Ableton Forum

Force yourself to finish a certain number of tracks maybe just 2 and get them out there for critique.

Then get another tool to add into your arsenal.

Try stopping the individual clips/channels instead of stopping the whole sequence.

you can audition your samples in realtime, once you load a pad with, say, a kick drum you can hit 'next' on the interface and it'll load that one. Once you have a pattern you can quickly audition the different sounds you'd want in it. I don't think theres a way to audition a sound without loading it...

Nice.

so glad I tried monomod. Thanks for all your work.

I haven't had a chance to try Monomodular yet, but I've been reading about it, it seems like the solution.

I'm trying to find a stable way of using some of the great tools that were created by the monome community with my launchpad, I have been able to use them and they are great, however they are not stable enough to be depended on for live use, I had a rather disastrous crash last night when performing...

That should get you going and you can customize it for your own needs.

That sounds really nice, that thread over there is such a mess it's hard to find gems.

Good luck!

How long have you been doing this? Anyways, these are just abstractions, I've seen people do grand things live just hunched over their laptop using a mouse. I know they are doing something , but consumers are consumers, people will always want 'a show' and how an artist interprets that is up to them...

woops repost

That may have came off as I am condoning it. really I enjoy pretty much doing everything live, I use either launchpad with some of monome emulator stuff, or maschine. however half the time people think I'm dj'ing anyways, I shrug.

…you can clearly see that in the area of popular electronic music the 'performance aspect' has clearly not evolved but devolved… Fixed that for ya. This is very true, most people don't want to see you 'jam out' they want to hear something cohesive, if you can jam and make something cohesive, awesom...

Used something like this with vvvv, but never max
