[DilligansGrid]

Thanks vespers! You rock!

[bleaksolaris]

I wonder how good sugar bytes turnado would sound.u should do a video with that m8

[murdahorse]

another awesome video. thanks for sharing

[SuperRagingRabbit]

Very nice tutorial! helped me a lot! But how would you set this thing up, with more beats? So that you can perform for a longer time. Just putting them under the other beat on track 1 and 2 seems a little bit unhandy. Do you know what i mean?

[ericdavidheredia]

Vespers, I've pretty much watched all of your videos now.. I'm still somewhat new to this scene, and was having a hard time finding some starting ground. But your videos, especially this set, are amazing. Now that I understand a little on how I can manipulate this program I'm going to tweak it until there's nothing left, haha. Thanks a lot man! You've opened the doors to everything, now I just have to run through them all! Thanks again!

[detr1mentalist]

thanks heaps for this, iv been looking for tutes on how to get the most out of my apc40. this trilogy provided a breakthrough technique for my music experimentation and practice :)

[DJVespers]

@detr1mentalist Glad to hear. Thanks for watching!

[DJGRANTCARLISLE]

The Effects you have set up through Artillery are sick. I'd be interested in how to make these same effects with Abletons Native EFX and or Using Max. I checked out the price of Artillery and Jebus...My Wife will kill me if I spend that amount of money on another Ableton device.

[DJVespers]

@DJGRANTCARLISLE Ableton has trouble with momentary style effects like this. Artillery is still your best bet, or NI The Finger or iZotope Stutter Edit.

[balbuin]

Dude, this template and workflow is GREAT! lots of fun, and I'm using a NanoKey and an Akai LPD8, works just about the same! awesome tutorial

[DJVespers]

@balbuin Thanks for watching! 

[rhym3]

keep doin' a good job!

[Crystaline07]

Amazing Trilogy, thank you to share the knowledge. Really appreciated.

[DJVespers]

@Crystaline07 I had fun making this one. Glad you got something out of it. Happy music making! Namaste.

[BradRamsay]

Super awesome tutorial, Totally eye opening.

But I'm still aching for a video of some way to play live for an hour or two, spontaneously too.

[DJVespers]

@BradRamsay If you're a producer and you have all original material, it's easier for sure. You can bust things into loops. Check out Tom Cosm (/cosmcosm) he's got a great tutorial on prepping your tracks for live shows using follow actions. Cheers!

[stereosympathy]

Great tutorial! I've been mystified on the ins and outs of live for quite some time. This helps immensely in understanding how to put together a live set quite easily. Thanks!

[DJVespers]

@stereosympathy You're welcome. Thanks for watching!

[ghostsciencemusic]

@C4TR4P > I figured out my problem , I was putting the artillery in the midi clip but u have to have it in the master then you can route the midi clip to artillery, I hope this helps you out too! cheers!

[DJVespers]

@ghostsciencemusic Yep, that's the answer. Artillery on Master bus, MIDI track out to Master - Artillery.  Cheers!

[ghostsciencemusic]

@C4TTR4P - I am having the same problem, it seems you only get the drop down menu before you put artillery in the midi slot. what are we doing wrong vespers?

[C4TTR4P]

Ive spent like 2 hours on the trot trying to get artillery to work. But songs play, but whenever i press the button on my apc, no effect ensues..... The one thing i found that differs my screen from yours is : 1. where it says midi to, i dont have a drop down menu for clicking on artillery. As well as 2. The volumes are not dotted but bars..

Please help, its really annoying me.

[ghostsciencemusic]

is that a whole track of yours? do u do this for every track in your live set? i imagine that can get quite tedious.

[999hecubus]

Thank You so much it's fantastic that you took the time to do these videos. Cheers!

[DJVespers]

@999hecubus Sweet. Thanks for the comment mate. Cheers!

[azfiu]

hey man, i understand you're classically trained. can you post a vid about how we can apply basic music theory to music writing? that'd be awesome!

[DJVespers]

@azfiu Hey mate. Thanks for the request. I'll pop that one into the list of possible vids. Cheers!

[FinalFragment]

This is so fucking awesome! Best tutorial there will ever be about the APC40.

I am so happy you released this, because I just bought to apc40, and it can be a little confusing at first. Thank you!

[DJVespers]

@FinalFragment Sweet bro! Stoked you picked up the APC40.  Have fun rockin it!

[FinalFragment]

@DJVespers If I only had time! ;D

[Kerberos669]

Great stuff, when is your website going to be updated?

[DJVespers]

@Kerberos669 End of January, I'm told. Stoked for the new site!

[5kank]

wow phenomenal video again man, get your site up! I can't wait to check it out!

[DJVespers]

@5kank Cheers! Site will be up soon.

[arturommk]

THANKS REALLY APPRECIATE SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE.

I JUST STARTED WITH ABLETON, AND DID NOT KNOW HOW TO WORK ARTILLERY WITH MASCHINE BECAUSE DONT SEND MIDI LIKE MIDI KEYS, BUT DRAW A NOTE OF MIDI, THANKSYOU REALLY HELPED ME :D

[DJVespers]

@arturommk Cheers. Glad to help out. Enjoy getting to know Live!

[DJVespers]

@arturommk Awesome. Glad to help out. The dummy midi clip thing is a good trick. Cheers!

[reloopx]

Cheers Vespers! awesome vid

[DJVespers]

@reloopx Thanks mate.

[S4racen]

Question on the video capture software? What are you using, love the zoom functionality.... Great Video!

[DJVespers]

@S4racen Thanks mate. The software is Screenflow 2 on Mac. Very sweet software. I've used a variety of programs and this is the best.

[KNUTKASE5000]

How are you sending the midi to the master channel...When ever I try to it doesn't give me the second drop down menu to set it to an effect. Are you using an Asio driver thing or whats going on because I can send it somewhere but I can't do anything with it except for play midi instruments. (btw I use a pc windows 7 so midiyoke won't work)

[LucidSpore]

Really great tutorials, all thought i don't have a Live controller, i think i can use some of this to my benefit on my midi controller :P thanks for sharing. Love the audio effect rack to. =]

[gummy3000]

Thanks for this great tutorials, i've been experimenting a lot with my own APC40 lately, and this also helps a lot, specially for creating new stuff live, instead of just playing songs.. Keep up the good work!

[Auriculum]

Vespers: thanks for sharing yet another great tutorial. I like the way you explain things at the right pace. Top notch stuff! Keep up the good work!

[paulxt1]

Vespers - I'm a huge fan of your videos! Thanks very much for highlighting this aspect of Ableton; the live performance component is the thing that really sets it apart from other DAWs.

One quick question: Do you adjust the gain on your audio clips to -6 dB? I see you slamming the faders up to their maximum value and was curious as to whether you limited them via hard-mapping them in MIDI mode to a max of 0 dB or adjust your clip volume.

Thanks again; I really appreciate what you do.

[wags171]

Thanks for taking the time to show the "under the hood" stuff! I have seen many videos on youtube with controllerism performances, but not many that show how they did it. HUGE props to you on helping everybody out!!

[DJVespers]

Cheers mate. That's the idea. Show how it's done ;) If you like it, share the vids with other producers you know on your Facebook, Twitter etc. Lates!
