10 Free Ableton Live Templates – Tides of Twililght

April 3rd, 2015|

I just released the remix album, Recreate, a week ago and wanted to take this to the next level. I wanted to not only share the music but make it easier for others to make remixed and learn how I go about things as a musician. When making music there are so many possibilities. To get the same exact bass growl you could go about it in 10 different ways. This is one of the most amazing things about Ableton Live and the most daunting  What can be really helpful in starting musicians is seeing how someone else went about things.  Even if you have produced for years, seeing how someone else makes a track can be really helpful.  That is why I spent countless hours putting together this collection of my tracks as Ableton Live Packs. I took all 10 of the tracks from the album Tides of Twilight and turned them into Live Packs.  This way you can open them up and explore who I went about and made the music. This is designed to help inspire

New Re:Create Remix Album Out!

March 23rd, 2015|

I am excited to share with you all my newest album coming out March 24th 2015. The album is a collection of remixes made from the original album Tides of Twilight came out on Merkaba Music late last year. It got amazing traction with the art / story book that came with it. Even before that album came out though I was talking to musicians about collaborating on a remix album. I knew I wanted to work with some musicians to see how they would blend my concepts into new works. It helps you see through a different lens a wider story. I am absolutely thrilled at every remix. I love the wide range of genera's in this album. I love how Bogtrotter took it to the deep dark glitch hop realms. In contrast Drumsyder brings a sold world influenced vibe that makes me think of a candle lite belly dancer. I cannot express how deeply I appreciate all the artists.  ReCreate by Subaqueous If you like the music and want to support, then share the album with friends. Share a link on Facebook and lets

Ableton is Releasing a Book: 74 Creative Strategies

March 22nd, 2015|

Ableton has just released word on a new product. The product is something very unexpected. A Book? When we think of the book industry, we think of a dying age. Well, some of us do.  That is what makes this such an interesting move.  I got to be a part of a call for Ableton Certified Trainers when the author, Dennis DeSantis, showed it off and let us ask questions. Dennis told us that Ableton as a company is out to help musicians make music. That this is above all else their goal.  The move to create this book is the first step in that direction. Here is an excerpt from the book: For many artists, nothing inspires more existential terror than actually making art. The fear that we’re not good enough or that we don’t know enough results in untold numbers of creative crises and potential masterpieces that never get realized… Making Music was written both to answer this question and to offer ways to make it easier. It presents a systematic, concrete set of patterns that you can use when making music in order

Creating Stems in Ableton Live

March 4th, 2015|

Sometimes to collaborate with other musicians we need to turn our Ableton Live Tracks into Stems. Using stems is a great way to send tracks to other people that use different DAWS, such as Logic, or for remix contest. Before we get started though, let’s define what a Stem is. Stem-mixing is a method of mixing audio material based on creating groups of audio tracks and processing them separately prior to combining them into a final master mix. Stems are also sometimes referred to as submixes, subgroups, or busses. In other words, it’s taking our track and turning it into a handful of stereo tracks. That way you can send 8-10 tracks instead of 50 individual tracks or one final master. I created an in depth PDF that walks you through the steps needed to turn your track into stems. Below is the video walk-through.  I also have a free PDF guide for download below that. Download PDF

Scale References In Ableton Live

February 10th, 2015|

Do you want an easy way to drop in cool scales and write in new MIDI parts? Or have you ever wanted a Scale Reference in the Piano Roll?  I’ve created a new technique I call Scale References to help me with this. It’s helped my productivity and makes sure the parts I am writing are in the scale I am using.  Here is a video walk through of the technique: You can grab the Scale Reference Live Pack or follow these steps to create your own Scale Reference:
