    Can't wait for Ableton 13 where my computer will keep generating predictive music after I'm dead
  • @evanseesred
    Dude, Ableton needed to hire you for the Live 12 announcement. Understanding this makes me realize what a seismic shift this update is (and what a strategic advantage it will be for ableton media composers)
  • I love how the notes will visually change in real time. Good demonstration and the videos only just started.
  • @22Ruffet
    I love how you demonstrated these new features, your videos are always sonically and melodically pleasing implementations of plugins and DAWs, so inspiring!
  • @audiodevout
    your face when you find a good midi selection is really how it this video feels! super cool content got me really excited for whats coming
  • I agree, this is the biggest Live update in years. Fantastic stuff. And fantastic videos, I must say. Keep 'em coming!
  • @ultralife73
    This is stunning. You still need to be able to lay down a decent chord but the little varieties this creates are really subtle and usable!
  • @rockstarjoe
    I'm new to your channel... this was hugely useful and informative! I love these MIDI transform functions, they can be really inspiring creative tools.
  • @sned_music
    Damn dude, thankyou, best breakdown of actual new compositional MIDI features I've seen. The onament and strum features alone are amazing, no more manually staggering notes 😆
  • @DaveTherrien
    this is the best video I've seen on these new Live 12 tools !
  • @BIG_PASTA
    Excellent video thank you! Just got very into hybrid orchestral composition for film recently, and its great to see you demo these tools in a way that translates to that kinda thing! My brain was already stirring up ideas and your examples just made me even more excited to try em out :)
  • This is fantastic man thanks for making this video. I’m new to Ableton 12 and there’s a lot of stuff to “find”. Very helpful!
  • @aeko
    So insane. Thanks for the detailed walkthrough!
  • @HowardCharlesUK
    I've only used the strum feature 😂 I'll have to try the rest of them now!
  • @avantagonist
    thanks for going through these! I've been holding off upgrading since Live 9, these are the first new features that have made me want to upgrade. Hope even more composition tools like these are added in 12.
  • @Crazy-Society
    Fantastic explanation! The best I have seen! Thanks so much!
  • @ChuckSilva
    This is a fantastic and inspiring tutorial my dude! THANKS!!!!
  • @alansalomon
    Awesome video. tnx for showing these tools in action.
  • @r1cht3a
    1000% mind blown by this update. To me this makes Live a whole new tool. The one I've been hoping for. So glad I discovered your channel a while back too. You're my top Ableton YouTuber for sure now! Thank you for your work :)
