Whether it's free Live Packs, tutorials, or unique Max for Live devices (Chord Memorizer anyone?), Madeleine will no doubt keep your inspiration levels high.

If you’re using Ableton Live, you simply need to know about Sonic Bloom. It’s like a spa-slash-university for your Live-using self: you’ll come out refreshed, smarter, and even a bit better looking. There are few places to find this kind of in-depth knowledge.

Written from a true musician's perspective the blog should be required reading for everyone and the depth of material already written will take you a long while to work through! Add it to your favourites and check back regularly as she often catches things others miss…
