Today on the show is Laura Escudé. She is a fantastic violinist, producer, and Ableton's first ever official certified trainer. She was hired by Ableton to teach people how to use Ableton Live. She then went on to tour with artists like Kanye West, The Weeknd, Ariana Grande, Harry Styles, Mariah Carey, Logic, Herbie Hancock, and Jay-Z to name a few. Now she teaches people how to do what she did for those shows: program huge arena shows.We also chat about how she's making it work with the entire touring industry shut down and what you can do as well. We've known each other for a few years, so I loved catching up with her.--Laura's 'Hustle Healthier' article: https://medium.com/@lauraescude/hustle-healthier-a-manifesto-on-how-touring-artists-and-professionals-can-put-their-health-first-62505f588f66Check out Laura's course: https://bit.ly/laura-escudeUse code ARISTAKE for 10% off--Quick links: 2:55 - Where Laura's quarantining from, what she's been up to, and her studio gear5:05 - Being the first ever Ableton certified trainer and what it means6:23 - Landing bigger gigs because of the Ableton certification9:14 - What was expected of Laura when she became an Ableton programmer13:40 - Where Laura is set up during a live set for an artist she's working with14:45 - Laura's extensive touring schedule and her health crisis18:12 - About Laura's company, Electronic Creatives22:25 - California's gig worker law AB530:10 - Laura's advice to artists who want to tour with big artists35:00 - About Transmute--Connect with Ari’s Take:Website: http://aristake.comAcademy: http://aristakeacademy.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/aristake_/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ArisTakeYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/aristake1Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aristake/Connect with Ari Herstand:Website: http://ariherstand.comInstagram: http://instagram.com/ariherstandTwitter: http://twitter.com/ariherstandYouTube: http://youtube.com/ariherstandFacebook: http://facebook.com/ariherstandConnect with Laura Escudé:Website: https://lauraescude.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/thelauraescudeInstagram: Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.
