Hi Everyone,
To make a long story short, about a year ago I bought Reason 5 and an Akai MPK49.
The MPK49 came with a demo copy of Ableton.
I dismissed the program because it didn't look like "real" instruments like Reason.
Well about a week ago I decided to give Ableton another try.
Wow I didn't realize how tightly integrated Live was with Akai.
The keyboard is response as well as the drum pads on top.
And the sounds in Ableton are really good.
There is something about the workflow that is really conducive to creating.
Also I am able to use my Maschine as a VST or midi controller.
And even drop the patterns I have created in Maschine to Live.
This is a BEAST of a program!!(Thats a GOOD thing )
I have a full suite copy on order. I can't wait.
I have been watching a LOT of youtube videos.
They are very helpful. But people seem to gloss over certain steps or
take for granted that you know the program.
I know hat live has videos built in as well as Abletons website has them also.
Can you all recommend books, DVD's or websites that may help me get a good grasp on this program?
I guess the only other question is can I get Ableton Live to do my laundry and make my toast in the morning.
I'll get back to you once I figure that out.
Thanks
Robert
