  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ก.ค. 2019
  • When Anomalie performs live, his band uses virtual instruments and triggers events in Ableton Live 10 (along with live instrumentation.) This technology is vital when translating his studio sound to the stage. Today, Nicolas Dupuis (a.k.a. Anomalie) & Co. join us in the Reverb studio to show us how it's done.

      I studied with Nic on Saint-Laurent college, in Montreal total class act. Also majored in orchestral composition, not less - which shows a lot when you think about it! He's basically used his traditional orchestral composition skills and transposed them to Ableton... genius move indeed. A really awesome and unique musician :)

    • @DJRY360
      @DJRY360 5 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      @@lucaskamal8094 he is right though.. There is no way to put all of the basics that were combined in this set into a single video and have it keep your attention for the dozens of hours required to explain all the techniques and nuance required. This would and does require a series of manageable videos. There are some very helpful videos for beginners that do cover this. One of my favourite teachers of these topics about live performance is Freddy Frogs so you could start there! Pace yourself and it will come quite naturally.
      Or if you have any specific questions ask away. Surely members of this community will be able to shed light on anything that you need more explanation for.

      Hey, I came across your comment. I believe the way to do it is by creating a return track, sending the click track sounds to it, and assigning the output of it to only your monitors. You should be able to do that assignment if you route the monitors properly into your audio interface. Best of luck!
