Ableton Live guru Brian Funk – who has shared hundreds of free Live Packs – shared this video, demonstrating how Note can be used as a mobile sampler for Live.
“My favorite feature is how easy it makes creating sample-based in an instruments right on your phone,” he notes. “In this video, I sample a drum kit, upload it to Ableton Live using Ableton Cloud, and build it into a Free Ableton Live Pack you can download and use in your music!”
Loop Create is free, it is awesome and it is coming on Oct 29th
Ableton has announced the full schedule for their Oct 29th Loop Create – a free international event that offers a full day of sessions for music makers.
You do not need to be an Ableton Live user to participate – the event focuses on topics that apply to all musicians – but you do need to register.
This year’s event is focusing on collaboration, and promises to explore new options that are now available.
To kick off the day’s theme of collective creation, Hildur Guðnadóttir and Sam Slater will talk through their approach to collaboration, in a keynote interview moderated by Craig Schuftan. Then, you will get a chance to join fellow attendees in the Loop Cafe, a virtual hangout space for chatting and sharing ideas.
Next, you can join a workshop with Maya Shenfeld, where you can exchange text scores and try out new processes for making music with the help of Dennis DeSantis. Once that’s wrapped up, Gafacci and Juba will open the virtual floor for questions and comments about working with others in the studio.
After another social breather in the Loop Cafe, it’s time for the music-making challenge with Aquarian and Mustelide – just bring your wildest ideas to help them move forward with their unfinished tracks in a session moderated by Afriqua.
Loop Create starts at 4pm (Berlin/UTC+2) and runs until 10:30pm on October 29, 2022. Find out more on the Ableton website.
Ableton Live 11.2 is here – AUv3 iOS plugin support for Mac and a refreshed reverb for all.
Ableton has announced the availability of Live 11.2, a free update that is more of a tweak than an overhaul, but the release of Ableton Live 11.2 is still notable for several key reasons.
Firstly, there is an improved Reverb device – the one that comes included with every edition of Live. Besides offers a refreshed and modernised UI, it promises improved usability and better sound.
Mac M1 Live users can now run Moog’s soft synths in their desktop DAW
Live 11.2 also introduces AUv3 support, making more plug-ins available to music makers using Mac computers with Apple silicon chips. These include Moog’s Minimoog, Model 15 and Animoog Z – already available to users of Logic Pro and GarageBand on the Mac.
