In this video I walk you through how I loop while Live on stream, including how my session is set up, and how to record and trigger clips and scenes.
The song I am looping is an original called "End Up Alone" and you can listen to it here: open.spotify.com/album/2GiISU...

This video is criminally underviewed and underrated; The combination of engaging but helpful description *and* musicianship is ✨S✨T✨E✨L✨L✨A✨R✨!

This. The amount of beginner-friendly yet useful information you managed to pack into this while keeping it so chill is nuts. Fastest 23 minutes of my life, and I don't even have a Push lol. idk why you randomly popped into my YT feed, maybe the almighty algorithm will make this video explode someday, who knows :) Anyways, keep up the good work, you're a great teacher and a wonderful singer! You just got a new follower on both YT & Twitch

Thanks Alanna! So many ways to use looper and I have been struggling with which one works best for me. One tip I just love is how you map the looper controls to the Akai! You showed me that I don't need the record button and can just use the "+" button for both record and overdub - then the 4 buttons on the Akai can include the clear button! Thanks!

You just solved a major issue for me. I've been hunting for the best live looping configuration. I tried two Arturia Keystep Pros which I really like but I have a larger setup and like recording raw audio too. I tried the MPC Live 2 which is really great but still didn't have the workflow I needed. Ableton with the push controller for recording and launching clips and editing the loop points along with a Novation Launch Control XL for dedicated level mixing is the ultimate setup. Thank you again!
