    I love the notion of keeping the focus on art rather than tools, that's so important, now more than ever

    Incredible to see the A/V crowd represented, the piece presented is ridiculously good!
    An episode on real time audiovisual performance would be amazing

    Very clear, thank you. Would love to see more content from composers/producing making music for film and video. Thanks Ableton!

    OMG I literally just clicked on the video because I liked his haircut and now i'm absolutely blown away WHAAT? Amazing work! I'm definitely gonna start experimenting with Ebosuite after watching this :O would love to know if this also works in realtime for live performing. The "Terminal" Projekt looks sick would like to watch the whole thing

    Cool tutorial, thanks! The problem is that Ableton doesn't have any frame timeline with a magnetic grid. It is so painful to put sounds in sync with the video in the arrangement view.

      Sounds like a job for Ableton 13

      Well, you could sync Ableton via midi time code or possibly rewire with a program that can do that. I don’t really think that that’s an issue though because even if you say plus or -30 ms from the visual queue, your brains going to see those things as correlated, so just turn off the Ableton grid and align the sounds where you like, if you’re trying to make stuff beat oriented on the grid with the music I like the beat grid in Sony Vegas

      Interesting point of view, and certainly could be more friendly bringing timeframes… still there are many ways to mark with sound on your video edition software… also I do love the accuracy of placing a note or a video in a specific milisecond, wich is hard to achieve with 24 fps or even 60 fps … so many millisecond between frames

    Which app do you use for grabbing the visuals and depth information to import into Unity?
    And do you use Unity to animate cameras and particles?

    This was really helpful! I want to try this video plugin and key/midi assignment for live audio video.
    For this piece you used the ableton video plugin more as inspiration to get the audio right, correct? Then made the video line up perfect to the audio in premier or FC or something? Based on what you created in ableton?

    If you like the short clip from @Zan Lyons, you really enjoy listen to it on his own channel. Because it sounds like the sound in this clip is mono, while it is stereo on his channel. Sounds even more immersive!

    I wish they'd actually make the AV stuff workable in Ableton. Right now you don't choose to do it with Ableton, you choose to do it despite using Ableton

    Wtf no release date for when 12 will be out? Why? Still don't have as many options as Logic yet. People think they're getting an update when in reality y'all trying to catch up with the other DAWs. Release it already.
