The Device Rack Module brings together two of my favorite things about Live: Devices and Racks (duh, Anthony). A Device is a name for all of the cool gadgets that come with Ableton Live: Drum Racks, Impulse, Simpler as well as all kinds of cool Audio and MIDI FX. The ability to make “Racks” out of these components is what makes these Devices more than the sum of their parts, though. With Racks, you can form these Devices like Voltron to make complex FX or custom-made synthesizers. This Module covers all this and more. Sign up today and learn how to make your own custom racks and personalize your sound!

I’ve always disliked the idea of course levels, especially in things as fluid as producing music. Who gets to decide who is advanced and who isn’t? I’ve seen big name producers give presentations where it became clear that they understood one aspect of Ableton very well, say Drum Racks, but had never even thought about another aspect, say, Follow Actions. Are they a “beginner”? I also think that separating people like this prevents people from learning from producers of different levels. So, instead of having videos that are separated by level, I will focus each module on different aspects of producing with Ableton Live. I will then systematically go through each aspect, going deeper and deeper as we go, until I’ve exhausted everything I know about the subject.
