Dear music maker,

For now, we’re apart. But the shared experience of music-making is something that can keep us together in spirit. All of us at Ableton are now working from home as well, and music – now more than ever – is helping us stay on track.

If you’re also looking for ways to keep making music at home, Ableton has some ideas:

The Live 10 trial period has been temporarily increased to 90 days, giving you more time to play with all the features of Ableton Live Suite. Active trials will automatically be extended. And anyone who has used the trial before can now use it again.

Our book, Making Music: 74 Creative Strategies for Electronic Music Producers, is temporarily free to download in .pdf, .mobi, and .epub format.

In collaboration with Max for Cats and Sonic Bloom, we’ve made the Stray Cats Collection, a free Pack of Max for Live devices. (Note: this Pack requires Max for Live, which is included in Live Suite or available for purchase for Live Standard.)

Vibrations by ModeAudio is a free collection of loops, samples, and Instrument and Effect Racks.

The Spectral Textures Pack is now free.

Our Learning Music and Learning Synths websites are free resources that run on any internet-connected device running a modern web browser. These sites offer an interactive introduction to music-making concepts.

Plus, keep an eye on our social media channels where we’ll be highlighting great music-making and inspiration as we find it.
