B feature that lets you set and quickly compare two parameter states.

Push

Push 3 users now have new ways to create using the Push expressive pads – making Push even more flexible as a standalone instrument.

The new XYZ layout allows you to shape the sound of your racks and devices while you play, by sliding your finger over the expressive pads – and pressing to add punch-in effects. Rhythm Generator is a new layout for Push 3’s Drum Racks that lets you create, shape, and play with rhythmic patterns intuitively using four vertical sliders. Touch-sensitive step editing provides a gestural way to adjust the velocity of notes individually or in bulk, by holding the Accent button and sliding on Push 3’s expressive pads.

Alongside the updated devices and Packs, Stem Separation and Bounce Groups – all of which are coming to Push 3 Tethered and Standalone – Live 12.3 makes it possible to use class-compliant audio interfaces with Push Standalone. This allows you to expand Push’s inputs and outputs, record using your interface’s mic preamp, perform live with DJ mixers, and more.
