bit.ly In the first installment of Ableton Live Production Tips Dubspot instructor Steve Nalepa shows you how to improve the quality of your production and avoid clutter from the get go. He demonstrates a simple technique that can take a bland pad sound and transform it into a more interesting and lush mixture of moving sounds. By adding audio effects such as Reverb and Auto Pan to a series of Return tracks, the pad will begin to come to life and demand a little attention.

bit.ly In the second installment of Live Production Tips with Steve Nalepa, Professor Nalepa investigates the Slice to MIDI function in Ableton Live in a two-part video tutorial. Slice to MIDI is ideal for isolating individual sounds out of a drum loop, and it is also a powerful tool for live performance, remixes, and experimenting in the studio. Nalepa shows you how to utilize the various features of the Slice to MIDI option, as he chops up a couple of drum loops (a basic house loop and the jungle/drum n bass staple, the “Amen break”) using Transient Markers in Part 1.
