Day 319: How to use Ableton like an MPC.

Many people come to software environments like Ableton after using hardware for many years. Sometimes that transition can be hard because you are used to the hands on approach of hardware, or simply because you've got to learn something all over again.

Here is a good video about setting up your Drum racks in Ableton (effectively what an MPC is) so that they work in a similar way.

Even if this isn't your thing the tips are real handy, as I didn't even know you could set up a 'simpler' preset that could be used with your drum racks, or indeed anything else.

This would also be real handy for live performance where you might want more than one version of a sample, with effects etc.
