Don't know if this has been done, but after an experience on a packed dancefloor this weekend I think this is absolutley vital.

SHIFT+SPACE starts your set playing from where you last stopped it.

I was experimenting with using the arrangment view live and accidentally clicked the stop button :(, when i started it again it began playing from the start and I had to fooking do some fast thinking to get back to my original point! smoothly.

SHIFT + SPACE is VITAL! (If only to allow you to pick up where you left off editing when someone calls you!) :wink:

Carry around as little gear as possible. If it all fits in one bag, good. If you need more stuff, have sturdy but lightweight and easy to move around cases to lug your gear around. If possible, have them made so you can put them on a table, lift the top and you can start playing by connecting just a few cables and turning stuff on.

I'm getting one as soon as possible or I'll end up in a wheelchair :|

"Don't be lazy" is my favourite when it comes to music production (not real life!).

excercise? yoga? sit-ups? push-ups?

always use lotion when you masterbate, or astroglide.

Patience. You wouldn't expect to be great on a guitar in a week, learning a musical tool like Ableton is no different.

Fantastic tip Tom :)

Also, well done on your tips and tricks video - It provided me with my fave tip of the week:

get a copy of DBlue Glitch. You will save days of microediting.
