Start experimenting with a simple guitar pedal, which has a mono in/out arrangement. I’ve created External Audio Effect presets with routings for all my external synths, drum machines, and effects, and I have them in a folder in my browser, ready to load at any time. It means you only need to devote one track to the task, although if you want to record the input, you’ll still need another track for that. Live’s External Audio Effect Device is what makes hardware connections easier and recallable. You can test the principles discussed here with almost any audio interface.
This tutorial applies to any recent version of Ableton Live, although Live 10 gives us the ability to name inputs and outputs – useful if you’re working with complex setups. So why not double-dip and use them with your synths too? More is better Additionally, if you’re a guitarist or bassist as well as a producer, you must already have some pedals. It’s also about fashion, as the use of guitar pedals with modular synth rigs is incredibly popular. You don’t have to use it all, but it will expand your horizons. While there’s a minimal beauty in the classic computer/controller/interface setup, there’s a glorious mad scientist kind of excitement to having synths, pedals and cables strewn across the table. Guitar pedals are showing up in electronic music setups all over the place.
