Here's the finished series of learning-experiments using my new DAW Ableton Live 11. Starts off familiar...gets less so. That was the idea. I would suggest listening to it all (Ha!!!) but, out of interest, try listening to the first and then the last track. That's what Ableton can do to you (or me a...

I had just traded my Focusrite interface for a UAD Apollo Twin, which I much prefer, but which might be the underlying problem...I did find a couple of mentions of this on the web. Anyway, the Apollo works fine with Ableton, so I'm happy enough, just a bit poorer. Reaper looks amazing for 60 dollars...

Thanks Ian Yes, I have Reaper installed, and fully intended to switch over to it, but only to discover it simply won't work on my Macbook Pro. Don't ask me why. My son, who is a professional sound designer/producer spent a few hours trying to get it to work without success. As he uses Ableton Live, ...

Hi All Through force of circumstance, I am now (painfully) trying to get on top of Ableton Live 11. One interesting thing is that it takes you in unforeseen directions. Here are two: one poppy, one jazzy. https://soundcloud.com/user-581188416/bar-six https://soundcloud.com/user-581188416/second-degr...

Many thanks Bill! I do believe you're a Williams man too? Very wise! Thanks for listening. The album, while I'm happy to get it out there, is not 100% to my taste production-wise as it's taylored for a more 'ambient' 'cosmic' audience that is associated with that record label. But I'm prepared to co...

Hi All Over three years ago Scissor Tale Records, out of Tulsa, contacted me with a view to releasing some of my work on vinyl and digital. Who was I to refuse? Anyway, after all this time it really happened, and I'm happy. You can be too...have a listen. https://scissortail.bandcamp.com/album/begin...

True enough.

Very cool scene in Bristol. Nice little improvisation scene too. My Son is very active in Bristol; he keeps me in the loop. In fact, the young dudes organising some of these things are very keen to get me involved, which is nice given that I'm well over 100 years old.

Thanks Andy, much appreciated. There was a time when at least a tiny minority of Forumites liked what I was doing, but I think those days have long gone...it's just you now! The same on the UK site: kinda depressing...but onwards we go!!!


Thanks again.

Hi

Here's the second of my four compass points album Warm music...with warm (sometimes hot) steel.

Thanks Dennis! It was fun.

Here's something I recorded today. I often play over drones, but I particularly liked this one, so I kept it as a souvenir.

Thanks Dan. For the record, I'm not all that much into electronica either. But there's good and there's less good, and I consider my son Francis to be up there with the very best...so that helps. Where he scores is in the complexity, subtlety and variety of his sounds...thanks to a wonderful upbring...

Thanks Brian...appreciate your support.
