I come from the world of live instruments and my background is actually as a jazz bass player where I learned to have an idea of what the song would be, but create something unique and new with every performance. When I got Ableton Push earlier in the year, I decided to challenge myself to see if it could do ‘live production’. By this I mean – starting with no prerecorded loops or audio.

It definitely took a lot of practice, and it feels like a really intense version of DJing. When it works it’s fantastic, but if you fail, it’s pretty evident. In learning to do this live production set, I learned a couple of techniques on the Ableton Push which that I will discuss in the next video. These will help you get some basic idea of ways in which you can use Push for production and or performance. – Dan Freeman
