While it&#8217;s not publicly available yet, we were able to get a hold of the beta and wanted to give the Splice community a unique first look into what Ableton Live 11 has to offer. In the video above, we explore some of the many new features in Ableton Live 11, and put them into practice by building a beat right within the latest iteration of the DAW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What new feature are you looking forward to most? What DAW would you like to see us discuss next?
