Hey guys so I'm working in taking things to the next level and planing on making an ableton live performance.
I have been tweaking my set for a while, it is composed in 8 chanels in session view: (A) Audio (M) Midi Instrument
Instrument: (1)Drums(A), (2)Synth Bass(A),(3)Synths(A), (4)Organs(M), (5)Arp Synth(M), (6)Miscelaneous(A), (7)Vocals(A), (8)Fx/Fills(A)
Effect: (1) Snd Dly, (2) HP Filter ,(3) Snd Rvb ,(4) Snd Rvb , (5) Arp Time ,(6) LP Filter ,(7) Snd Rvb . (8)----
Each channel contains loops of my tracks as well as multi tracks of other artists tracks. I control clip launching with my launchpad.
Volume levels are controled with faders in the nanokontrol.
Effects mentioned in each channel are controlled with the knobs on the nanokontrol.
Y use the buttons trigger 1bar loop with the beat repeater.
I use a 49key simple m-audio midi keyboard with a footswitch for the midi instruments.
In the master channel I have a small mastering chain to make everything more punchy.
This is how I´m currently working.
However I can´t figure out how to take it with the next level, I feel that there is something missing, I feel that many of the transitions are tooo forced.
As I dont have too much material of my own to make a full hour set I've been scrambling all through the internet finding stems, multitracks, acapellas of other artists such as dada life, pendulum, shm, deadmau5, etc.
In order to increase material also I´m adding other artists full tracks to include every once in a while.
Lets get to the point.
I want to be able to make a sort of deadmau5, justice, daft punk, the twelves ableton live act. (If some of them make pre recorded sets I dont care, Im pointing to the idea of what they are trying to show)
So what would you recommend me to do?
I want to go in this direction with my current equipment.
Any ideas on how to optimize my ableton set?
How would you manage something like this?
thanks for the help!
