Description
In our series of Live tutorials, we've focused on a host of different types of device, from sound generating synths to creative effects and MIDI tools. Live's Racks are something a little different though, rather than acting as devices themselves, Racks are containers for multiple devices that allow users to create chains of instruments and effects, and setup macros for quick functionality and creative performances.
Understanding how to set up and use Racks can be the secret to speeding up you Ableton workflow and getting more out of the DAW. On our latest tutorial video, Ableton Certified Trainer Tom Glendinning explores how Racks work and highlights a few ideas for how they could be used in your next session.
