**New to this**

Hello all!

I am an inspiring controlerist. and when i say i’m new to this, i mean i am a complete virgin and know nothing. I have a launchpad s and Ableton live and would like to use it to DJ and for live performances. Any tips or tricks or guidance as to where to go to learn what to do would be greatly appreciated. I have no idea where to begin.

Your best bet is to just look up youtube videos/google.

Seriously. They are your best friends.

Type “ableton live/launchpad tutorials beginner” into either. I’ve got a lot of full video Ableton tutorials if you want me to send some over? Give me your email and ill email the files over, or I’ll send them however you want
