Life as an Ableton Developer

We figured the best people to persuade developers to come to Ableton are our own staff. We interviewed some of our developers and came up with this: a 16 minute movie about working at Ableton. We hope that once you've watched it, you'll want to work here, too.

Excellent post. Do any of the Ableton developer's maintain a blog?

Thank you. To answer your question: we don't have any official Ableton blogs, but some of the guys probably blog around in their spare time.

@SebastianBoldt They use alot of python for communication with devices (if i remember correctly), but yeah i found out shortly after posting the main bulk is c++ which is great because I already know c++ comfortably, I'm currently researching the maths behind DSP programming now and am getting back into developing AUs and VSTs to bulk up my experience and vocabulary.

Thanks for the post

@sacredgeometry

They use Python to connect there Applications to the World wibe web.

Live is written in C++. If you want to develop software like Ableton live , you need a good knowledge at DSP , Mathmatics and so on. You also have to develop your skills over years to be able to understand and develop kind like this.

Is live completely scripted in Python? also when working in osx do you use cocoa frameworks alot? oh one more quick question what IDE do you guys tend to favour for coding python on OS X? thank you, im trying to learn python so that by the time i finnish uni and give or take a few projects and years i will be proficient enough to start thinking about applying to work with you wonderful people.

ambitious i know, but hey defiantly very possible

peace
