This website has saved me a number of times when I’ve been stuck with an idea but totally unsure how to execute it using the software that’s available to me.

I’m a Logic Pro user, so this page has been amazing for me in terms of learning software.

I’m now aware of things like the “environment” page that’s available for controlling almost every aspect of the sequencer.

Unfortunately I still don’t know all of the technical aspects, but can now do MIDI routing and setup an arpeggiator without fuss.

I’ve just started exploring the world of Ableton Live and learning how it’s a useful place for musical ideas or musical scraps that can be used or pieced together later for a whole song.

Jurstday Thursday cover of Weezer’s only in dreams

January 13, 2012 in Jurstday Thursday

I have always been a big fan of Weezer.  I got a lot of ridicule for liking this band, but whatever.  Good songs!

So, after a discussion with David Misung Stevenson, I decided to try and cover one of their songs.

Not too bad.  I decided I would force myself to do it in ABLETON LIVE so I could learn not only how to record, but also how to build a song in the layout section.

There are still a number of flubs here and there.  I have no idea where the drums get their random cymbals from, but I will figure this software OUT!

It blows my mind how intuitive Ableton Live is…just the learning curve is as flat as Mount Fuji!  IRONY! betch!

Without further ado
