Live Production | Ableton Live & Yamaha MX88 feat. GREG SPERO

In this following tutorial Greg Spero guides us through the process of recording a full track, using only his Yamaha MX88 and Ableton Live as DAW. Using the drums, bass and keyboard sounds in the MX88, Greg gives insight to the creative process of building a track.
Greg Spero is currently keyboarder for No.1 selling artist HALSEY.
With her new album "Hopeless Fountain Kingdom", Halsey has manifested her status as one of the most exciting new artists on the international pop scene.
A lifelong musician, Spero’s twenty plus years of defining his soul with a keyboard set the foundations for his becoming one of Chicago’s most exciting new artists on the Jazz scene. Formally trained in Jazz Piano and Music Composition, Spero will transform your perception of instrumental music, revolutionizing jazz fusion for truly unique listening experiences. Spero has recorded with the top echelon of hip-hop artists (from Jay Z's producer Ski Beatz to Digital Underground founder Shock G), and performs with the very best of modern jazz, including Maurice Brown, Robert Irving III and Corey Wilkes.

Hi... how were you able to get MX88 in the LINK/MIDI- control surface input tab under preferences as i can't find that in ableton live 10. PS: I'm a beginner in abelton Live

[@michaelspryjr.794]

Thanks for the upload! Quick question, I’m using my keyboard as well to record. How can I tweak the sound to make it richer/fuller?

[@DeejayRach0]

Hi. Is there an Editor/Librarian for the MX 49 that runs on Mac? Thanks

[@npfcruz]

Hi Mr- can you please tell us what Pc specs you have? I need to buy a new pc to solve my latency issues with ableton! Cheers

[@michaelregalia2539]

is it possible to use the sounds that are included in the mx88 on ableton? For example, using the argo piano as the sound and recording it into an ableton track?

[@ManKiBaatTeawala]

Greg Spero, I am your big fan, sir want to learn Jazz piano from Yu.🙏

[@johnphinney292]

Man I’m dense .... totally right on with the stereo ... Gawd was I fighting that one fir a night and a half

[@desmondbryant56]

Every time I start to record performance drums start to play a mess up my recordings. How do you stop that from happening?

[@tophermcloafur7806]

I am currently having the same exact problem... did you ever find a solution?

[@noodlingaround2023]

I got the same problem. Did you ever discover the remedy for this. Cheers.

[@johnphinney292]

Thank you Finally some one other than myself stuck with a MX88

[@Keyboardman88]

Why are you stuck with the MX88.

[@johnphinney292]

My MX88 internals were bugging out. Turned out to be a warranty issue. Yamaha replaced the unit and everything has been working excellent. Thanks for your reply Cheers

[@FirstWorlder]

Nothing needs set on the Yamaha huh? just plug it in and go? :(

[@johnwinchester8537]

That's it.

[@johnwinchester8537]

Answer at 11:16 onwards. Thank me later.

[@Keyboardman88]

You could dispense with the metronome. It would also be nice if we could get a clear shot of the computer screen and see exactly what settings you're making.

[@non-youtuber]

is that ableton?

[@GodIsGoodArmadeus]

lol I know it’s been 3 years but yeah it is 😂 sorry to bother you

[@jeremiahmcclam2081]

Cant see what your doing 🤷🏾‍♂️ its no help

[@Keyboardman88]

?????? Sounds like you should have taken more time to do the set up instead o experimenting while trying to demonstrate.

[@sebobastiseppobas]

I think it is cool to see the whole process.

[@Keyboardman88]

Too much playing around figuring out what setting you're going to use. Too much time taken between lessons. Didn't get a thing out of this video. You're a decent player, but not so much the teacher.
