Using Ableton Live 8 for the first time, I’m exploring how the software works. It’s pretty cool but has a steep learning curve. Through trial and error and a lot of reading I was able to connect my instruments and set my soundcards latency issues. The video was made with MusicMaker, neat software.

All instruments are from Ableton live which I played through my trusty MK4902 MIDI keyboard drum loop is made through a Korg Kaossilator which passed through a Korg Kaoss Pad.
