So you are looking FOR some ableton screen shots, or you specifically want "4 screen shots"?
Grammer asside,
What do you mean? are you trying to figure out how you should lay out ableton for DJing or something? Need more details. But if you understand how to use ableton, sometimes its just better to have things set up the way you want, and not just use someone elses layout. MAke things you own and unique and it will sound better
.
Good luck

do you mean crammer aside?
so my laziness got you some laughs; easy!
what i mean with screenshots could basicly be called templates.
i edit the thread (i ment for not 4...)
the screenshots (1 per song should be enough) shall represent song arrangements in general. preferably electronica or pop tracks are highly wanted by me.
so: you have completed a track that you are comfortable with as a track, then just make a screenshot of your music app (nomatter if live or not) showing its arrangement so i can see: aha, 4bars intro just with hihats, now comes bassdrum and snare plus a pad for 4 bars, and so on.
got me now, gunslingers?

smog g,
best way is to make your own. There are plenty of ideas on this forum but an easy way is to take a favourite tune from an artist you like and import it into Live. Now listen through the tune and add location markers when ever something happens, say the a new drum is added, or a breakdown etc. To get even more visual you can create tracks for each element and add dummy clips so you can build your own screen shot / tmeplate, whatever you want to call it.
This will greatly help with your understanding of arrangement.
Hope this helps.
