Willits Talks About Ableton Live

Just when you thought Ableton Live season was over, here comes a very useful series of videos by the experimental musician Christopher Willits. If you want to discover some new ways of hooking up your Live rig, then read on…

Where There’s A Willits, There’s A Way

I briefly mentioned Willits’ tutorial series on xlr8r in a previous post, but now that he has released episode number ten I figured he deserves his own dedicated piece.

This series is ideal for anyone who wants to get more out of Ableton Live – from learning the workings of the software itself to using it with a variety of external controllers. The first episode is shown here, and links to the subsequent episodes can be found below the video…
