Unlike other software sequencers, Live is designed around the notion of being as much an instrument for live performances as a tool for composing and arranging.

跟其他音樂軟體比較，Live是圍繞這個概念設計在相當多的樂器演奏作為一種呈現的工具，用來設計和安排。

It is also often used for precision mixing of tracks by DJs, as it offers an entire suite of controls for beatmatching(對拍), crossfading(融合), and many other effects often used by turntablists(唱盤).

它還經常用於精密混合而DJ混合器，因為它提供了整套的控制項的Beat matching，crossfading，以及許多其他影響往往使用turntablists。

However, not unlike other DAWs, it has no support for traditional musical notation.

Melody

Melody

A melody(旋律), also tune, voice, or line, is a linear(線性) succession of musical tones(音樂鈴聲) which is perceived as a single entity. In its most literal sense, a melody is a sequence of pitches and durations, while, more figuratively, the term has occasionally been extended to include successions of other musical elements such as tone color.



Melodies often consist of one or more musical phrases or motifs(主題音樂), and are usually repeated throughout a song or piece in various forms. Melodies may also be described by their melodic motion or the pitches or the intervals between pitches (predominantly conjuct or disjunct or with further restrictions), pitch range, tension and release, continuity and coherence, cadence(節奏), and shape.
