Learning Ableton Link

Collaborate with other musicians using Ableton Link. Learn how to use Link to synchronize multiple computers and iOS devices to play in time with Ableton Live.

Ableton Link is a simple but vital utility that helps musicians collaborate. With Link, they can sync Ableton Live tracks with the sounds captured on other computers and any Link-enabled iOS music-making apps. It's one of the easiest ways to make sure everyone in your sessions is "in time"—no cables required. In this short course, author Yeuda Ben-Atar quickly demonstrates his techniques for using Ableton Link to set up and synchronize multiple computers and iOS devices, and demos the Link workflow in a short jam session featuring Ableton Live and the Ableton Push controller.

Note: Ableton Live is not required to use Link. It works with dozens of supported apps. See the complete list here.
