ABLETON IS CONFUSING SOMETIMES ✦

BCOS HONESTLY.. SOMETIMES IT IS 

HELLO, MY NAME’S DAN ALBER. I CREATED ABLETON IS CONFUSING SOMETIMES IN 2024 TO HELP ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THAT I WISH SOMEONE WOULD HAVE ANSWERED FOR ME A COUPLE YEARS AGO.

THE TRUTH IS, ABLETON IS CONFUSING SOMETIMES, THE MANUAL DOESN’T HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS, AND SOMETIMES YOU JUST NEED SOMEONE WHO HAS ALREADY MADE THE MISTAKES TO HELP POINT THE WAY.

I WANT TO HELP YOU USE ABLETON IN THE LIVE SPHERE WITH AN EMPHASIS ON FLEXIBILITY, ALLOWING YOU TO USE PLAYBACK AS AN INSTRUMENT RATHER THAN A ROAD BLOCK.

MEET THE CREATOR

I HAVE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO SPEND THE LAST 10 YEARS WORKING IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY AS A TOURING BASS PLAYER AND PLAYBACK ENGINEER. MY PLAYBACK SESSIONS HAVE SUPPORTED A VARIETY OF CLIENTS INCLUDING KARI JOBE, CODY CARNES, LENNON STELLA, BENJAMIN WILLIAM HASTINGS, AODHAN KING, BROOKE LIGERTWOOD, GABBY BARRETT, LAINEY WILSON, MATTHEW WEST, CARLY PEARCE, RITA SPRINGER, CHARITY GAYLE, MICHAEL W. SMITH, LEELAND, JP SAXE, JOSH BALDWIN, PATRICK DRONEY, ANNE WILSON, AUSTIN SNELL, HARPER GRACE, TAUREN WELLS, MICAH TYLER, HOPE DARST, SEAN CURRAN, BRIAN AND KATIE TORWALT, MARTIN SMITH, MATT MAHER, PASSION CITY CHURCH, PASSION CONFERENCE, THE BELONGING CO, RYAN KEY (YELLOWCARD), THE STRUTS, DILLON CARMICHAEL, AND COLTON DIXON, AMONG OTHERS. I’VE BEEN THE MAN BEHIND THE COMPUTER ALL OVER THE WORLD AND IN VENUES OF ALL SIZES INCLUDING CARNEGIE HALL, MERCEDES-BENZ STADIUM, THE DOVE AWARDS, BONNAROO, AND THE LA FORUM, FOR DJ’S, BANDS, CHURCH CONFERENCES - I EVEN ONCE MANAGED TO SLIDE ABLETON INTO A COFFEE SHOP’S SOFT LAUNCH. IN 2022 I CO-FOUNDED A COMPANY CALLED SPACEWALK LIVE THAT DOES EXACTLY THIS AT A LARGER SCALE THAN I CAN MANAGE ON MY OWN. HAVE I MASTERED ABLETON? NOT AT ALL. HAVE I THROUGH TRIAL AND ERROR DISCOVERED A METHOD THAT WORKS IN A HIGH STRESS LIVE ENVIRONMENT - MOST DEFINITELY.

TESTIMONIALS.

  • “AFTER MANY YEARS OF MAKING MUSIC AND TOURING WITH DAN IN A VARIETY OF ENVIRONMENTS, VENUES, COUNTRIES, AND EVEN ARTISTS, I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT HE'S SEEN IT ALL AND HAS HAD TO NAVIGATE SOLVING PROBLEMS, ROLLING WITH SET CHANGES AND BUILDING ARRANGEMENT CHANGES ON THE FLY IN ABLETON. HE'S AN EXPERT TO SAY THE LEAST, AND I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE ANYONE WHO'S ARRANGING TRACKS FOR LIVE PERFORMANCES TO TAKE A LEAF FROM DANS BOOK."

    Brenton Miles - Kari Jobe, Cody Carnes

  • "I've been teaching myself Ableton with the help of Google and YouTube for about a year now, but still lacked some basic understanding of how it works. "Ableton 101: The Basics" was concise and helpful, filling in the gaps of my knowledge of the software. I'd highly recommend it to beginners or anyone wanting to learn some new tricks and get a well-rounded crash course of Ableton."

    Gideon Schlichter - First Christian Church

  • "DAN HAS HELPED ME AND MY TEAM CREATE FLEXIBLE AND RELIABLE PLAYBACK SESSIONS THAT HAVE ALLOWED US TO NAVIGATE THE COUNTLESS CHALLENGES THAT COME WITH LIVE SHOWS. HE'S AN INVALUABLE RESOURCE AND MY FIRST CALL WITH ANYTHING ABLETON. I CAN'T RECOMMEND DAN OR ABLETON IS CONFUSING SOMETIMES HIGHLY ENOUGH!"

    Mitch Parks - Spacewalk Live, Ed Sheeran

  • "This Ableton course is the most in depth and detailed course that I have ever taken. It covers a wide variety of topics from preference settings, saving your sets, all the way to timecode, and IAC driver usage! PHENOMENAL! Dan is a mastermind, and his tips will leave you feeling like a more confident playback engineer!"

    Landen Carmichael - Arise Church
