I have made a short screen capture of how to use Soundflower to record audio from your web browser into Ableton Live. Soundflower is like a virtual bus for audio on your computer and you can use it to route sound from any application to any other application. In this screen capture I record the […]
I’ve recently upgraded to ableton live studio 9 and that comes with the great and powerful analog synth. Its great for acid lines and I’ve made a patch you can download and use in your projects.

I was messing around with using really short delays to produce metallic sounds. I was then informed this is called Karplus Strong synthesis.

A while back I bought a Novation drumstation and for a while I have bee running it using my Korg Er1 in a x0x style. This is good for basic rhythms and hands on programming but is limited to only 10 sounds in a 4 bar block on the drumstation and doesn’t allow for velocity […]
