For years, Livesync has helped performers keep two Live sets synchronous — a backup set for quick switchover if a computer crashes, or a separate machine running video/lighting synced to the on-stage set. It quietly served many acts who needed that extra safety net or staging flexibility.

Today, we’re publicly retiring Livesync. It will no longer appear on our main website, and we’re discontinuing maintenance and support. From now on, only the legacy version (2.3.0) will remain available — as a free archived download on maxforlive.com.

We have come a long way! The release of Videosync in 2016 may have been when you first heard about Showsync, when we could finally introduce the world of AV to two new concepts that we had been developing in the years before: warped video playback in the Ableton Live Session view and a standalone visual signal flow that follows the Live plugin chain. Or just in 2020, with the first release of Beam, when we introduced the first system for composing lighting shows from the Live interface that scales over any fixture configuration.
