Eli AtkinsGUEST
I do it every now and then around here in Vegas for like, you know, certain things.
Eli AtkinsGUEST
But anyway, as far as like AI goes in the music space, I it's, it's really tough because like, I think that like democratizing the ability to be creative is a very like good pursuit because I think that there's a lot of creativity out there, but then some people just don't have like the skillset to really dive into like, how do I work pro tools or Ableton or, you know, produce music at this scale.
Eli AtkinsGUEST
But I have all these ideas in my head that I want to get out.
Eli AtkinsGUEST
So on that hand, I think it's really valuable and cool.
Tom RayHOST
Um, what is-- First of all, what, what DAW are you guys using or what are you using to record, uh, the tracks?
PaulGUEST
We are Ableton Live die-hards.
Tom RayHOST
Okay.
PaulGUEST
Yeah.
OliviaGUEST
DAW is a lot better for doing batches of audio files really quickly.
OliviaGUEST
Um, it's, it's a much better like editing tool.
OliviaGUEST
But when it comes to writing music in the box, I think Ableton has been extremely, extremely good for us.
OliviaGUEST
So for the moment, I don't see that changing, but it would be nice to kind of be a little less bound to it.
Steven HydenHOST
Right
Nate AmosGUEST
... like, your, your average person is way more likely to have access to, like, Fruity Loops or Ableton than they are to have, like, a playable acoustic guitar sitting around.
Nate AmosGUEST
Um, but I also think that having this, this kind of, like, wide open expanse of possibilities that you don't really have to work for, it's just things you can do immediately, I think, uh, for me, I find that I, uh, I like what I come up with from a production standpoint more when I apply, like, very, like, uh, very hard limitations to the production-
Steven HydenHOST
Right
Jeff LaplanteHOST
I know all the other ones do.
Jeff LaplanteHOST
When you look at Ableton, I think it's called Simpler or something like that.
Jeff LaplanteHOST
I'm sure Fender Studio has one, but I just use Serato for that kind of thing.
Jeff LaplanteHOST
Gotcha.
Dave KropfHOST
Yeah.
Dave KropfHOST
Simpler for Ableton is like a one sound, whereas they have a sampler, which is a multi-sample.
Dave KropfHOST
So you can apply each individual sample onto an individual key.
Dave KropfHOST
Does the Serato allow you to do that? I know it'll take one sample and stretch it across the keyboard, but does it allow you to create like C1 is this sample, D flat is this sample, D is this sample?
Jonah Van BourgHOST
And I'm going to bring this all the way back in with the weave here.
Jonah Van BourgHOST
It used to take me 24 to 48 hours to throw together a great track of concentrated music making in Ableton.
Jonah Van BourgHOST
Astra can coordinate in Ableton in the actual digital audio workstation.
Jonah Van BourgHOST
And you could probably craft there's obviously like make a track with a prompt that happens in three seconds.
Jonah Van BourgHOST
But like I'm talking if you actually want to build a track and have control over the knobs, you can probably squelch that.
Andrea BotezHOST
I was like, damn.
Lucy GuoGUEST
I have so many friends that produce, right? So I just go in their studio and they're like, this is Ableton.
Lucy GuoGUEST
This is how we do this, this and this.
Lucy GuoGUEST
And I'm like, oh, OK, cool.
Andrea BotezHOST
But I don't know.
Andrea BotezHOST
Do you have any like words of
Lucy GuoGUEST
advice? I guess I think the best thing you can do is send it out to every single person, you know, maybe create like remix competitions from your fans who like pick up Ableton Produce.
Lucy GuoGUEST
So there's more remixes of your songs.
Justin GammellaHOST
And it's cause like, I'm, I'm like, I'm not producing into it, but I'm definitely mixing into it.
Justin GammellaHOST
Like basically like once I kind of my workflows, I start in Ableton and I kind of like get my skeleton there.
Justin GammellaHOST
And then once I'm doing vocals, I'm in Pro Tools and I'm kind of running, I'm making all my decisions through my mix bus at that point.
Justin GammellaHOST
And yeah, I love that workflow.
Eon LakeHOST
I didn't even mix on it.
Eon LakeHOST
I'm mixing inside Ableton.
Eon LakeHOST
Which is fine, I think.
Eon LakeHOST
Unless you really are...
22 MINS LATER
CurtisHOST
And to put it bluntly, and I'm, I think there's a lot of credence in that.
CurtisHOST
I think the, especially I can see the benefits of my own workflow when I moved to a push too.
CurtisHOST
And when I moved away from the screen, Ableton is there, it's on the screen, but I'm mainly using a Push 2, which, okay, admittedly is some form of a screen, but I'm hearing the mix and I'm mixing with my ears as opposed to using the screen.
CurtisHOST
You've got a launch
Lindsay BjorklundHOST
Is there any kind of technology, whether it's some kind of AI tool or some kind of even new hardware that you've incorporated into the group recently that's got you really excited to explore new territory?
Aaron BurnettGUEST
Actually, yeah, I've created a digital format through Ableton for the saxophone.
Aaron BurnettGUEST
It's like almost like a digital pedal board.
Aaron BurnettGUEST
Nice.
Lindsay BjorklundHOST
That's so cool.
Lindsay BjorklundHOST
And is that stuff you can do live on the fly or do you have to kind of prepare? Yeah.
Lindsay BjorklundHOST
So what triggers, you mentioned the Ableton kind of like having pedals for your sax.
Lindsay BjorklundHOST
What do you use as a trigger? Like, obviously, it's not a physical pedal, I'm assuming.
AdamGUEST
I want to be a DJ.
AdamGUEST
I don't want to, do I want to make the music? And I just, I got, I got a system called Ableton and, which is one of the, what's called the dot digital audio workspace.
AdamGUEST
I started working from there.
AdamGUEST
And then I realized that, you know, I wanted to like volunteer at festivals, which I'm still trying to do.
