Ableton has announced ARA2 support – opening up a whole new Melodyne experience for Live users. It’s as if Melodyne were part of Live: The two programs merge into a seamless workflow that lets you think less about the process and work faster, more freely and more creatively.

• No more transfers – simply open clips in Melodyne
• Blobs instead of waveforms, right in the Live interface
• Perfectly synchronized timelines
• Melodyne automatically follows clip trimming, moving and copying
• Melodyne works directly on the take lanes during comping

Thanks to ARA2, Live 13 will make it much easier to harness Melodyne’s full potential – from vocal editing and arranging to sound design and mixing. According to Ableton, Live 13 will be released in early 2027.

Having the chance to try out the upcoming ARA integration in Live made Sensho jump straight in, using Melodyne even more. Here, his first impressions.
