Ableton Live Tutorial 'Follow Action'

Ableton Certified Trainer and Dubspot Instructor Thavius Beck takes us through
the follow action tool in Ableton Live in this video tutorial. Follow action is a tool
within the launch window. It allows you to play or program an audio or MIDI clip
for a certain amount of time; essentially creating sequences within your session
view with options to randomize clips without committing things to your arrange-
ment view. Thavius demonstrates how to use this tool with a warped four-bar
drumbreak loop, from which he extracts a one-bar drum loop, and alters the
rhythm and timing of the loop to make the groove more fluid and flexible, not
looping or repetitive. Thavius also demonstrates the usefulness of legato mode
-- which allows you to trigger clips without interrupting the main groove;
no matter when the clip is actually triggered.
