Air Presence and Air Harmonic Drive modes for creative sound shaping. Dynamic Gain Halos for convenient input level monitoring. Loopback functionality for recording audio from computer applications. Two line outputs and a dedicated headphone output. Digital upgrade from an eligible Ableton Live Lite license to Live 12 Standard. Unlimited audio and MIDI tracks in the DAW.

Professional Audio Recording and Creative Music Production The audio interface enables high-quality recordings without the need for an extensive studio setup. Its integrated microphone preamp is suitable for recording vocals and acoustic instruments using an appropriate microphone. The dedicated Hi-Z input allows electric guitars and bass guitars to be connected directly to the interface. This is especially useful when working with virtual guitar amplifiers, effect plugins, and other digital sound processors.

The converters support audio recording at resolutions of up to 24-bit and sampling rates of 192 kHz. The line outputs offer a dynamic range of 120 dB, enabling detailed audio monitoring during mixing. Separate volume controls for studio monitors and headphones provide convenient listening level adjustment. Whether you are recording individual tracks or editing more complex arrangements, you can maintain control over your monitoring environment.

The two Air modes expand your creative sound-shaping options during recording. Air Presence can enhance higher frequencies, helping vocals and acoustic guitars achieve greater clarity and definition. Air Harmonic Drive adds harmonic content to the signal, producing a more distinctive sound character. Both features allow you to experiment with the tone of your recordings before applying additional effects in your music production software.

The colored Dynamic Gain Halos make it easier to set appropriate input levels. They provide clear visual feedback on signal strength and help prevent unwanted clipping. The Loopback function also enables audio from computer applications to be captured through virtual inputs. This can be useful when creating samples, recording educational content, or combining different digital audio sources in your productions.

The second component of the bundle is Ableton Live 12 Standard, supplied as a digital upgrade from Live Lite. This powerful digital audio workstation provides a comprehensive environment for recording, composing, arranging, and mixing music. Session View allows you to experiment freely with clips and loops, while Arrangement View provides a structured timeline for developing complete songs. Together, these two workflows support both spontaneous creativity and detailed music editing.

The Standard edition offers an unlimited number of audio and MIDI tracks, allowing you to develop complex productions with numerous instruments and sound layers. Available instruments include Analog, Drift, Simpler, Drum Rack, Collision, Electric, and Tension. The sound library contains over 38 GB of material, including samples, loops, and ready-to-use sounds that can provide inspiration and a starting point for original compositions.

The software supports multitrack recording, non-destructive audio editing, automatic plugin delay compensation, and extensive MIDI functionality. MPE support enables expressive performances with compatible controllers, while Ableton Link helps synchronize supported applications and devices. Support for external plugins further expands your sound design possibilities. You can start with a simple beat, add a bassline, record a guitar part, and gradually develop your ideas into a complete production.

Important: The UPG Live Lite (DIGI) version is an upgrade that requires an eligible Ableton Live Lite license for activation. It is not a standalone full license that can be activated without a qualifying base product. The audio interface is normally supplied with access to Ableton Live Lite. However, upgrade eligibility is determined by Ableton's licensing conditions, which should be checked before activation.
