Listen To My First Ableton Track Pop Song By ElectronBlue At Looperman.com

Cheers, I am getting better now lol

Hahahaha I like it lol. Well an Ableton is a very expensive DAW that is very hard to use with a learning curve that is fucking vertical. But it's great fun with loops. And this song is the very first one I ever made and recorded. My first ever fuck-up with more to come.

Cheers soundhound. I think I did well for my first ever piece. Glad you liked it.

Cheers bud. Glad you like the track. Just me fooling around as usual lol.

Thanks Spivkurl I am really trying but there is so much to take in all at once. The learning curve is fing vertical.

Thanx Xmafax good to get comments from experienced producers like yoour self that turn out fantastic work as it gives me more confidence to try harder and practice my guitar and keyboard more often. I spend way to much time on the PC learning how to use it, Ableton and the darn hardware controllers.

Yes, the very first piece of music I have ever composed on a pc using software. was hard work playing in the keyboard and guitar and getting the recording right but I managed it in the end mistakes and all lol. Still plodding on and learning but I will get there. Thanks for the kind words and I am glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you so much for your kind words and for not mentioning the many mistakes in the track lol. It is my first track as I learn to use Ableton but I will get better. Honest!

Thanks crucethus for your kind comment much appreciated. Yea having a stroke really sucks but I am getting over it and improving all the time. My memory is improving a little but the damage is done lol. But hey! I get to play on it at my convenience if something dose not suit me. I might have a short memory span but I am not stupid lol.

Wow, coming from you I feel well praised indeed. I agree Ableton is great but hard to learn for an old timer like me lol. Love all the controls and instruments though. The Amp section is great. Midi is great. The loops section is something completely new to me but is a complete blast being able to put in a loop and just move it about with other loops and just create a completely new sound. Having said that it's not my music. But still Amazing! I still like just jamming along to a drum beat though with my guitar and keyboard. I am going to try harder to record a loop of my guitar and keyboard twiddly bits even though it messes up my train of thought and stops the flow of music and see what comes up. You got the old school bit right LOL hahahah

Cheers fixxxer. Erm, yes, just about lol. I am retired after having had a stroke that left me with no short term memory so lots of time to mess about and try to get things right. I think I do about 8 hrs a day if I don't get too tired or my brain don't hurt lol. It will take me a while to learn it though because the day after I will have forgotten most of what I learned the day before lol.

Thanks "shortbusmusic" for your kind comment. lol @ the birds comment I am sure it wasn't that bad but at least the birds get to enjoy it. I know what you mean as I had a few disasters before I posted my first bit of a try with ableton. Ableton is not like Sonar or Cubase that's all linear and you just arrange it as you go. Once I can figure out how to arrange things better I will re post it. Also the track has an annoying blip sound and I can't figure out where it came from. I don't think I could ever reproduce the flute track as I was just jamming along with the flute sound on my synth to the rest of the track. You know how it is so I hope I don't mess thing up. The guitar part is boring so I am going to work on that and try to make it a little more interesting, mabe a little acoustic fingerpicking.

Thanks for the feedback theHumps much apreciated. I just learned that you can copy and paste and move the blocks around. It can be confusing at first. I need to learn about automation now and I just might get the hang of this baby. yes Ableton is amazing once you know how to use it. It has quite a steep learning curve. Thanks for the youtube tip. I had a look on youtube and there are some good lessons. Should keep me going for a while.

Thanks for the feedback Tumbleweed always appreciated. I thought I would take a walk over to your page and have a look at what you and I am glad I did. I really like your music. I love the blues and I love chillout so to get chillout blues was a bit of a bonus. You just made a fan lol.
