I once believed all 5 of these things. But then I unlocked the power of arrangement view in Ableton Live for live performance.

So you think you know what arrangement view is all about? Think again.

Here are 5 lies way too many people (including me 10 years ago) believe about arrangement view:

Lie #1: Session view is for live performance while arrangement view is for recording

For live looping? Yes. For running backing tracks for your band? Not so fast.

Lie #2: It takes too long to build a set

The exact opposite is true. Watch me build a 4 song set in less than 5 minutes in arrangement view

Lie #3: Arrangement view takes more CPU

Watch me debunk this (5:48 minute mark)

Lie #4: You can’t have freedom and flexibility

Watch me debunk this one, too (8:29 minute mark)

Lie #5: You could just use follow actions in session view

Yeah, you can, but it takes way more time formatting that in session view than in arrangement view.

Congratulations, you now believe 5 fewer wrong things than you did before watching this video.

Did I change your mind? Do you still disagree? I’d love to know! Drop a comment below and let’s (respectfully) discuss.
