The History of Ableton Live

Just saw this one on bleepology.
You can find the full history here.

"how it all began...

I make music with computers. But I am also deeply into creating tools for making music. And this is why I became one of the creators of a quite amazing piece of commercial music software, Ableton Live. This text here shall provide a bit of insight into Ableton and my role there. Ableton was founded by my former Monolake partner Gerhard Behles, together with two other brave young man, a developer, Bernd Roggendorf and a finance person, Jan Bohl.

  1. I still use my version 1.0! It runs very well on my older laptop.

    I still remember when it came out. It was like the people at Ableton had a dream stealing machine and they used it on me.
