Caribou on Ableton

Post by nylarch » Tue Apr 27, 2010 1:26 am

Don't know if this has been mentioned but a really nice interview:

http://www.beatportal.com/feed/item/alb ... ibou-swim/

this is a great quote:
It doesn’t sound like a record made with Ableton.

I hear that sometimes. I hear people talk about Ableton-sounding records. But it’s capable of doing so many things. I guess what people associate with an Ableton record is that certain things are easy to do immediately. And I guess lots of people make records using the techniques that would be easy to access right from the go. But the more I found my way around it, I didn’t see any limitations that other software could have done better.

Thanks for the great find! I loved Anodrra. For some strange reason I would think he would be the last person to use Ableton Live. But the more I think about it, the more it makes sense. This goes to show how powerful this software is! More love for Ableton is always a good thing!

He's one of the most creative musicians working today IMO. There was a movie of his home studio around the Andorra time and he did that record on an old version of Acid with a crappy mic.

haha, one of the few vinyl 7" I ever made was made with acid 1.5, a soundblaster card and a crappy mike. that was real fun. Noone complained, but that was in 1999 or 2000 if I remember right.

Back on topic - which records would then sound like ableton? BT?
