Just as real DNA is made up of genes, Live’s Clips are the genetic materials that formulate its powerful capabilities. In this 22-video collection you’ll be exposed to the essence of what makes Live tick!

Ableton Certified Trainer Noah Pred puts Live's building blocks under his DAW microscope to unlock the advanced features and performance techniques that makes Live excel as the world's premiere live performance music software engine.

Noah begins this series with an deep look at Clip setup: Here you’ll get an in-depth understanding on how to prepare your clips in advance to ensure that they’ll be easily accessible. Next up he explores essential Timing, Looping and Remixing techniques that are the centerpiece of Lives’ performance-based structure.

From there, Noah takes a probing look at automation. This is where you'll discover how to work with envelopes, and create transformative musical changes in realtime. Without skipping a beat, Noah then brings you a series of fascinating videos on Launching, Triggering and Sequencing techniques.

Finally, the masterful Mr. Pred descends into CHAOS, where you’ll see how the power of randomness and probability can add excitement and surprisingly unexpected results to your music productions.
