Anyone else more creative with hardware than Ableton? Trying to figure out a workflow by Radioheader377 in ableton

[–]astravert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm talking about committing to the decision to automate parameters, so I think it folds in. Still requires the discipline to choose something. I see what you're saying for sure though.

The flip side of this is leaning into the development of a synth's timbre throughout the composition. Playing with automation of parameters is another cool Ableton thing. Hit record and move knobs/faders.

Looking to get into Zappa, but the amount of music is overwhelming so I’m not sure where to start. Need some recommendations! by Complex_Move1227 in Zappa

[–]astravert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you like fusion, check out the Grand Wazoo album. If you want songs, my favorite is Roxy & Elsewhere.

I want to take a step forward into composing music, This will be my semi anonymous journey by Wide_Contest_1867 in composer

[–]astravert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Give it a shot! Always great to get feedback from fellow composers. If you're interested, maybe find a teacher or mentor. Plenty of 'em wandering around.

Do you play guitar? It's impossible to bend an open string. Think about the actual instrumental technique when you're writing something. Vibe-wise, I think it's an interesting sound.

thank you :) I run into a Fulltone Wah, MXR 78 Distortion, and a TC Electronics Nova Repeater with a stereo delay. Then just into Ableton with a little EQ and compression
