Viraj's Weblog

Today I was stuck with a bad sore throat and did some practicing with Ableton. This software constantly amazes me, and there is just so much to learn in it.

I found a great collection of Ableton articles on proper leveling and such. Here is my first attempt to follow the strategies from those articles, mainly keeping the master track at -6dB. The melody is pretty simple, but I use lots of effects and loud drums. It seems most of the music I make really is just a few bars of a melody looped over and over again, slowly building up with more noise. Call it the Bolero effect . I read somewhere that Ravel was possibly going insane when he wrote that.

Oh, this is an AAC/M4A file. Hope you can play it.
