City of Apes
Written & Recorded by Ross Cooper.
About: My first attempt at really using Ableton Live 7. Apart from the drum & vocal samples, every other sound started with me hand generating the waveforms, building a sound and it's effects (midi as well as audio) from scratch. There's then a lot of use of Live's randomization capabilities in the loop playback so that every playback is subtly different. I also have to hand tweak certain things during the playback in order to make the mix work. I'll talk about some of these techniques in upcoming blogs...Note: You can also see what other people are saying about this track on the Ableton Music Forum here.
