More Information
Musicians and music producers use Ableton Live to create and edit music. The program includes many tools that allow users to record, import, arrange, and apply effects to musical tracks, before exporting those tracks as a song.
Users who want to customize Ableton Live's appearance can do so using ASK files. These files are alternately referred to as Ableton Live skins or Ableton Live themes. Ableton Live includes a handful of default ASK files, which allow users to choose between variations of light and dark modes. Other ASK files, which contain more varied themes, are available online from various Ableton Live-related websites.
