This is so useful -thank you very much. This really follows on well from the previous vid - excellent info. You are using your Minilogue for different sounds on different songs? When you are going down the session view, how does Ableton know how to change the sound on the Minilogue? Why aren't you stuck with the same sound all the way through your set? I do this with multiple instances of softsynths but I can't see how you do it with hardware? Many thanks and keep up the excellent work!
Thanks. I use a blank midi clip to send out a program change message to the Minilogue. Going to be covering this in my new series on my new live set. Part 1 is on the channel at the moment.
Nice one. Glad it helped. Check out my new series on Live here - Tutorials - Electronic Music Production with Ableton Live - Level 1: ruclips.net/p/PLpD4Y7QWZvbVQaFZRxtb2519grsCU26jX. Loads more videos to come in this new series. 👍
In a sense you didn't add much new information from the last video, but it adds a very useful perspective to see the hardware/physical side of things. For me, this mini-series mostly assured me, that I had the right plan all along. And that it will work once I get around to it. But I also feel this might have saved me some pitfalls, and sent my thoughts in the correct direction. Either way I found it an interesting and personable view well worth the time. And I'm sure it'll be a massive help to plenty of people. Also your music is awesome mate ;-)
Part 1 and part 2 of this video series we're both extremely helpful. Thank you! But I do have a question. Are you using the mx1 as your audio interface? If so, how did you get past the low volume the mx1 brings into Ableton Live? I have really close to the same setup as you but when I try to record into Ableton Live it's extremely quiet almost unusable. If you could create another video explaining how you actually get your recording into Ableton using all your live gear through the mx1, that would be incredible. I've been fighting with the mx1 for months trying to figure out how to get everything to work as though it appears you have..
Thanks for the comment. I will see what I can do. Never really had an issue with volumes etc from the MX1. I am starting a new updated series soon on how I play live so will try to cover it in that series.
@@rezzonator awesome! Thanks for the quick response! I was about to get rid of the mx-1 for another mixer but now you have me second-guessing myself. If you've made it work, obviously I am doing something wrong or I have a defective device. I would love to DM you so I could pick your brain. I'm guessing it's a setting on the MX 1 or a setting in Ableton live that I have set up different from you that's causing me multiple problems
@@rezzonator I'm using a PC. Seems as though no matter what settings I use I can't get the mx1 and Ableton to work well together. I'm able to get sound through Ableton Live well enough but when I try to record all the individual tracks into Ableton it never works out either everything ends up very glitchy or extremely low volume or both when I try to play the recorded clips in session view
really helpful thanks, i enjoyed your video. too much of the material on RUclips is overproduced and built for people with small attention spans , stacked with nauseating overlays and silly sounds effects. Your video was human and real. I wish more of youtube was like this
Great tutorial bro, it was very helpful. If I got some song with diferent tempos, lets say one is 110 bpm and the other is 118 how can I increase it gradually?
If you were doing this within Ableton Live then you could automate the tempo in the master track and have it gradually increase over whatever length of time you want.
Yeah, in this case is for a live show in Ableton, how can I increase it gradually in the middle of a Live session when I push play on a clip with a diferent tempo
Absolutely amazing! Learned a lot of stuff through this short series. I do have a question though. How would you set up a project if you didn't have the stems for a song? For instance, the instrumental of someone else's song? Thank you so much!
I would be harder to do without stems as you lose a lot of flexibility. You could still chop the track up into sections and launch those sections in whatever order you want but that would be about the limit of what you could do without stems
Very Nice Stuff Mate ) keep these live performance videos coming.. it makes more sense to me on this kinda set up. I've a TR8 And planning to go for the ableton push 2. Well you think its a great start for me for a live session as I also Produce tracks??
Thanks for the song transition tips! It's not very easy to find some clear good advices on this. I've one question: do you have to bring all your "Project songs" into one "Project Mix" each time? What I mean is that usually one work with one project per song, so how to bring all these projects together for live mix without having to almost start over from scratch? (I'm not making myself very clear but I hope you see what I mean). And how do you handle midi controllers assignments between each track/projects?
Pierre-Henri BOURDEAU I would usually create a new project and bring all the song parts I want into that one project so I have just one project with everything on
Hey thankyou for showing this! I always wondered, how do you switch to a new track which uses an other hardware synth sound. You save the sounds on an empty pattern and let midi do the work, so when the new song comes in, you first manually select the right sound on the synth?
Very helpful, thanks! Was just wondering. What if a piece of hardware breaks down being on tour. Do you have audio clips as backup or would you search for a replacement piece of gear?
Anton Vasiliadis I would probably just set up some return tracks in Live and recreate them on the fly while performing using Push as a controller for the sends
Very useful series, learned so much, thanks! Just wanting to know your thoughts on using the maschine jam vs push? The push seems like it has more going on and obviously works better with ableton, but are there any real disadvantages of using maschine jam for this sorta thing?
ooooh, multicoloured flashing lights.....GEAR, GADGETS....love it. Might just be what converts me over to ableton afters years and years of avoiding it. Syncopated bassline! Nice lookin chap as well :o)
Awesome sequel buddy! i have the push and was thinking to use that next to the mpc40 mk2 as ita a light set up. would you reccomend that? or do you think the push is enough?
Thanks for the reply buddy! your videos have been an excellent learning gateway. i will see have far i can "push"the limits of my push first before getting anymore toys :D
Thank you so much for sharing this! Very helpful and informative. Question, what stands are you using on your desk? Specifically your Minilog, laptop and System 1? Very beautiful and clean setup! Also, what sound card are you using?
Thanks. The stands are just basic DJ style laptop stands...they work really well for synths the size of the Minologue. Soundcard wise O use the Roland MX1 mixer as my sound card. Works really well with low latency.
what laptop you use ? im looking to buy a windows laptop just for produce and life performance( i have mac and im not to familiar with windows details so the help will be much appreciate ) , i recently buy the aira collection and ill love to have some tutorial how to prepare each instrument in ableton ( like each channel etc input / midi in and audio )
Miss Dchamps Hi. I am using an Asus laptop. It's an i7 processor and 8gb ram. I7 processor is best for music production. If you watch my latest video series called How My Studio Works that should answer your questions about routing etc. Thanks for watching.
Hmm, i see only that you are sending MIDI notes to hardware and you play with different machines. But how do you change the patch on the synth that are you tweeting ? Surely, you do not have the same bass line on each song. Or, you make the patch on fly ? Thanks
MIchael Wiggler on the hardware I will either change the patch manually or sometimes I will send a program change message from a dummy midi clip in Ableton Live
that's a nice spaceship you got there
this 2 part tutorial was great man! Very informative!! thanks so much!
Great stuff mate. Everyone has their own way of workflow and performing. It is refreshing to see people like you share this.
*Yup, the Way is the Goal ;)*

No messing about. No fluffy intros. Fucking brilliant. Both parts. Cheers.
Super, learned a lot!! (watched both videos) Thanks!!
Learning a lot dude from your videos ... and loving your sounds
fat jabba thanks. Much appreciated

tronlady1 thanks. Ableton Live is pretty awesome. I've never regretted switching over to it a few years ago.
THANKS A LOT!
Awesome sequel buddy! i have the push and was thinking to use that next to the mpc40 mk2 as ita a light set up. would you reccomend that? or do you think the push is enough?
Sounds of Snow Push on its own is very powerful but I guess with added gear it does give you more performance options
Thanks for the reply buddy! your videos have been an excellent learning gateway. i will see have far i can "push"the limits of my push first before getting anymore toys :D
Sounds of Snow having said that you can never have enough toys!
Haaha, yes! i am a bit jealous of your set up dude
Sounds of Snow Its changed loads since this video...a lot of new toys have been added!!

I do not see using effects like cut off, reverb, delay... you do not use them?
Nice Studios on Rezzonator Privat 😍😚😊😘
A DJ who actually plays instruments? Do you know how to "modulate" the tonal centre though in the middle of a song Mr Resonator? :o)
That MiDi controller setup is insane. To me, that is an unnecessary amount but it helps.
URSkrub - CS:GO & osu! Haha. ..that sums up my studio...unnecessary! but it's good fun. 👍
hi, what kind of Audio Interface do you use? Low latency and stability?
all kinds of things I use the MX1 as my soundcard. It does a pretty good and is stable
How do you hook up your TR8 with a mixer?
Lorne Bruciare I use the Roland MX1 so its all connected over usb which makes life very simple!
Does this allow you to record the Scatter effect?
Lorne Bruciare pretty sure it does if you are recording the master output from the MX1. I will try it out later and let you know.
cool
well that's pretty cool... just hate the 4 on the floor drone
First, YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!.
