How to Make Beats on the Fly in Ableton Live | Music Production Tips with OSCILLATR


Keeping a loop going while laying down new elements is a beatmaking technique that can yield lightning-fast results. Even if you don’t keep everything you record, this method gives you something to work with and shape rather quickly. In this video, @OSCILLATR demonstrates how to set up an Ableton Live session with a Push controller, how to use Arcade in this improvisational setting, and how to experiment further with what you recorded—all while making a lofi beat with the Downtime Line.
