FAQ
Questions, answered.
What does LIA stand for?
LIA stands for Live Intelligent Assistant. LIA is for music creators and can sit alongside any DAW or workflow. “Live” because it works with the material in your session as you produce. “Intelligent” because it understands natural language in any language you speak, and the LIA app interface is available in 30 languages. “Assistant” because LIA helps you produce and keeps you in control, instead of replacing you. Native direct control is a separate capability, and today it is available for Ableton Live through LIA Bridge.
Does LIA output finished audio files?
No. LIA creates editable MIDI, beats, and ideas from natural language. It does not output finished audio files and it does not replace you. With native direct control in Ableton Live, every MIDI note, track, and effect stays fully editable inside your session. You keep full creative control.
How does LIA work?
You type a command in the chat, or talk to LIA with Talk Mode on paid plans, for supported Ableton Live actions like “create a 4-track beat at 130 BPM” or “add reverb to the vocals”. LIA understands your request and sends supported commands through the LIA Bridge on macOS or Windows.
Which DAWs does LIA support?
Ableton Live is the live integration through the LIA Bridge on macOS and Windows. Other DAWs are not live integrations yet. Join the waitlist for updates as LIA expands.
Can LIA generate MIDI?
Yes. You can ask LIA to generate MIDI patterns, melodies, chord progressions, and drum patterns directly inside Ableton Live. You can then edit and customize everything.
Do I need music production experience?
No. LIA is designed for producers of all levels. Beginners can describe what they want in plain language. Experienced producers can use detailed technical commands.
Can I control my DAW from my phone?
No. LIA is an app for Mac and Windows: you use it on the computer where Ableton Live runs, and the LIA Bridge connects the two. There is no phone app or web app, and control from another device is not available.
What languages does LIA support?
LIA understands any language. The LIA app interface is available in 30 languages.
Is AI-generated music copyrightable?
LIA doesn’t generate music. It assists you in creating it. Your compositions, MIDI, and audio are 100% yours. You own everything you create with LIA.
Will AI replace music producers?
No. AI is a tool, like a synthesizer or a drum machine. LIA makes you faster, not replaceable. The creative decisions are always yours.
How is LIA different from chatbots or finished-audio tools?
Generic chatbots can discuss music production, and finished-audio tools render audio files. LIA is different: it connects natural-language intent to editable Ableton session output through the LIA Bridge.
Is LIA free?
Yes, there’s a Free plan: one session every 8 hours, with a weekly cap. Paid plans start at €24.99/month for more production room, voice and more. Prices do not include VAT: the tax for your country is added at checkout.
How is LIA different from developer tools or single-DAW utilities?
LIA is a product workflow for producers. It combines a desktop app for Mac and Windows, multilingual prompting, Ableton Bridge control, and editable session output without asking the producer to assemble a developer stack.
Do I need to install plugins or software?
You only install the LIA app for Mac or Windows: no DAW plugin, Python setup, or config files. The app sets up the lightweight LIA Bridge that connects to Ableton Live.
Which features are live today?
Today LIA handles editable MIDI generation from prompts and references, beat building, conversational refinement, and mix suggestions in the Ableton workflow. Talk Mode, a live voice conversation with LIA, and dictation are available on paid plans from Starter up.
