#100DaysOfAbleton

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.

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. 

Today I continued the Live 10 playlist. I was happy when they started with stock Ableton instruments. I’m learning about the Wavetable now. 

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. 

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.
