In this video, I’m discussing the advantages of starting your beats and musical ideas in Ableton Live’s Session View vs the Arrangement view.
This is not a tutorial on how to use the session view, but many people have requested one in the comments of previous videos, so I’ll definitely do that but that will be a separate video.

The main thing is that there’s no timeline in the session view - clips start playing whenever you trigger them.
The main advantage is that you’re not thinking what goes where or even how long your patterns are, you just throw ideas at the wall and see what sticks
This is great for creating multiple sections of your track before going into the arrangement view.
For Maschine users this is very similar to how the Ideas view works in Maschine.

Sometimes people start arranging too early - you create a loop - main musical idea and you start spreading it and arranging it in the arrangement view. Often that’s not enough to sustain a whole track and then you struggle with creating enough variety to your tracks to sustain the interest of the listener.
