Visual Perception 2


Ableton is a music production software, with an easy to use interface.  The first thing that pops out at the user are the color coded rectangle in the middle of the interface.  These boxes are different samples one musician can use to play a part of a song, or play multiple samples to create a song live. The overall box these features are contained in is the main feature of the interface controlling sound levels and what is being played.  The layout of the interface is very easy to use and find items.  Each  part is is separated into 3 large boxes.  On the left is the devices and electronic instruments column which uses symbols, indents, and line breaks to navigate through the content in the hierarchy.  The bottom box is used for the user to add effects to the sounds or song they are currently playing.
