ya, i just picked up ableton live too.. its a bit of a learning curve.. but i’m already having fun a few hours ago. thanks for the tips

Phillip that’s rad man. I have never been quite able to figure out how to do that and actually stopped using Reason (I think it was at 2.0). I guess I’ve been kind of a purist for Ableton;p But yeah, templates have saved me loads of time having to reprogram everything from scratch. I change it up every couple of months, just so I don’t get stale using the same old tricks. Meeting up with other electronic musicians/djs helps keep things fresh too.

thank you so much for the comment! You got a blog you write at or follow?

KILLER list. Ableton can do anything and everyone uses it differently, but I cant imagine any user not seriously benefiting from following these.

I hadnt made a default template but when I started It became obvious how much time and hassle I was going to save.

Not sure how I came across this post from 2008 but I found really helpful. I’m new Ableton user, so I’ve been mining youtube and blog posts so I can learn how to mix. *Thumbs up, RSS add* =)

Really good advise here. I’ve been using Ableton for just over 2 years to make live dance/pop-rock with a guitar and vocoder..

The only other thing I find myself doing all the time is having two versions of my set(s) (LITE and FULL).

The FULL version gives me all access to every aspect of my live set. And the LITE is an optimized version of the FULL set, that just gives me general control over the stuff I use live.

Thanks for your post! It’s good to see I’ve been on the right track..

if you use ableton live, you probably can’t go wrong picking up an Akai APC 40
