#100DaysOfAbleton – Days 6 and 7
I took a long break from producing experiments. My work and family life became really busy. Yesterday at lunch I started working on a track using some sounds from Sounds.com. I was going to try for something Hip Hop, but did have any vocals so I turned it into an EXPERIMENT.
Below you will find EXPERIMENTS – 05 OF 52. This uses a sub-bass that reminds me of the lowered mini-trucks from the 1980s. This is not a complete song but a snippit only 1m30s long. Still, the goal is to produce 52 experiments and this fits the goal.
#100DaysOfAbleton – Experiment 04 of 52
A small experiment using the Cymatics.fm Project X sample pack.
#100DaysOfAbleton – Day 5 – Splicing Serum
In watching all the videos on how to use Ableton I realized I wanted a good external plugin for sounds. It’s not that Ableton’s instruments aren’t good. They are. It’s because there are lots of presets for Serum.
So I decided to do the small subscription for Splice, and then then $10/month rental of Serum for 19 months. If I find I’m not using Serum I can just pause the rental.
So what did I learn today? I learned that Ableton’s Drum Bus can add some great character to your drum racks. I especially liked the ability to add some sub-bass and tone to your kick.
#100DaysOfAbleton – Day 4 – Echo
I learned about the effect Echo today. How I can create great delays and ping pong effects. I thought it was interesting that you could modulate the sound of the delay.
#100DaysOfAbleton – Day 3
Today I continued the Live 10 playlist. I was happy when they started with stock Ableton instruments. I’m learning about the Wavetable now.
#100DaysOfAbleton – Day 2
Watched more from the Ableton playlist on YouTube “Learn Live 10”. Learned about the basics of the Live 10 interface, browser, session and live views.
#100DaysOfAbleton – Day 1
This first day was spent watching official tutorials at ableton.com. It started from setup and I got to talking about the arrangement view and I stopped on the session view.
#100DaysOfAbleton Challenge
Starting something new is hard. It takes patience and perseverance. It takes dedication. It takes a plan.
I want to learn how to create electronic music. I want to learn how to make electronic music better. I have made a few pieces. I want to be better. Deadmau5 and Daft Punk are two that come to mind.
Last week I saw a post from FreeCodeCamp.com about a talk that Eleftheria Batsou gave on her experience with #100DaysOfCode Challenge. I tried doing a “100 days of drawing” challenge, and made it to Day 22. I don’t remember why I stopped other than I remember feeling blocked creatively.
I want to be better at writing, building, creating, programming electronic music. I thought about doing a #100DaysOfAbleton to learn Ableton Live 10 better and, at the same time, learn to write music better.
I have a playlist at SoundCloud.com already called “EXPERIMENTS ## of 52”. The idea is that after creating 52 pieces of music I will be better at creating electronic music.
So…
Here I go.
Incredible Wingsuit Race
I watched some Minecraft videos on Youtube tonight and one of them brought this ad up from Intel. It’s about 2 minutes long, but well worth it. Enjoy.
