Making a blog collection of Ableton Live tutorials

Ascension · Post by **Ascension** » Mon Sep 29, 2008 2:55 pm

I decided to dedicate a blog page to compile some Ableton Live tutorials here: http://ableton-live-tutorials.blogspot.com/

I'm looking for suggestions on other video/text tutorials to add to the site.

I think that's a great idea. Here's some:

just a couple of the many threads about how to do 'loop pedal' style looping:

and another one about looping that also has a BUNCH of info about mackie control emulation:

yeah man this is great. the beat repeat with henke is SO helpful.

Here are 2 of mine:

Brake - A Live Lesson where I talk about how the track came to be, track per track explanation of the effects I used and why they are there, and some of my thoughts and guidelines I use for Arranging and Mixing.

Racks Lesson - A step by step starter’s guide on how to use racks.

heres another mouseless setup that also has midi resampling/looping and a nifty way to resample A/B cues with the push of a button

edit: also heres a pretty nifty way to "morph" midi from midi track 1 to midi track 2, it works pretty great on percussions anyways.

If anyone has packs of plug-in presets they want me to link to, let me know. Once I become more Ableton savvy I plan on making some more original content and putting up some plug-in presets of my own.
