RE: Ableton/Mobius consulting gig



I have to second this. I've migrated to Abletn since I was asked to teach it at college and it's been a revelation to me. Rock stable and well laid out, (even if it won't win any beauty pageants).
The looper is excellent and pretty much all controlled from 1 pedal - that's well thought out. I'm turning some students on to looping this semester and they're lapping it up. We're synching to Arkaos for visuals too - the combination is intuitve and deep - not easy to achieve..

Peace
