AbleCapture (Ableton Screen Recording Software)

Introducing AbleCapture the first Screen Recording software exclusively for Ableton Live

AbleCapture solves on of the most annoying problems for producers making a YouTube tutorials for Ableton Live, and that is the inabilty to capture session audio from any other screen recording software.

Although you can use OBS Studio alongside an additional plugin to route audio back, this workflow does not go down well with producers as it is long and complex.

AbleCapture is designed to make this easy, effortless and all in one place

What AbleCapture does differently

It records one application’s audio, in isolation. Ableton plays, AbleCapture captures Ableton, and everything else on your machine stays out of the file.

The ASIO problem, solved

Here’s the part other recorders can’t do.

If Live is running on an ASIO driver, as most producers’ setups are, the audio never touches the Windows audio engine at all. It goes straight from Live to your interface. No recorder can hear it. That’s not a limitation anyone has been lazy about; it’s how ASIO works.

AbleCapture ships its own ASIO driver that sits in front of the one you already have. Live talks to it, it passes everything through to your real interface untouched, and copies the audio on the way past.

Same latency. Same buffer size. Same control panel. Your interface behaves exactly as it did before — it just becomes recordable.

Built to stay out of the way

A recorder that makes your DAW stutter is worse than no recorder. AbleCapture runs its capture threads at a priority that deliberately yields to your DAW, and encodes on your GPU rather than your CPU.

Tested with every core on an eight-core machine fully loaded, recording for 3 hours while Live played: zero dropped frames, zero audio glitches, zero buffer overruns.

Try it on your own setup for Free

The one thing nobody can promise you in advance is that the ASIO side works with your interface, because it wraps whatever driver you already own.

So don’t take my word for it. Download it for free and record for 24 hours, If you like it, buy a license, No watermark, no length limit, nothing held back. Record a real session, listen back, and decide.

What you get

• Records display, a single window, or a region you draw
• Ableton’s audio in isolation, including over ASIO
• Optional microphone alongside it
• Hardware H.264 or HEVC encoding, so your CPU stays free
• Global hotkey — Ctrl + Shift + R — that works while Live has focus
• Live preview of exactly what’s being captured

How licensing works
