I made this video for another thread to focus on the controllers, but wanted to put it here as well because all the sounds and effects are all stock Ableton. For my style of ambient I just love what it offers and I keep finding that I truly don’t need anything else. The stock stuff has such a unique sonic character, and since I’m no sound designer I appreciate the abundance of presets, the ability to tweak macros and let that be enough. Lots of love here for stock Ableton.

Who else is using just Ableton for their music?

Peace,

Hi everyone, this track is called Lichen.

It was performed live on Ableton Push 3 standalone, recorded in one take.

I’ve been trying to simplify my live setup so I can perform without stressing out — and for the first time, I actually feel comfortable playing this one, which is a real change from my previous tracks.

I spent a lot of time mixing and mastering it. It’s not perfect (the arpegiated lead is a bit too loud, in my opinion ), but at least it exists :)

Let me know what you think.

I would really appreciate feedback on how my mixing and mastering sounds on other devices.

Thanks!
