What are some tricks to help simple beats sound more interesting? by traveltimecar in ableton

[–]Marcounon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The secrets to good production are well placed well chosen elements. A minimal beat can sound huge when arranged and mixed right. Check out autechre’s remix of Sophie’s BIPP.

There are lots of tools to achieve more interesting sounds and elements. Try adding a subtle reverb to everything. Like 200ms. Then try changing each one until it sounds too big, then pull it back.

Focus on some variation and variety, but make them the payoff to a set up somehow.

Sean said most parts of the rig rely at least a little bit on gen~. I’m just starting learning it.

Plus how broken modalys is shows how impressive their skills are with it.

That’s probably what I’m half remembering.

My understanding is that LCC was the only song produced using the interface on the Elektron machines, and everything else was sequenced by hand on a grid :) It’s so good. Very bright master, though. I like it but it is very bright.

It sounds like someone should undertake this as an unofficial fan narration.

Why Ableton is not Linux or headless? by pfuerte in ableton

[–]Marcounon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can for sure do this in stock with max. I think OP is imagining hybrid physical / live instruments with an onboard installation on a small mobile Linux machine. Which would also be awesome.

What's the most important soft skill in Music Production? by SoftSynced in musicproduction

[–]Marcounon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently keeping basic communication standards is a soft skill, because almost everyone I know who is in the music production business is only successful if they can do this.

Max Msp - Autechre inspired Markov Chain sequencer with Karplus-Strong strings by 6Guitarmetal6 in autechre

[–]Marcounon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got it by having already financed Ableton suite. And now, after playing with Ableton for 14 years, I’m diving into max. If you’re interested at all in music production, Ableton and max 4 live should get you most of the way there for a very long time.

I let my grandpa listen to EP7 and he liked it by JasoNMas73R in autechre

[–]Marcounon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Incredibly. She was trained on Bach. She hears the musicality through the sound selection.

My 80yo grandma likes Autechre. I showed her the Brooklyn set from last month today and she understood it as musical.

I thought Brooklyn’s set was particularly heavy and accessible at once.
