Ant-Zen, Hymen, and others on Beatport

Get your awesome on.

This thrills me to no end. I ordered a lot of music a few years ago, always attempting to order with local distros or others. Now instant gratification is attainable.

Players and essential listening under the cut, in this series I list some hymen albums that need some love. Tomorrow I will do the same with Ant-Zen. There’s a player at the end of all of this. Beatport you need to fix your flash player.

Ableton Rack trick.. Jacked up Rack.

I made this for a friend, and thought I’d share it.  The reason I developed this Rack is to illustrate the concept of rack chain selection.. which is what the “Selecta” knob does.

Write an Album in February???

Apparently February is kicking off as: “Write an Album month”

This website http://fawm.org/

and another  http://rpmchallenge.com/

Sounds kind of exciting. I’ve got so much to do that month, can I be excused to only do 1/2?

Originally I heard about this over on the Ableton forums

Ableton Live tutorials, posted soon

This friday I leave for L.A. for a short vacation, mainly to go to Universal Studios with my girlfriend.

While I’m there I might take sometime to do indepth tutorials on my personal (well accumulated) routing tricks in ableton live.

Ableton Live has so many varying routing techniques that they can boggle the mind, most are not readily apparent until you have been using the application for awhile. A quick one that I think I can explain without the benefit of screen shots is an impulse routing scheme that I use so that I can input midi data from my Triggerfinger controller at the same time I’m running other midi loops.

 Here’s how it works.

Make a Midi track add your Impulse, we’ll call this Impulse.

Make another Midi track add nothing, we’ll call this Sequence.

Go to the channel settings for the Impulse track, set monitor to IN, under Midi channel select the input that you normally use for your impulse. In the Channel Settings for the Sequence track, go to the Midi Out and route the Midi Out to the Midi In for your Impulse track.

 Make your Hi Hat pattern or whatever you needed to have automated in the sequencer track and then bang away with your fingers. Yay automation.

 I also use this trick for Battery, or anytime I find myself needing to have both control and sequencing abilities.

yay, my first tip of this blog.
