Over the years, Ableton Live has become increasingly complex, with many features hidden away. In this video tutorial, we’re going to look at 25 features that can be very useful but are easily overlooked, most of which are hidden in context menus. This video will focus on the browser, the control bar, the mixer section and scenes.
