yeah, same here. i've only just got into this and could use some advice too. ableton live is great and it's amazing how quickly i've got a set together - importing loop components of my tracks. But there's a lot more potential control over the sound that i need to learn about.Robot Criminal wrote:I would also like to hear some tips & tricks on live performance with ableton live. Like what setup do u guys use? Just your laptop and xone92 and/or some other midi controllers or an extensive set of outbox gear (like compressors or whatever the f* for sound or all this goes on inside ableton)?
Also, I can quickly see that a more comprehensive MIDI controller would be very useful. I've got the Evolution X-Session DJ controller. Wouldn't mind getting a Faderfox set-up though - looks pretty handy.
I recommend that everyone interested in this thread check out this link also - maybe not all of our kind of sound (or maybe it is for some) but the video is very insightful and inspiring: http://www.native-instruments.com/index ... imexile_us
I happened to find this guy playing to a modest little gathering in a local pub a couple of weeks ago. Didn't know who he was and then by coincidence someone sent me this link a few days later. The amount of control and improvisation capabilities he has in his set is really stunning.
