Ben Böhmer: How To Play Live with Ableton | Setup Explained Masterclass

The best!

Thank you, this was very educative! Love it❤

Alright then! Time to buy a ticket to see Ben at Zurich Openair on Thursday 24.08.2023 in just over two weeks!!

Oh, yeah, Calvin Harris is playing on the other stage at the same time. 🤮🤣

This was class - more of these guys please X

I really like the idea with the drumloops. Simple but powerful, i might steal this idea 😂

2 Questions, if somebody is able to help:
a) Do the Scenes change automatically via the follow scene (or do you trigger the next scene with a button?
b) How come the "dum loop group" keeps playing, eventhough they are not part of every scene? (I can only see them in the First row..)

Thanks for the insightful Video!
<3

Thanks for sharing, really helpful.

hi, this changes it big time for me as i used looper before, my question if you don't mind, i work live i don't compose so i don't want the clic track except in my ear monitor.

This is revelatory !🎧
Thanknyou 4 this presentation Ben!
Vital 2 artists
in electronic engineering 🎧

i enjoyed the live set so much !!!!!

Def some deadmou5 influence. Anyone know what his analog synth is?

s minilogue used as a midi controller??? he's not connected to audio cables!!!!

Anyone else falling asleep watching this ....

hey starkes Video
kannst du mir sagen wie du bei einer live Performance zum nächsten set (in abelton) wechselts oder machst du einen 2 stunden Aufritt mit einem live set

never seen someone create such a deep, emotional atmosphere so quickly

my inspiration , i will not rest untill i share a stage with this ledgend

I love your musik.
THKS

Magnifico!

Wow! Great stuff!

People who understand music will 100% appreciate the musical mastery of how Ben's soundtracks are brought to life. For those who think this is boring or see this as mediocre, y'all are some basic ass mfs lmao.

Can't believe I got to be backstage with this guy during ADE. Fucking surreal views and music. Best night of my life so far. Didn't talk to him though because I was shy and didn't want to be another gushy fan, but that night still inspired me to make music again!!

Love the groove and mixes. Great job keep it up

Legend bro,Hello from Azerbaijan

Maravilloso 😍

This is awesome. I learn something about the setup from this video.

what a g really out here making beats feel liveee. not a lot of producers know how to make electronic music really feel unique every time it is played

🐸

The MIDI track for Follow is not clear & same for the follow action for scenes. Can you clarify how or link to a clearer step by step explanation?

Hello. Do you get samples too with the Project he uses to play live? Thanks 🙏

As an amateur producer working with Ableton, this is so helpful. Thank you!

How is Ben stepping through the grid in this set up? Is he still using a mouse etc?

This was great but would have served the audience better with pip overlaying what was going on with ableton.

Please stop smoking- the world needs you for as long as possible!

Beginner question here, how does Ben set the volume of each track such that he can just max out the faders when he brings in parts maintaining an accurate mix? The only thing I can think of is mixing everything ahead of time using utility plugins on each channel to manipulate the gain of each track. Is there an easier/better way of doing this?

Genius [x]. Legend [x]. This is the best, most informative, most truthful, most German, explanation of electronic music production I have ever seen.

finally found thanks to the author

It's working thanks my friend

pero que hermoso que sos pendejo!

The tempo always stays the same?

Worked, thx

thanks so much man

yo bro, really thankya. Big respect

Hey I’m trying to switch from djing on turntables to Ableton. How exactly do you transition to another song in this way if you only have one song loaded in Ableton live?

What is this xone mixer exactly?

Now why didn't I think of using my Wavestate as a midi controller for a soft synth in Ableton? Ben is right, all the knobs are there! Just takes some time setting up the mappings, but that's pretty much just one time and maybe some adjusting.

Brilliant

I don't see how the audience benefits from him doing these convoluted things. Of course it's cool, and it requires a lot of skills. However, when you're in the crowd, you're not going to notice the difference between him simply mixing 2 songs the standard way, or him doing it in his convoluted way. Seems like a waste of time and energy.

What audio interface is he using?
