Oh, I have ran into that same issue with my old laptops. It makes it a pain to get old tracks running.

Stock Ableton sounds great here. TBH I don't think you need much more then what they provide if you know what you are doing.

Oh, indeed. I forced myself to get out of Ableton in order to get out of my confort zone and mainly because I use Linux more than I use macOS, but I think it has enough devices and tools to keep you occupied for years. I've never been some great synth collector, but lately I got rid of some pieces because, let's be honest, I kept programming my stuff inbox

Thankfully, I got a replacement battery the next day, so my trusty 2012 Macbook could live a little bit longer doing its thing (maybe another 12 years?).

A reliable laptop and well mastered piece of software can in someways be ultimate hardware depending on how you look at it

1000 (A Thousand!!!) % agree on that. Sadly Youtubers talking about a certain software only get to reach "Tutorial audience" if you know what I mean. Total respect to hardware, but "hardware jams" in social media has become like some kind of "I'm REAL musician are Ur not with ya toy computer".

That pulsing arp sounds awesome floating over the bubbly bass.  A pleasing and soothing chord progression too.  Nice work!

Thank you, Eric! It's miles away from the quality of your harmonies, but at least I manage to make a chord progression with more that TWO chords... I'm into punk rock territory here

Thanks again for your kind words
