New user here. I’m looking

New user here. I’m looking for help as I don’t want to keep buying gear but want to optimize my setup with what I have and I am okay with slowly adding essential gear to solve any problems I know or will discover as I’m a complete newbie to Ableton and an intermediate guitarist and completing new to production.

I am a guitarist that wants to learn and create various music. Mainly making simple recreations of songs and live performance in my home studio for fun. I love the idea of looping guitar and have been doing that with my rc-1 and amp but now I’m ready for the next step. Ableton baby!

Right now I run:

Ableton 12 lite

Interface: scarlet solo for guitar and vocals
Guitar plug in for tableton: i have amplitube 5 max, positive grid spark.

No set up for vocals other than directly into audio no chain has beenn set up yet need advize on this too.

Midi controllers:
– akai mpk mini mk 3
– akai apc mini mk2
– Roland fp-10 digital piano.

– both the akai and the Roland have a sustain pedal that can be mapped. (I thought I could use this as my session record map. But for some reason when I use this mapping it works for midi tracks but not audio to stop the overdub)

Pedals:
Currently used: two sustain pedals on the Roland and akai mpk. The akai is mapped to session and the sustain on the Roland functions as a sustain.

Unused pedals:
Boss rc 1
Earthquakeaker plumes
Pro co rat
Keely caverns

Studio monitors are pre Sonus eries 3.5
I normallylly monitor withth headphones.

Unused interfaces : irig hd x, positive grid spark 40 amp.

Ideally i want to know if what i have already can control enough parimeters for me to easily control ableton and play each instrument consecutively and switchh between tracks, clips, launching, eecordung, overdubbing, etc with ease.

From what at i can tell and was told the next upgrades would bee a foot pedal board of some kind and an upgrade to control would be the push 2.

The foot controller there are so many options and I don’t know which would be best for my uses or even combining Ableton, AmpliTube 5 max or use my positive grid spark somehow.

Sorry for the super long post but the optimal setup is complicated and everyone that makes tutorials online uses a diff setup

Thank you all!
