Day 341: 20 Ableton tips in 8 Minutes...

The excellent Cuepoint tv dropped this smart video the other day. I didn't get round to watching it right away, but am sure glad I did in the end.

I've been using Ableton for about a year now, and thought I was starting to get under it's skin. So when at the beginning of this video he said that current users might roll their eyes at a lot of the tips, I wasn't expecting to learn much.

I was surprised then to find that almost all of the tips were either new to me, or added on things I knew, but obviously hadn't been getting the most out of.

This video should be compulsory viewing after someones had Ableton a month or so, it could save you hours.

Day 116: Scratch in Ableton Live 8...

The more I see of Live, the more I love it. It just seems to be endless in it's capabilities. That coupled with it's intuitive user interface and amazing built in tools makes it just so much fun, and something that's fun surely leans towards being more creative.

Check out this sweet demo from dubspot where they misuse the new Ping Pong delay settings to achieve this effect. Much like real scratching it's creative misuse, rather than proper use that comes up with something interesting.
