@@porfiry It's not about length but organization and ease of use, chapters make these kind of videos into useful references you can easily look up.

Have been using Ableton 12 for 3 days now, and I’d say you need to actually spend time with it to realise how much better it is, the updated browser and tagging system alone makes it worth the upgrade for me, also having the mixer in arrangement view, and the similar sample swap has led me to discover samples and drum rack combinations I didn’t even realise I had in my sample library. There’s a certain intuition that comes about with this release for creating “happy accidents” through experimentation and the entire interaction with Ableton feels much more integrated and reactive, especially with a push 2 (I haven’t got a push 3… yet) When I look through the marketing for Ableton 12, they do seem to be pushing the idea of this version promoting exploration and “surprising yourself” with the sounds your create, which is great because we tend to value the sounds that happen accidentally as they feel more novel and unexpected than what we plan deliberately.

Omg really? I will never use 11 ever again. Roar alone is worth the update.

@@AFRoSHEENT3ARCMICHAEL69 If you say so 👍 I am with Ableton from Ableton 1 and i'm happy to explore new options and features but roar does not make my decision to upgrade for now.

That's Saw from Rainbow Circuit! I'll write that up separately soon - www.rainbowcircuit.co/

@@cdmtvno the device in the right

I think that's actually a pretty old feature, unless I'm mistaken - I vaguely recall it being announced. Not something I've used, but see here, I think? ruclips.net/video/wpJgcGveUTA/видео.html

Yeah, it's absolutely great! Separate story coming soon! www.rainbowcircuit.co/

I’d argue that if you set up your workflow and project correctly, you can’t help but finish a product each time. Ie. workflow example: save as the new project with a temp name, create a loop of a beat, experiment with some riff ideas and fill out your session view with some scenes, with different variations. Record those scenes to the arrangement whilst automating effects and improvising other sounds over the top. Take that final arrangement and fine tune, whilst adding bells and whistles and doing some sweeping mix production choices. Mix the overall levels from that arrangement and sit back to listen and consider what changes you’d make to it, then make the changes. Do a last tweak to the mix and some temporary mastering for your first “sketch” version, and hit save then export the arrangement. Then close ableton or start a new one. Any time you want to go back to a project just go through the list of exports and find the project with the same name as your export. My point is by keeping some structure to the experimentation, there will always be some kind of product at the end, which can be tweaked infinitely anyway, and rather than having to open the project every time you can listen to the exports much quicker.

@@lukeletonPlease re-read my comment. I don't want to listen to exports. I don't care about exports.I create song environments and jam with them live for my own amusement.

That's respectable, the fact that there are so many ways to use these programs is what makes them so special

Seconded. Being able to try things out is a blast. I put stuff out occasionally, but I just enjoy making things.

ha, I should say on the tuning site - though I think I went further into that announcement at launch, too! very excited to talk about this more; long been friends with some of the folks who worked on it and was frankly surprised and thrilled this got as much attention as it has!

Sorry, I go over sidechaining a little fast. But you'll just set up two tracks - one for your audio, one for Pigments. On the Pigments track, select the audio track as the input under sidechain. Then you can mute the original track if you want to only hear it through Pigments, or mix between the two if you prefer. The full instructions are in the linked story.

tks!!!!@@p-kirn
