Summary of Huston’s Presentation
My brief summary of Huston’s event is… Huston illustrated how to live sample into Ableton audio clips, then convert these clips to Drum Racks and Simpler devices. He also illustrated slicing. Most of this with done with the Push 2 without using a mouse. He also showed how to use the CV Tools Max for Live device to introduce tempo variations into DFAM. At the end of the event he started riffing and previewing some presets on the Pro 3. It was deep, so this just touches the surface.
Here is some of the gear Huston used.
– Ableton Live, Push 2, Simpler
– Ableton CV Tools. It’s a Max for Live Pack included in Ableton Suite. Learn more here https://www.ableton.com/en/packs/cv-tools/.
