Ableton Forum

I'm a guitarist and have started dabbling in electronic mainly due to ableton but anyways I recently saw what Christopher Willits does. He was just such an inspiration for myself and I was wondering if there were any other Ableton artists that used their guitars. Thanks.

RME fireface 400. Pretty much any interface with instrument level inputs will work. I live in an apartment so miking an amp isn't really an option yet.

I record all manner of instruments with Ableton Live. Real and unreal. Here's some slide guitar.

mm, i can't stand my interface's preamps for guitars. but then again I grew up playing through tube amps so I'm probably being anal.

My most guitarish track before I got side-tracked by the ukulele.

I used to use an old Line6 Pod till I got GRig, not sure which is best, GRig is versatile and pretty fkn great, but the Pod can be stuck in a gig bag and used live a bit easier than my monster sized desktop. YMMV.

I just use a cheap MAudio Fastback Pro audio interface but it does me well enough, one day I will get a proper audio box that can do 96k tho

my goodness, your stuff is brilliant. Curious where do you gig? And how do people take it? I come from a band background where it'd be high energy and I'm wondering if playing ambient music live is a good idea.

There are lots of guitarists who use Live. Including myself. Although sometimes, with Live, I tend to get more carried away with synths and FX.

However, there is prominent guitar on the following tracks, which are various electronic fusions.

album : extraterrestres - tracks 3,4,6,8,12,13 (this album was produced with Live 5, Live 6 and the odd Reason rewired and feels very old now) !
wunda - tracks 6 (in the final portion of the track),7
retrosonique - tracks 3,4
littoral awakening (maxi single) - track 4

Or my alternative rock project, all tracks.

Which is also composed and arranged in Live.

Check out Pasha, Homebelly, UKRuss and plenty of others as well.

I use guitar with live. You can listen here:

I've found the perfect results with an digital daw is layers and a good amp sim. I have used no mics amps at all in my album. (Which will be out on the 20th). With enough tweaking you can get a good tone quickly.

IMO Amplitube has it over Guitar Rig but the downside is that Amplitube LOVES the Ram.

Anyway check out my website for results.
