- In this series, I will explain how to use Ableton for live performances. In this video (Part 1) I show you how to set up the basics, which we will build on in the following videos.
I got inspired by an interview Anomalie did with Reverb, where he shows how he uses Ableton to perform live. The way he set everything up, he doesn't have to worry about learning a choreography to change the sounds live because everything is automated.

Thank you!!!!
Exactly what I was looking for! 👏👏👏👏
Cheers!
That's awesone, thank you!
Great tutorial!!! Looking forward to part 2 💯👊👊👊👍
Thanks very much! I'm working on it😁
Informative stuff... Thanks
No problem!
This is great, set my live shows up this way after watching reverb tutorial as well.. still tweaking my temp all the time.. not complicated once you comprehend define and apply to workflow.. can get a little complex .. great explanation and demo.. this would have saved me a lot of time.. lol
So glad to hear that you can manage to put this to actual use! Recently I’ve been doing it slightly different so I’ll probably make a video about my method soon
great video. thanks again fellow matt!
Thanks Matthew! If you like Anomalie, stay tuned because there's something special coming soon👀
thank's for it!
Good Job
Glad it helps you!
Thanks u r da best!
Omg this is so helpful. Thankssss
Glad to hear that!
Thank you.Great
Lovely to hear!
thanks a lot! greetings from Bs As Argentina.
I'm happy to help you!😁
yes yes yes .. thanks alottttttt
You're welcome! Do you play live?😁
Very helpful. def gonna experiment with trying this with my live rig
That's so great to hear! What kind of music do you play live?
@@MattFlanc Still tryin to find my sound in my latest project but sort of experimental electronic stuff with guitar and drums.
@@3xAudio That's cool, imma check some of it out! So you're a guitarist/drummer?
Great!! Just saw the reverb video. Thx for going into detail. I still however prefer to use session given the non linear/improvisation nature of my use cases.
Thanks! That’s the beauty of Ableton, you can work with a timeline in arrangement or clips in session! Both are great for their own usecase
Do you know if there's any way to route Arturia's VST as a external instrument, I was trying but nothing works. I'd be very thankfully if you can help me.
Great video, Matt! I just wish you used Logic so you could show us how to do it on there!!!!
Thanks! Unfortunately the method shown here doesn’t work in Logic. Ableton is still king when it comes to playing live
@@MattFlanc hi Matt! I have actually figured it out! It’s a bit long winded BUT I’m going to set it up, trial it and if it works I might dare to do one of these myself 😂 thanks Matt!
@@franciscothings That's awesome! Best of luck with it mate, and let me know how it goes or if you need any help😊
Is there anything similar to chain selector in cubase that you can automate for live playing?
I don’t know Cubase unfortunately
my vsts isn't showing up in external instrument "midi to". What is wrong?
This is awesome am wondering can this work for vocal effects
This can work for pretty much everything so yeah it does!
@@MattFlanc cool thank you let me try to see how to do that based on this video.
@@gabrielmundaka If you get stuck or you make something cool, please let me know!
i can’t seem to route external instrument to other instruments like serum, or even ableton instruments. kontakt does work however. i’m confused on to why that is. i mostly use serum, ableton instruments. u guys have any tips on this if possible? thank you!
Hi Kenyi, when recording this video I thought it was not possible but I found a way! Here's how to do it:
1. Creat an enpty midi track and arm it. (This midi track will receive all the midi data and send it to the correct instrument)
2. Create the track with the instrument (serum, operator, massive...)
2.1. Select the empty midi track you just created in step 1 as the Input Type
2.2. Enable input monitoring. (This is important or you won't hear the instrument!)
This should do it, hope this works for you!
@@MattFlanc wow genius solution!! going to try this tonight than you so much i’ll let u know how it goes!!!
@@Kenyi_ Awesoms, I'm looking forward to your response!
@@MattFlanc Unfortunately, External Instrument won't recognize Serum, therefore the whole Anomalie-Method won't work with Serum. The creation of separate midi tracks controlling the instrument (serum) tracks seems pointless, because External Instrument won't recognize them either. So if you're working with multiple instruments, and automating the switching between them as Anomalie does, this method won't work. :( If I misunderstood something, please let me know!
@@matthewgiles3255 You're absolutely right. The Anomalie method only works with plugins that support receiving external MIDI. However in a commenr above I explain a different way to do it that works for all plugins!
