I'm rather new to Ableton Live (have had it for the past 4-5 months), and was previously using many hardware loopers, stomboxes, pedals and so forth to create the sounds you will currently hear on the webpage:
<a href="http://www.happyhumans.org">www.happyhumans.org</a>
There is also a <a href="http://www.myspace.com/sadmusicforhappy ... myspace</a>, of course!
I'm currently working on 2 albums (one for the aforementioned project, one for <a href="http://www.myspace.com/lookingglassportland">Through the Looking Glass</a>, a duo project-both using ableton!) using ableton, and will have some songs finished very soon.
I'd love to hear both what you all think of the sounds, but hopefully some will have memories long enough to provide a comparison, and perhaps suggestions as to how I might utilize Live better.
I am still making using of multiple midi controllers (keys, knobs, sliders, buttons et al) and also fx racks, stomboxes for effects... but now I can leave the looping to Live, yay!
Thus far I think it's a great program and easy to use, and only limited by the power of your computer (I'm on a 2ghz/2gb ram laptop), with lots of folks making great stuff.
The stuff up currently is sort of electronica/ambient/with strong hooks at points. Soft intensity, if you will. When the Live tracks come out, the energy has been picked up (yay for live drum samples I can manipulate with Live!) and the sound is even thicker.
So... your thoughts/opinions are welcome.
sad music for happy humans says hello; thoughts, opinions?
