Submissions by miaulement tagged ableton

Don't know why I typed 150 into tempo field when I started this track, but I like the energetic result. Usually I go for much calmer type of music.

I still don't know whether I like melodies and arps at the second half or not, was going to make it less sugary pentatonic and more dark and emotional, but didn't manage to.

Late monday night submit. Was going to submit several hours ago, had this exact submit form with uploaded finished mastered file, decided to take a final listen in order to come up with something to write here about. When the track ended I realized that it should not be the end. The track wanted more! During the process of writing the first half I was thinking that this chopped piano samples remind me of one of my favorite tracks by Tim Hecker(https://youtu.be/CqR1AVs18vI ) and I started trying to achieve similar broken melodies. It took me hours to realize that I need to stop.

Piano part is some free lofi piano loop sliced in ableton's simpler. No arpeggiators, everything is written by hand.

The pad chord in the second half is Em9 which is lovely, but not sure if I mixed it correctly maybe should've lowered hi freqs or something like that.

The first track by myself on this site which actually sounds like a real track(to my ears at least :)

My first late submit, was going to make some track in the last hours before deadline at night, but in the process realized that I actually really like whats comes out and would like to work on it little bit more. So late monday submit instead of work. Spent much more time than should, realized how bad I am at mixing, should somehow learn it.

Hi! a newbie here!
Being a mediocre guitar player I used Reaper for recording guitar and stuff for years, yesterday installed Ableton and wow what a great piece of music software it is! Been fiddling around with it yesterday and today spent the whole sunday writing my first track in ableton ever, and after somewhat completing it I found this great site!
I really digging the idea of constantly writing music and getting tracks done at least once a week, I have a whole hard drive of unfinished songs/tracks laying there for years because procrastination and all that stuff. The deadlines are awesome for procrastinators like myself, so I'm happy to be here and getting damn songs done!

About the track - i've been into footwork/juke music lately so I started with a footwork rhythm and then proceeded with some silly production :) I really like the result, I think it's a nice sketch for future development
