Performance video … using Ableton and the Launchpad

Here is how I used Ableton Live recently. Getting more comfortable starting and stopping the loop … during the performance.

What you will be seeing …

1. At the beginning of the video, the loop is currently running.
2. I stopping the loop as the song is ending.
3. I setup the next scene and push the scene button … because it is a new tempo.
4. The loop is started, for one measure, and the band comes in.

See if you can follow what’s happening.

As I’ve said before, I’ve been using loops live every week for several months now. BUT the new stuff is starting the stopping the loop … real-time.

The other musicians love how the loops setup the feel of the song … and everything starts in the right place.
