#ARTISTS WHO USE ABLETON SOFTWARE#

I usually program a bed rhythm and then begin to record endless ideas jamming on instruments in Session view until I lock-in.

We do a lot of sample based stuff in the box though, cos chopping and processing audio in Live is just so fast and flowy. We generally use Live as the main MIDI sequencer for external synths/drum machines, and we’re running an audio interface with a stack of inputs so we can record all our instruments at the same time, jam out on hardware and have the flexibility to edit each part separately later to whittle things down into songs. To illustrate the range of uses, we got the lowdown from some of our Liveschool Trainers and Contributors on how they’re using Ableton Live: What an artist uses it for is also a question – for some it’s a jamming tool for creating ideas, others a performance tool for stage use only, while many use it as an end-to-end tool for the whole process of creating, producing and performing. How it works is really up to what works best for each artist because it’s so flexible in its use, and so universal in how it integrates with other things.

It can also host other software effects and virtual instruments, as well as capture physical instruments and environments and control the equipment in your studio. Ableton Live is a program with serious depth – armed with the right knowledge it can be your all-in-one writing, production and performance tool, using only what comes in the package.
