i just started playing with ableton and this is for only one reason...to play my own stuff out! im just trying to suss out a few things at the mo, other than just mixing one track into the next, cause that is pretty easy to do i must say. i think im gonna start strippping my tracks down in to seperate parts i.e. kick, hats, ride, synth, loops etc and maybe add some outboard filters n stuff...gonna get my head stuck into it anyway, see what happens.
