ShareCheck out this video of Chris Alfaro, aka Free The Robots, talking about producing and performing with Ableton Live. Alfaro grew up making beats on the MPC (producing tracks for MCs and DJing) and he now uses Akai MPD32 controller to trigger beats and sounds for his genre-defying Free The Robots project. Alfaro explains why Ableton Live feels natural, a logical step, in line with the skills and familiarity one develops using the MPC. He also talks about the ease of the workflow with Live, and how it allows you work more instinctively. The video was shot by the brilliant Greg Ponstingl.

Ableton Live Weekend Workshop coming up August 28th & 29th!
Intro To Ableton Live 8 – This 6-hour Ableton Live weekend intensive workshop is geared toward beginners who are interested in learning music creation using Live as the medium. Prior musical experience or knowledge of Live or is not required. Through hands-on exercises students learn Live’s various panes, effects and mixing facilities. By the end of the workshop, students are familiar enough with Live that they are able to showcase and perform their songs for their peers. Students have their own personal stations equipped with a full suite of software and hardware, enabling them to replicate what the teacher is doing on the projector. Due to the small class size and open learning environment, each student receives ample personal attention and comes away with working knowledge of this ingenious program.
