Still not working. Whats the problem?

never mind. It was a Flash issue. Fixed now.

In the middle of watching these. There’s some really creative uses of return channels in there that I’ll definitely make use of!

13

excellent tutorial, short and to the point. His big return tracks with multiple instances of delay are awesome and he has some refreshing ideas on arrangement. I’ve watched 80% of the tutorials on SA and this is one of the better ones. Keep up the good work guys.

Great tutorial ! I have learned so much about practical uses of Live’s instruments from this and Chymera’s tutorials.

15

Great tutorial indeed. Picked up plenty of tricks and inspired by his live jamming to arrangement method. Nice stuff, thanks Christian!

16

Sophisticated. Encouraging. Nice delivery. Good one.

Hi everyone, thanks for the feedback! Super happy that you really dig the use of the return channels and the live-jam approach to arrangement. I’ve found these to be really important tools in my process and they really open up possibilities with any project. I hope you enjoy experimenting with them and applying them to your own creative process.
