Lesson transcript

Introduction

Right. My name is Mark Burnett.

I'm an Ableton certified trainer. I'm also a performer, a DJ, and a producer.

I teach people how to create electronic music and I also perform it live.

Today's Exercise

When I perform live, I use a whole bunch of different equipment.

In today's exercise, I'm going to show you:

  • How easy it is to get started performing live
  • How to integrate hardware into your setup
  • How to get everything set up and working nicely

Setup

First thing I need to do, though, is get everything set up and plugged in.

I'll just run you through that real quick.
