In this second installment of J. Anthony Allen’s extensive Ableton Live 12 series, the instructor outlines a deep‑dive into recording within Live 12. He explains that the class will cover both audio and MIDI recording, offering workflow tricks for playing keyboards, MIDI guitars, and other controllers, and showcasing a variety of MIDI devices. The session will also address the hardware needed for capturing microphones, acoustic instruments, and vocals, and will teach comping techniques for multiple takes. A major focus is Live’s warping engine, which automatically syncs tempos of disparate audio clips; Allen promises to explore its capabilities, common pitfalls, and how to adjust timing after recording. The overview sets the stage for practical, hands‑on instruction on recording, hardware setup, comping, and time‑syncing in Ableton Live 12.

Chapters

All right, let's dive in. So here's what we're going to cover here in this class. So this is the second in my big, huge series on live 12. This one, we're going to focus on recording. That means recording audio and midi. So we're going to dive in deep to a bunch of tricks to make your workflow really smooth when you're playing in MIDI stuff, like on a keyboard or a MIDI guitar or some other things. I'll show you a whole bunch of MIDI devices when we get there. And also what you need to be able to record. Microphones and acoustic instruments, your voice, everything. We're also going to focus a lot of time on warping. Now, warping is live's internal engine for syncing up time. Okay, that sounds like big and ethereal, and it kind of is, if you think about it. But what this means is that we can record something and then adjust the time to make it fit. It also means that I can drag in two drum beats into Live, and Live is going to automatically figure out what tempo both of them have been created at, and then it's going to adjust them both to. To play in time with each other. It's automatic time syncing. Now, there's a lot that can go wrong in that and a lot we need to understand about it to really use it. So we're going to spend a lot of time on that in this class also. So we're going to start with audio recording. We're going to talk about hardware interfaces, all of that stuff. Recording, comping, doing multiple takes. So let's dive into it. Off we go.
