Getting Started with Ableton Live Lite 4
This guide contains a basic walk-through of Ableton Live Lite 4 (E-MU Edition) to
get you recording and playing back audio. A Proteus VX tutorial is also included for
Windows users. We encourage you to perform the steps on your computer as you
read so that you can "learn by doing."
Ableton Live Lite 4 is an innovative composition and performance tool. Live
combines digital recording, virtual instruments, and digital effects with an original
interface design that many people find more intuitive than traditional designs.
The following step by step tutorials are designed to get you recording as quickly as
possible. After you've finished the tutorial we encourage you to follow Ableton
Live's excellent interactive Lessons and read the Ableton Live reference manual pdf
