Ableton

At first, I didn’t think I would use the “capture” function much in Ableton.  But after using it a few times, I swear by it.  It is so much easier to get ideas down fast, without having to push record or set a tempo.  Capture does just that.  It allows you to play without recording and automatically remember all the notes you play.   In this video, I am going to show you the ins and outs of capturing MIDI.   This way you can use it like a pro and get more musical ideas down faster.

The Ableton Utility is such a charming little device. I’m am going to show you 7 different ways that I use the Ableton Utility to improve my mixes and workflow.

Learn how to search samples fast without having to open folders after the search in the Ableton browser. Depending on where you got the sample from, even after the search, you still must open folders to get to it. This can be time consuming. I found one way to get to samples faster is to add them to an Ableton collection.
