2.Recording Clips in Ableton Live Suite - LX Mini DAW integration


ShaperBox 3 Bundle: The Ultimate Rhythmic Powerhouse Elevate your sound design with the ShaperBox 3 Bundle, a must-have toolkit for modern producers. This versatile collection brings together 11 powerful Cableguys effects—including Time, Pitch, Volume, and the new LiquidShaper—into one intuitive, multiband interface. Whether you're looking for precise sidechain ducking, complex rhythmic glitches, or lush analog-style filtering, ShaperBox 3 makes it easy to inject musical motion into any track. Praised by top producers like David Guetta and industry titans like Sound On Sound, it’s the definitive solution for solving mix problems and finding instant inspiration.

In chapter #2 of the Ableton DAW integration tutorial we are covering the workflow how to record and tweak Clips in Ableton Live Suite from LX Mini: Use the dedicated [Clips] button to access and control these features directly from the pads.

With [Clips] mode, you can create a track structure from the hardware and record it straight into Ableton. The workflow includes switching Arrange and Session view, moving between Clips and Scenes modes – all triggered and controlled from LX Mini.

Please note: Advanced integration features are enabled using the LX Mini Max4Live plugin (requires Max4Live, which is only included with Ableton Live Suite). An overview of the advanced features, the Clips workflow and Setup is covered in the other videos in this series:
