This video is a cut down version of my "moving from the studio to live performance" workshop which I have been doing around the place latley... There are a few videos out there of me actually giving this workshop, but I thought I would make one in the studio with some nice screen captures and audio.

It's my method of taking a tune you have made in the studio, and easily converting it into session view in Ableton ready to perform live. I stress that this is a safe and easy way, so you producers don't have to spend hours and hours learning a new technique.

Enjoy!

    Thanks Tom! You just saved my music carrier.

    I've been producing with Live since v1.0, seen lots of video tuts on working with Live but none which gave a cohesive yet flexible way to transform your studio compositions into pieces for performance. Because of this I've only played out once.

    Thanks to your video I finally have a clear cut method of blowin up da spot!

    Thank You So Much!

    This is great, Tom. I've been needing some serious real-world lessons in Ableton to complement my noodling, especially now that I want to move to some live playing. This is the best method I've seen- it's a whole different way of thinking, and a very simple change, too. Great job!
