Console EQ 🎛️

Hey everyone, here's a new(ish) one for ya.

Console EQ gives you an analog mixing workflow inside Ableton Live. Modelled on a classic analog channel strip, Console EQ intentionally limits your choices while still being flexible enough for most situations. It features 4 bands of EQ plus high and lowpass filters with an analog saturation sta...

New Year, New Tools 🌈

Hey everyone, Happy New Year! I hope you all had a good holiday season and are ready for the year ahead 🌈

Over the break, I've been working on my music-making setup. My toolset was feeling a little sprawling and disorganised - plugins I'd bought and used once, or tools that I hadn't mastered and I'd load up and flip through a few preset...

Learn Live 11: Shifter

I'd almost forgotten that I did this video for Ableton a while back on the updated Shifter device in Live 11. Fortunately it popped up in my YouTube feed recently so I could remember to share it!
