Dummy clips are something ive never understood and never bothered to mess about with, so i was gonna try teach myself then write a tutorial on what ive learnt… but i found these video’s on <a href=”http://www.vimeo.com” title = “Vimeo.”>Vimeo</a> which teach you more than i ever could in under 10 minutes..

Watch ‘n’ Weep..

From Wire To The Ear.

I was going to post up a guide on how i personally use my uc33e with ableton but i got half way through writing my article and realised it was more or less repeating whats already in Condra’s tutorial on the ‘ableton live dj forum‘ so i thought id just scrap mine and point a link to his.

There is also a number of other handy tutorials over there that are a really good read, so head over to the forum and check it out!

Live’s ‘In / Out’ Section is a flexible tool that i use everytime i make a tune.
With it you can route audio & midi signals from one channel into another which will decrease CPU load as you will be able to use less effects & vst’s.

This effect has been used on loads of songs and is great for creating some haunting vocals.

*** Edit ***
Riotschool noticed that in the last image, ive left the track at 250bpm… Ive no idea how this happened.
I think i must have hit the ‘:2 / *2′ buttons by mistake before taking the screen shot… oh well!

Just to get things going on the site, i thought id start off with a basic tutorial on warping tracks inside ableton.

If your new to ableton / warping, it basically means that if you are mixing two songs together they will beatmatch perfectly and be in sync with each other no matter what tempo your at.

This means you will be able to concentrate on being more creative with your mixes instead of focusing on beatmatching.

On with the tutorial.
