Ableton Live 12.4 beta brings Link Audio streaming

A fresh Live 12.4 beta just flipped the script on how Ableton users move audio around their setups.

Link Audio shakes up routing

• Ableton Live 12.4 Beta lets users pass audio across a local network in real time.
• Link Audio pipes external sound straight into Live as an input.
• Latency fixes handle themselves, and extra gear stays on the shelf.
• Other apps show up inside the session without messy wiring.

Erosion and device tweaks

• Ableton refreshed Erosion and dropped it onto Move and Note.
• Push users get live spectrum visuals and smoother modulation blending.
• A new Erosion device replaces the old one, which sits as Erosion Legacy.
• Chorus-Ensemble and Delay both snag deeper modulation controls.

Stem Separation and Learn View

• Version 12.4 lets users split only part of a clip.
• Editors can target playable sections instead of full clips.
• Merged stems land on one track instead of spawning extras.
• Learn View replaces Help View with built-in lessons and videos.

Push gets deeper control

• Ableton Live 12.4 Beta turns Push into a tighter gear hub.
• Mapping tweaks can be created and edited directly on Push.
• Standalone Push shares audio across compatible devices.
• Max for Live devices expose more parameters on Push 2 and 3.

Move and Note level up

• Note 2.0 and Move 2.0 both add audio tracks.
• Move converts MIDI tracks into audio without extra steps.
• Hardware records through mic, line-in, or USB-C.
• Warping keeps pitch steady while tempo shifts around.

Compatibility and access

• Ableton supports Windows 10 and macOS 11.7.10 or higher.
• Beta access requires an Ableton Live 12 license.
• Members of the Ableton Beta Program can grab it.
• Public beta is live and ready for testing.
