this is probably the MOST IMPORTANT technique you could EVER teach a home producer - This solves sooooo many problems we have 1: Stuck on an endless loop thats going nowhere 2: Ur song missing sections and reptitive 3: Tackling procastination and beat blocks 4: ACTUALLY FINISHIN SOMETHING
I missed this AbletonKONTROL feature SO MUCH! WOW it really exist and its free! Hell Yeah! I am using DJ Controller wich was normaly designed to MIX Tracks in Traktor, but this Kontrol Script will make the perfect mapping so much more comfortable! Thanks!
For me, coming from a dj background and recently stepped into production the way of working here is exactly what native instruments was trying to do with their remix deck controllers in NI traktor pro 2. Imagine exporting your clips to traktor remix decks (for example decks C and D), using 2 NI F1 controllers or the apc 40 mk2 mapped to traktor pro 2. Layering the clips with the beautifully traktor effects. That's live remixing. Ableton, the apc40 mk2 and NI traktor pro2 (and their controllers) are on a very close base in this!
Definitely great way of arrangements! I struggled with arranging but I tried doing life arrangements before I seen this tutorial and you confirm exactly everything I was trying to do thank you for sharing 👌🏾🙏🏾
Loved this! Thank you!! I can tell you're into some deep meditation sesh:). One of the most clean and concise tutorials ive seen for the APC. Will 100% be trying this out live
Yea I tried to go as FAST as possible, while still making sure to cover the important details. It was a challenge but I think it went well! Thanks so much for your support!
I just bought an APC40 from a pawn shop and it seems like it can be used as a very powerfull insturment. My only problem with working with it is that there are very few video tutorials on how to actually opperate it and I'm brand new at using ableton in general. I would love to learn how to do live performances with this machine as I am a new DJ learning the craft and artform but I guess that my best bet will be just to spend a bunch of hours just messing around on it and learning more about the software and hardware until I'm able to fully understand it.
This is some educated music production communication. Nice work, I really liked how effortlessly you communicated about arrangement culture. This was great 🙏🙏
Great video, I will try that out. I hate unmusical copy and pasting. ClyphX looks intersting. I never tried it because I was afraid of all the additional features. I have so much possibilities already :D
yes me too, to me the first step is to do a single 6 knobs macro with multifunction per knob to control an instrument rack, (Synth + FX´s) in the way i can improvise emotions, creating relax and tension, then once i get ride of that go to the ClyphX Macrobat, but the first part of ClyphX XclipS Xclue Xcontrol can be put in practice from now, i guess you know is all about getting practice recording performances, then place them arranged in a musical and art manner, buff... not easy but that´s real most modern Techno productions.
Good stuff Liam, long time no see! I was hoping to come in contact when I'm come home to the Bay Area if you still do lessons maybe we can get together. I just have tons of question about the MkII, hope you are well!
i just bought the akai apc mini at 13:30 ish you went mad on the kick then it kicked in abit later? how? do you do this while the clip or scene is changing. I know you can change when the next scene/clip will kick in.
i have really started getting into session view its awsome. i am getting ableton standard at the weekend. But i was wondering how i can group scenes so i can keep the music flowing from song to song. I know machine has a group button but can i do this on all midi controllers. I currently have a novation impulse and looking at getting a midi controller for my loops and fx controls
I addressed this point in the video. In the end I also midi mapped to the user knobs on the top, however that was simply for ergonomic reasons. The power of macrobats really gets amplified once you delve into larger, more complex setups. This was a small demo, limited to 4 tracks and 8 knobs, but on a bigger scale production, the macrobats would be a massive help to stay organized in a way that's not possible with Ableton Live's default mapping alone. *Bonus - there are also MANY more features that come with ClyphX besides macrobats. I'd encourage you to check out the site and learn about the wide variety of functions available. Happy mapping!
That's what I was thinking, because when he's jamming, it's not the ClyphX track that is selected. Why? I was looking for something like that though to be able to organize my hard mapping in a better way. I'll check other fonctionnalities it's very interesting even if I don't get why the ClyphX track is not selected during the demo.

Awesome, glad it helped
Really appreciate this! Just got push 2 and the mkII. Great combo... 4 years after this vid ;)
Nice tutorial. I like the 4 x 4 work flow concept.

this was an amazing watch after so much crap to go through...i needed this thank you
Beatiful...Real Tutorial! Actually not just a tutorial but a bunch of cool concepts! THanks
thank you!
Agreed, really informative and definitely an improvement for workflow ideas. Thanks liam

Nice job, I use a similar process for prepping for my Live Sets. I really like the 4x4 concept as well.
Bought one and can't wait to play! Cheers.

This is what i was searching for. Thanks :)
Thanks Liam! I'm definitely going to check out native Kontrol 🙂
Hope you enjoy it!
First tutorial i have ever followed and understood to the end. Thank you!
Great tutorial man! Thanks for the inspiration!
Absolute game changer for me! Thank you so much.
thanks for watching!
Loved that demonstration! Really cool technique, especially if you DJ and produce, this would be a killer combo. Thanks for sharing this :)
Cheers!
Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it, cheers!
Great tutorial!
FANTASTIC.. I am going to do the same workflow. I love it...
awesome!
Genius stuff, I have much to learn... Thanks for the great vid!
Awesome workflow inspiration, thank you!!!
Any time!

Just was i looking for thank you
So good man.....Like the concept allot...
Thanks for the vid 💯💯
nice :)
i guess clyphx is a bit of an overkill just for controlling macros, a multi-macro knob in M4L is the easiest way to get around with that
Ey Liam, do you have a link of your 4x4 topic?
Thanks
Good stuff Liam, long time no see! I was hoping to come in contact when I'm come home to the Bay Area if you still do lessons maybe we can get together. I just have tons of question about the MkII, hope you are well!
Is there a video whre Liam is getting more into details regarding the 4 by 4 Workflow?
Dude
i can tell this guy loves the sound of his voice......
Andres gualtero I know. It causes him to be unlikable.
Thank you! Cheers!
Great tutorial!
Not having Ableton, can one use the APC40 MKII with GarageBand?
this is great for live performance
nice tutorial!!!!
i like that this channel is different than others
Thank you so much!! Glad you're enjoying!!
Awesome video! ClyphX looks really interesting, but hard to use!
My APC40Mk2 encoders are not sending smooth 0-127 values and I would love to know how you are getting yours to work!
i just bought the akai apc mini at 13:30 ish you went mad on the kick then it kicked in abit later? how? do you do this while the clip or scene is changing. I know you can change when the next scene/clip will kick in.
Hey guys, plugin is not supported for Live 11. Any alternatives / suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Where is the download link? At Pyramind site I can find a form to get the link on mail, but it never came.

i dont write synth leads i like to jam over loops 😁
Great tutorial! Is there a way to create an effect rack without using external stuff? Can I do it all in Ableton?
hey awesome tutorial! Can I ask how do you configure your volume faders so that when they go all the way up they hit 0db?
On the APC40 MKii
@@DigitalCreatorsAcademy put a utility device on each track at the end of effects chain and set it to -6db
thank you!
Love the idea, always wanted to do this.
Do you think it is possible to do this with a Maschine mk1?
Yes for sure! Just use the NI Ableton MIDI Remote Script and you are off to the races! :)
very cool!
Hi, is it really necessary to have that MACROBAT channel in order to hard-map the macros on each channel to the APC?
I addressed this point in the video. In the end I also midi mapped to the user knobs on the top, however that was simply for ergonomic reasons. The power of macrobats really gets amplified once you delve into larger, more complex setups.

Very informative vid! Thnx :)
To give a big shoutout, you can't just say, "big shoutout." Thats like Michael Scott saying, "I declare bankruptcy!"
Soooooo good

Isn'T the 4x4 concept kind of limiting ? Just saying..
You are missing the entire point.
Considering most everyone barely makes it out of 2x2, I wouldn't say so.
sir my apc mini donot backlight led on pls help
ITS NOT FREE, ?
The old adage comes to mind; Those who can, do. Those who cannot, teach.
thanks for the support kaiser! if you'd like to check out some of Liam's work you can find him on souncloud here: soundcloud.com/mountainofyouth or find him on Ultra records!
Clyphx is no longer a free download as Liam says... Now they call it clyphx pro and they send you to Isotonik and make you pay 46€,
maybe little less body if u get caught behind in mixing imo ;) 1
