    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.
