Ableton Live Looping Performance Setup: Improvise Like A Pro



Live looping setup that took me 10 years to create, because it’s based on improvisation. After thinking about user interaction with electronic devices for many years (and after even writing a masters dissertation about it) I have come to the conclusion, that we can create an improvisation/jamming setup that fully encourages uninterrupted flow by these 4 categories: knowledge, flexibility, positive feedback loop and workflow. Have you tried it and how does it work for you?

  1. Exactly what I'm trying to build these days. Great video, very motivating, thanks! I would add the absolute necessity to have the click in the headphones, especially if you don't start with rythmics, necessiting to have at least 4 outs on your audio interface. Thanks again!

  2. This is great!

    I have a small but though. The thing I like most about improvisation in general is that the most magical things tend to not happen in making something perfect, it is the unexpected that makes the performance come alive. So maybe not focus too much on "perfect improvisations" (that's a lot of pressure to put on a person), but practise what to do with mistakes that inevitably happen instead. By mastering the mistakes they're not a problem, they become a natural part of the performance.

    That being said, following your timeline I still have 8 or 9 years to go before I'm ready for this, so take what you will from my comment. 🙃
