Thanks! 😊 The APC40 MK2 is so good with Ableton Live. When I ordered it I was a bit concerned about getting a midi controller that is that old in years and might be outdated, but that thing is a beast!
@@RandomNoiseMusic I've had so many synths, grooveboxes and controllers but never the APC40. I just didn't get around to hooking up with one and now I've just ordered an Arturia Minilab 2 (orange edition 👌) to noodle some clip content with I think it's time to get the APC40 mk2 to be able to do some creative work with all of the content I'm making. Mousing about can be a buzz kill and even if they bring a mk3 out soon there's so much that can be done with the 2 already to satisfy my needs. All I needed was the inspiration and your video gave me that. Worthy of a sub if ever there was such a thing.
Thanks! 😊 The APC40 MK2 is only a midi controller, so there are no sounds on it if that is what you mean. all coming from Ableton scenes and i just control the jam with it
It's a great question, usually when I start to compose in Ableton Live in the session view I won't be using it and rely more on my keyboard. And when I have enough clips for a basic idea I would go and perform those with the APC40 and record the session so after that I can adjust and add to the structure in the arrangement view. So I find it not only great for live sessions, but also coming up with the basic structure of the track. I can of course do it manually as well, but the feel of live performance I think really makes a difference and makes the track more expressive and "humanized". Specially with the all knobs and automations movements. Perhaps I can make a full tutorial for that process in the future if it will be interesting
This was the moment I knew I needed an APC40 Mk2. Bravo, excellent mix.

Spoiler alert: I bought one and will never sell it unless they somehow make a better one.
@@noodldoodl1970 Nice! Hope you're having fun with it :) It's indeed a great controller
@@RandomNoiseMusic Same for me, just bought it not even 2 years ago, but the possibilities are amazing. Great live performance!

What software are you using?
Ableton Live
So the APC40 is clearly great to do live performances with, but how does it fare when composing?
