I’m now using the FCB1010 too, it’s great, but does take some setting up. As boring as it sounds I advise reading through all Ableton’s documentation and tutorials, they will help you do pretty much anything. Make sure you get your head around the MIDI configuration of your FCB too, the manual for that is tricky but worthwhile figuring out. Good luck.
Thanks Darren.
I have a good handle on Live as I have been producing on it for years now. What I find difficult is to also utilise the FCB 1010 for switching on and off effects in live as well. pedal real estate becomes expensive on the board.
However still wondering what those channels are to the right of your ableton abelton live screen.
cheers,
Donal.
I can’t fully remember how I used this setup as I don’t use it anymore. Basically the channels are duplicates of the instrument channels I use, these enable me to play instruments live over the top of record clips of that instrument, which isn’t easily implementable through a single channel’s monitoring. Keep experimenting with the FCB, some commands work differently ie for an FX on/off you might need to send 0 for off and 127 for on so you might use two pedals, there are ten banks though!
btw you can trigger entire rows or ‘scenes’ by mapping to the play buttons on the far right. This is how I trigger verse/chorus changes. This is covered in the manual!
very nice. i have the ableton live 7 le
can u tell me how do i import sounds?
The manual tells you I’m sure…
excellent!! great use of the tech. great musicianship.
with the LE versions, you can’t import audio files from your computer in most cases… it’s kinda shitty.. you’re better off just deleting that and downloading the trial version from the website evrey 14 days, honestly.
love your stuff darren, everytime i check this out i like it even more. You been keeping my cup full o this inspiration juice since we were like 17 dude. Rock on my brother… don’t u just love cl ices! :@)
man gr8 stuff i wish i could figure out the fcb 1010 i`m having the toughest time trying to trigger record on a track….but gr8 stuff dude..
Cool stuff dude, it’s already version 8 now and u made it on 5… Glad to see it works!
Thats the first time i have seen its even possible to use a computer on the fly like this. What midi pedal is being used here I wonder.
Use FCB midi note function instead of CC functions. Its much easier to get it going with Note data. CC functions are more complex to program.
its a custom built pedal. Check his info for a link to learn more.
soundtrack for a part of my life . . .
i have a strat in that exact colour.
stunning!!!! Thanks for the inspiration mate.
stunning!!!! Thanks for the inspiration mate.
very good job!
Cool stuff, man! What the audio interface do you use?
In this vid it’s an M-Audio 1814, other times I use a MOTU 828 mk2. The desk is a Soundcraft 328 XD, a very old digital mixing desk

Hey Darren, I have a question about your looping method. I see you’re using session view to record your tracks, but when I try to do this, they all aren’t lining up with the other tracks do to my imperfect timing. My question is, do you have a way to preset your audio tracks to record to a set bar length, or is it all really careful timing?
@jtwayne I wish my timing was that good, look at global quantization, pg 202 of the live 8 manual, D.
@darrencperry Cool, thanks bro.
