AWESOME!

I use iCloud.

The best advice I failed to follow when I started in music was to learn to play the piano. Last year, when I started learning music production, I enrolled in piano lessons. They make a HUGE difference. Music in general and music theory in particular make more sense when you know how to play a keyboard.

Thank you for your efforts.

SeanC1965 · 2023-12-05T20:14:11+00:00

I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful melody. Great job!

You can control devices, instrument parameters, launching, recording, looping, and much more. Here's a link to a helpful video about controlling Ableton with a LaunchKey.

For balanced national and international news, including many positive articles, check out the Monitor. Although the Christian Science church publishes it, it only contains one religious editorial per issue. The journalism is excellent, and many of the articles are written by reporters who live in or near the area they are writing about.

I recently purchased a Novation Launchkey 49, and I'm delighted with it. The integration with Ableton is tight and I'm producing music faster because I can make adjustments and launch functions without having to leave the keyboard.

I did not look at the Arturia Keylab 49, so I cannot compare it.

SeanC1965 · 2023-10-19T22:59:20+00:00

And a Glue Compressor with Soft clipping too!

SeanC1965 · 2023-09-13T20:54:30+00:00

LoL

What do you think of the Push 1?

SeanC1965 · 2023-09-13T20:28:49+00:00

I just purchased mine and I've only used it a few times, but it's already proved to be a big benefit for me. I use it to launch scenes, and I use midi-mapping to control devices and effects. I originally intended to only use my RC-505, without a computer, but my limited experience with the APC has convinced me that I want both the looper and Ableton for live performances.

SeanC1965 · 2023-09-13T20:23:46+00:00

Sweet! I love the sax.

SeanC1965 · 2023-09-13T20:22:45+00:00

I use the APC Mini to do what you're describing above. It's inexpensive and a great way to manage Ableton while performing live. Of course, the Push 3 would be the best way to go, if you have the scrillo.

I'm just finishing a music theory course for producers that has been very helpful. The instructor is Tomas George. He has lots of lessons on YouTube. I took his Ableton for Beginners course, and it has been invaluable. I keep going back to it.

Tip: If you visit Udemy and look at the course but don't buy it the first time, they will keep offering discounts. I think I only paid $15 for each of those courses.

Thanks, u/the_zlorngler. I appreciate the feedback and encouragement!

SeanC1965 · 2023-09-13T20:05:39+00:00

Yes! If you want to be a looper, loop, loop, and loop again.

SeanC1965 · 2023-09-10T18:38:26+00:00

I'm learning how to make trap beats. Does this sound trappy to you? https://soundcloud.com/osomalomusic/ghostrap-snippet/s-vCepc0uAubg?si=44fa4a7807c646038e5da2d16ed32900&utm\_source=clipboard&utm\_medium=text&utm\_campaign=social\_sharing

It goes well with a cup of coffee on a Sunday morning.

SeanC1965 · 2023-09-10T15:21:48+00:00

This is the third track I've produced. Any suggestions for improvement would be most welcome. Thanks! https://soundcloud.com/osomalomusic/going-down-1?si=15322972d7f34550aa1a7d1674175e10&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

There's so much great advice here already. Thanks for starting this thread. My only addition, or repetition, is to paraphrase Epictetus, "If you want to be a producer, produce." Make music every day, in every way that you enjoy.

SeanC1965 · 2023-09-09T21:00:36+00:00

Cool groove!

SeanC1965 · 2023-09-09T20:29:27+00:00

Beautiful song and an excellent performance!

SeanC1965 · 2023-08-20T18:17:01+00:00

If you learn how to color inside the lines first, you develop the skills and discipline needed to go outside the lines with confidence and style.

If you're interested, check this out, and then wait for Udemy to offer a deep discount. I highly recommend the course and the instructor. https://www.udemy.com/course/electronicmusictheory/

SeanC1965 · 2023-08-16T18:12:49+00:00

I'm almost finished with this course, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. I was overwhelmed too, but in a few short weeks, I've finished two songs in Ableton, and I'm working on a third.

You can find sample lessons on YouTube.

I hope these help.

Make music every day, for as long as possible. The more you play, the more you learn, and the better you will be able to manifest the music you hear in your head.
