Good tutorial. Hopefully someone might do something similar in regards to setting up Ableton live for a live performance.

Thanks for the nice tutorial. I think that video tutorials are very effective, and I would like to see video tutorials for software on AUDIOTUTS. They are more accessible and you get to see all the steps involved.

Love his stuff.
It’s been a really big inspiration for me overall.
Now all I need to do is to keep with it. Decent at the moment but I still have so much more to learn and figure out.
