There was a time that when asked what instrument I played I would say “Ableton.” Every project began and ended in it (finishes or not) and it felt so comfortable to use. It could do anything. I still think it can, but I can’t because I’ve gotten away from using it. My process has evolved into being only live (or live sequenced) improvisation recorded direct to a stereo master track. Production has never been my strong suit, but lately I have been thinking that maybe I should try again/try it differently. At the very least I’ll get some good loops out of it. Dusted off the material from one of the group collabs and had a go. New mindsets are tough!
