good stuff, more Ableton tips please!

when at 03:05 you're talking about using autofilter's overdrive and the utility gainer behind it, would an autofilter-overdrive-utility-gain-rack make sense to provide as a file or to instruct people on how to do it? talking about one where the utility is at gain 0dB while overdrive is at 0dB but when you ram the overdrive to 17dB, the utility gain is at -17dB?

As for a rack: I have a rack that has both input gain and output gain, and one knob tweaks both. So input-level-dependent things can be roasted hard with input level if so desired!

Thanks for these tips, Janne —- didn’t know about that shift-stretch trick for audio clips. Goodbye boring bass! ;)

Good point re. seperating sound design sessions from writing sessions. How much time do you spend on sound design versus writing - and also, if you catch a vibe while doing sound design, do you run with it and start writing?

Hmmm I don’t really count any of that. As long as it takes. I save a lot of chords etc to Clips in User Library and often try and find something fitting while working on a tune.
