This is a glitchy house song that I created with multiple midi synth sounds, midi drums, and a dirty midi bass part that comes in at the midpoint of the song. I performed all of the parts in the session view first on my Ableton Push, decided on the appropriate sequence and then performed them into the arrangement view. After there was a clear beginning, middle and end, I had a lot of fun detailing the drum parts in the arrangement view by freezing, flattening, transposing, reversing, creating exponential rhythms, duplicating kicks and experimenting with some reverse reverb to build anticipation. At one point near the end I automated the tempo so that it slows down and then speeds back up again.

Hi @Carsten Faarvang - at 2:54 - 3:00 you are hearing exponential rhythms. Here is a great youtube video that provides an overview on how to do it. http://youtu.be/hbsQ3w0hPcw. Thank you very much for your kind feedback.

Spiderhound, thanks for taking the time to review my assignment 1 track. I really appreciate the feedback. I'm trying to learn as much as possible, especially about mixing and mastering. That's one of my weaknesses. .... I really like your track, it has great volume to it. I really like at 1:42 where the groove kicks in and then you bring everything in together to finish. Nice work.

Thanks. Have APC 40 and will spend time learning this device, shortly.
Spiderhound9 years ago
@Jack McREYNOLDS Great question! 95% of the time I create in just Ableton Live 9 Suite using both the PUSH and the APC 40 MK II. The PUSH is a powerhouse that can do nearly everything, but I utilize The APC 40 for adjusting levels with faders (instead of knobs) and the APC40 also has a nice cross fader. There are additional knobs too on the APC40 for adjusting various device parameters. I create very differently on the Maschine Studio, so I will turn to it when I find myself stuck or experiencing writer's block just to vary the approach and shake things up and get different sounds. You can open maschine up as a plugin in Ableton (the integration is handy) or you can bounce audio files and drag them into Ableton...whichever you prefer.

I have a question regarding Native Instruments Maschine Studio and how do you use it with Ableton Live 9 Suite, Ableton Push, APC40 MKI. Since you have all this gear at your disposal when do you find Maschine useful. How do you incorporate it into your flow? For example, when do you choose Push versus Maschine?
