Breaking down how I perform live with Ableton Live, as demonstrated in my most recent video! Focusing on the gear I used, midi mapping, key settings, and more!

I did so much research to find out every little details so that I could share them with you! it is especially difficult to find tutorials for live bands or instrumentalists, and to find useful information for being creative within folk and indie genres in Ableton, so if that's you as well, I hope you find this lesson helpful!

  • @rumademedoit

  • @maximiliancrasser1605
    Thanks for inspiring me to use Ableton in a performative way. I will buy a midi foot controller, and I think the Blackstar Live Logic (160Bucks) will benefit you as well! Also I like your persona, thanks and goodbye!
  • @DJDiskmachine
    Hey dope video, there's some good tricks in there :) How do you switch between tracks when performing? Separate projects or all in one huge project? ☺️
  • @schlimmpf158
    One thing that evaded me for ages is that you can grab a clip and press tab to move it between session/arrangement
  • @10000rajaram
    Cool vid ! Is it possible to set length recording for audio signal ?
  • @Spumoni23
    If you select an empty clip with the keyboard while that track is armed, it should start recording at the next quantization.
  • @ericawillis3567
    Thank you so much for this! Do you know if it’s possible to place multiple songs into one session with a set intro, verse and bridge as for each one?
  • @danielkandela
    Hey. Can You tell me how to set the lenght of the clip so my guitar stops recording automatically so i dont have to click rec button again. ? I have ableton 11 lite.
  • @fredbarnes196
    You messed the drum loop up. How do you recover from that playing live? It seems like all you can do is overdub the loop but what you want is to overwrite it. Is that possible? Seems like a required feature.
