In the second part of the How To Finish A Track series I explain how I use the Session View and Capture And Insert Scene command in Ableton to create my arrangements.
Warping Bass Tutorial
Wanna warp the hell out of a bass? I know I do. Here's one way to go about it on Ableton. 1. Add Operator 2. Play in one note for 2 bars 3. Add Saturator and turn up the drive 4.

How To Finish A Track Part 1 – Location Markers Arrangement
It's a problem as old as time. You get a sick loop going, everything is feeling vibesy as hell. You're dancing around the studio having the time of your life and feeling like bloody David Guetta crossed with Dr. Dre. All of a sudden the realisation hits you. You can't accept the Grammy just yet, because you haven't arranged the loop into a full track yet... You stare at the big grey expanse of the timeline with nothing on it and your heart sinks. How are you meant to fill all that space with your sick loop? Which bits...
LIVE STREAM 07. – Writing A New Track Live From Scratch – Part 3
OK this one is nearly complete. Added another two sections and got it into arrangement view. I reckon I will do the last bits and bobs when I can this week and then we can move onto something different for the live stream next week. My brain has really been in computer build mode this last week as I built a new Hackintosh and although it's going to make workflow a million times better moving forward, I didn't have much brain power for anything else haha. Back stronger next week! Cheers, Liam
