Live performance in Ableton Live as an electronic Musician | A tutorial by Cella 

Unfortunately there is not so many videos on how to prepare live sets on youtube and a lot of them are pretty dumb tbh. This one was great, thank you for this!

I really appreciate this video, thank you! As a Logic producer, for years I’ve been using a Mainstage setup and I’ve pretty much squeezed every ounce of power/flexibility I can get out of it but it’s just too buggy and unstable. Just bit the bullet today and finally bought Ableton and am really excited for a much more powerful and cohesive experience. Very intimidated by the Ableton features and UI but I’m sure that will come in time :) Pretty tune! Definitely will check out your other stuff!

timing couldn't have been better. i opened for Galantis and had so many things playing automatically. but now i'm easing into playing a lot more parts of my music on stage. looking forward to attending one of your shows @Cella!

4:49 song list 6:48 count in 13:40 song transitions

This is excellent! The Instrument Track routing, to be able to easily switch between instruments during live performance without having to have like 30 separate tracks, was essentially the most important thing I was looking for! Super helpful.

Hey man. Thank you for this. What are the names of the lights you use? They look awesome

I've never seen the instrument rack for multiple tracks approach before and it is genius. Thank you very much for sharing that!! But I also wonder if EQ, compression, and general processing must be the same for all the instruments within the rack?

Great vid 👍 looking forward to many more

dude your music is absolutely amazing, your melodies are so beautiful and advanced, everything you do has such an experimental yet musical approach and everything just works. Huge fan.

drue zwoi eis ....

Thank you so much! Very helpful! That thing with chain selectors is an eye-opener haha you saved me so much time

Great video, tnx. I have one issue I cant figure out. If I use a specific effekt on one song, as a shinmer. How do I automate it to be turned on and an off from one song to another? I know How to do it in the arrangement view, but not in the session view.

Thank you, that was very interesting!

I wonder how this would work with Gospel Musicians guide track 🤔

can you make a video explainin about how you use and set up the dmxis thing?

Chain Selector : thank you!!!

coole typ 🙂

Hello sir. Can we play 2 midi keyboard in one time. With one laptop

I was looking for ages for a video like this. BTW drowning is a track that I wish I made 👊🏾. I hope more producers will perform their music live and that better instruments will be built that make it easier for only two hands.

This info is pure gold! The chain selector workflow is a game changer! Thanks Cella.

Thanks for this video man. after 9 years of production I had my first show and it was awesome, I too, didn't really play a lot of instruments, but after what you said at the end of the video, I felt less guilty. Subbed to your channel and followed on spotify. Keep up the tunes man

This is really helpful to me just getting to a point of wanting to figure out how to do all these things live. Grateful is an understatement. Also, love the Bliss remix you did

where do I download the tracks for the live set ?:/

wow thank u (:

Thanks for the tip about managing live playing few instruments on one keyboard. Also tip from me. If you have 2 octave keyboard, use automated pitch shift.

Hello! Is there anyway you can share the lights you purchased with me? I would love to know more about your lighting set up actually!

Thank you for the video! It was interesting to get an insight into your process of preparing a Live set! :)

Can we get template?

Hi Cella. Great video! You confirmed some of the concepts I already use and inspired more to try out. I played my first couple of (very small) shows after covid and can relate so much to what you say, especially at the end of the video. Greetings from Hamburg and thanks a lot for sharing 🙏💜 PS: since Ableton 12 the way to apply a tempo to scenes has changed. Now you have to select the master track, highlight the desired scene and edit the tempo it in the section below (similar to clip settings) Took me a while to figure this out. Maybe helpful for someone :)

I’m so glad I found your video. I’ve been watching other people’s videos and feeling hopeless about exactly what I needed. This solved every question I had. Do you have a video about how your setup is now?

And I really think it's great how are use explain this. You sent I do lots of Ableton masterclasses in Cape Town and abroad teaching up and coming Ableton artist how to create their set, and techniques to execute what they want to do live. appreceate your work bro

I like this tutorial because you're not using conventional methods of performing a live set. And I think it is awesome to know more than one way of doing that.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👌🏼

Same long journey for me after Covid I pivoted from live band with two other guys to solo electronic and it’s tough! Thanks for this

10:30 does this work with non-ableton devices, like vsts and stuff?

Hey cella can you explain about in ear monitors the one you use for performing live thanks

This was so useful setting up a set over the next week for a couple of house parties 🙂

Oh your video is very helpful to figure it out some details. Thank you!

I bought the same midi keyboard. but the lights of the left (play, loop, etc.) keys do not turn on. and I could never get those keys to work. I wonder if I have to do something to make it work or is my keyboard faulty? I will be glad if you can provide information.

found your music yesterday and I'm honestly so excited to keep up with everything :) truly amazing

dude your very wise with your words, amazing thanks mate

Thank you so much for this. Gonna do a live set for the first time and I really didn't know where to start.

Literally what I've beeng looking for this whole time, thanks! I wanna try it now

WOW this was slightly over my head but i saw your workflow clearly thanks!

Man, as awesome as Ableton is, that UI is atrocious

How do you make the volume get stronger when you play on ableton live?

Well thought out presentation. Yes, finding a balance is key!

Super helpful, thanks so much

I'd really love to see a video about your mastering process. Would be dope

greaaat video, even after two years very relevant!

I love your video and thanks a lot to u for ur all efforts. Appreciate it. And I think doing live performance can not be taught. You need to come up with your own set ups and layout. It must be unique. It can be the same or have similar set up or layouts with some of us. But I think to get a pure live performance from one, one must be come out with his own built from scratch set up.

Thanks man, great video!

Thank you! Your music is amazing and so grateful that you shared your process! :) I have a doubt tho, what are those tracks that are between the black in ear and the side chain?

did not know that tempo trick. thanks

Thanks Cella, great helpful insights!

The tip about bpm naming was so good.

Also live small lights stuff - cool!

Chain selector!! Intresting thx

yoooo super helpful video! keep it up

So CPU is at 48/50% even before hitting play....ok

Gracias por tu generosidad ! 🙏

Thank you for explaining this thoroughly!

Hey Cella, this is extremely helpful thank you! I'm wondering, when using the instrument chain with an external controller, how would I go about filtering CC's sent from a knob or slider on my controller to only effect the active instrument in the chain, rather than all subsequent instruments in the chain? I've seen older versions of ableton seem to have a "filter midi ctrl" setting within the chains function, but I've had no luck finding similar in the latest version! Thanks again.

super helpful thanks!

Really appreciate this gem

NICE ONE! well done!
