Ableton Forum

Hi! Until there's a dedicated forum...

My first live track. Hot damn, I love Ableton Live. For years, I used an antique Mac pice of shareware called SoundEffects. It was essentially a primative RAM based audio editor. You could cut and paste, with multiple channels, and mix down. I'd hand paste beats and samples - it was like using wordpad to program robots.

I was scared of MIDI, sequencing, et cetera. Well, I've shaved my beard, thrown my overalls in the trash, and sold my rifle.

The only real challenge for me now is to avoid 30 minute songs with 20 tracks.

The only heartbreak was that when I rendered this track, I pulled "rendered" off the file name, and it overwrote my raw Live project. Lesson learned, onto the next track.

Hi Yes I am a new Ableton waller too. It is so briilliant and creative. Well done. The render thing is well good.

Nice work Ted! I can't stand Fatboy Slim but it does not mean that the track sucks(which it does not). I like the funky bass and gritty drum track. Good work!, just not my cup o noodles.

Nice one Ted this track is great and really cheered me up.

Thanks, everyone. It's damn fun, and a whole lot of work, to make music. I can't wait for a dedicated track posting thread/forum, so I can listen to all the stuff people are doing with Live.

suburbanbather: Good call-out of my cursed Fatboy influence. I aspire to the clean, clever, modern electro that many Live users excel at. But I somehow end up making big beat no matter what I am going for.

Hey Ted, thanks for not getting pissed at what I thought. I don't take offence when people actually give me an honest review. I must say that your arranging skills are better than mine. I'm still cursed with the lets make a cool loop and get stuck on that.

work it, ted
