One of our favorite LA controllerists, Yeuda Ben-Atar a.k.a. Side Brain‘s recently finished filming a live performance with Ableton Live tutorial for Lynda.com. Fortunately, there’s also a video demonstrating his skills and it’s free to watch on Lynda.com’s Youtube channel (and is embedded below). From a tutorial standpoint, the video gives a teaser for the useful stuff Yeuda’s talking about in the whole series. For us, it’s a free high quality live performance video showing off some awesome and original uses for all sorts of controllers. Enjoy!

Ableton have officially announced March 5th as the date of release for Live 9, the newest version of their flagship product.

Besides making the announcement on their website and making my heart skip a beat (“OMG! So soon?”), they’ve also uploaded a couple of videos on their YouTube channel featuring some M4L devices that are going to provide some cool new native features. Hmmm, that Buffer Suffler looks oddly familiar…
