Wow, this is phenomenal, Chris is fantastic instructor, it doesn't matter if you are doing ambient or any other genre of electronic music, his tuts are amazing. Thumbs up for the Ableton crew (in a lack of better term) for this cooperation.

19:35 one neat trick that I saw on a forum once is that when you want to go from MIDI to audio You should create a dedicated STEM folder and export all your stems to that folder. Then whenever you import those stems into a new project whether it be completely new or clearing out your tracks and re-adding them, it will make changing the MIDI easier. All you got to do is open the original midi project in re-export a stem to rewrite a stem file, and then open the new project and it will automatically pull up the new stem in place of the old.

this was amazing! @s1gns0fl1fe Do you have any other videos that explain how you created your 3 glitch tracks that you introduce at 1:43? That seemed like a really important step in the creative process

Chris, can you explain the use of pink noise a bit more? How do you use it? How does it help your mixing?

@valiokeys 4 ай бұрын

That percussion stacked view gave me anxiety...I would be too distracted to deal with so many notes in one go.

Awesome. Would be great to be able to download the project for further studying.

Top stuff! Live 12 is a great update. The UI is a lot cleaner, and more readable and the updates to the browser are well implemented. And finally we can see the mixer in arrange view, and they increased the size of those tiny mixer fader handles, two things I long ago gave up hope on. Just wondering what the heck is this mixing with pink noise at the end about? You don't explain this even though you call it a "game changer". :)

Ambient seen and expressed from a very theoretical approach, little emotional conviction but otherwise a funny video about Live.

I bought Ableton Live 5 when it first came out (2005) I have the disc's and the 25 character code. The code doesn't work anymore, without explanation, and they refuse to honor it. $500 gone. Thanks Ableton
