An Evening with Ableton | Ryan Origin | Video Recap

Ableton Certified Trainer Ryan Origin Discusses Max for Live

 RYAN ORIGIN

In this video from our Evening with Ableton event, Ryan really digs in on a few of the Max for Live devices that you can use creatively. Learn about Convolution Reverb Pro and how it’s different than a regular reverb.

Next up, you can watch Ryan showcase Granulator, “The cool thing about Granulator is that it will reward you for getting really nerdy with it and really diving in, and at the same time you can just throw something in there and play it.  You don’t need to know what every single function does for it to actually be useful. Think of it as a way of turning something (a sound) into a pad really quickly.” – Ryan Origin
