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.
