Learning to produce isn’t always as easy as you might imagine, for some it can’t be quite a steep learning curve and an arduous task. The most important thing is to get a grip of the basics before anything else, and that’s why we’ve launched our new series – The 9 Lives Of Ableton, hosted by tutor Anthony Chapman.
In each of the nine chapters of this series, Anthony will be breaking down a different aspect of the software to help beginners get to grips with its interface and the basics of it – just as you can experience on our online Ableton Live Certificate Program (where you can now get a FREE copy of Ableton Live when enrolling!).
This fourth chapter in the series focuses on using macro controls and automation. These elements of Ableton are fantastic and provide a really great way to control your instruments via the mapping function – that way you can control many different parts of the track. Automation is a self-explanatory function that can be set to automatically control the parameters of various elements within the instrumentation and arrangements in your piece of music.
