If this is all ITB then what did you do the "patch" with? VCV rack?

This would fit Mr. Robot.

A nice pitchshifted roomy transparent sound.

This sounded cool, I enjoyed it. I think your ITB skills growing, and work is paying off. Built up another Wavetable patch on here? tastiness.  I hear you wanting to jump back on some hardware, nice to have the variety to keep things spicy. I'm doing hardware jam this week too, at least that's the plan. Even with hardware you can bring into Live for some more ITB edits. Someday when we're jamming I could show you my method for cutting lon jam recordings down in length. After seeing the comment above, I'm totally picturing this in various scenes of Mr. Robot which I love, yeah it would fit well in that!

wonderful title for this too!

love all the space and tension in this sound. great mood for crawling through air ducts.

Ah, I have an old habit of calling presets "patches" It's just Ableton Wavetable - I've been trying to use it for just about everything to get better chops in both it and Live proper. That's for the main patch, the hi hat, and I think the shaker. The "tumbling" arpeggio is Ableton's Analog (which I actually don't like much and will probably ignore for a while). The drums are (I think) some TT606 samples I made plus a stock Ableton sample called something like "X rated snap".

Thank you! I dig Mr. Robot

I could totally see that!

Thank you I didn't use any pitch shift in this so I'm wondering what sounds like that! It could be the unison on the main synth which seems to mess with harmonics in a similar way. I also turned up the resonance on its filter until it started to "glow". An old favorite trick and also the origin of the title

Thank you so much for the kind words!

Yes, 2 or 3 Wavetable patches in this one. I really like that synth and I feel like I could use it for even more parts - maybe entire tracks. It is missing a few things the Hydrasynth spoiled me with though  

The thing I miss about hardware right now is that it's easy to relinquish a bit of control and have more of a collaborative relationship. The DAW seems to have a kind of "blank page" effect, at least how I'm using it, which can be both liberating and intimidating. There's lots of ways around that, of course. I'm conflicted because I like this workflow, and it's excellent to learn new things, but my 2024 tunes so far are a bit stiff as a result of my weak Live chops. I would like to loosen and liven things up somehow, whether I stay pure Live or not. At the very least, I could get some a sloppy hardware jam in to use as a sketch/palimpsest/skeleton to build more Wavetable stuff around, even if I don't keep the original parts in the final track.

I'd love to see some more of your Live tricks!

Thank you

Finger snaps are a great choice! Especially with the reverb or echo, it gives instantly a sense of space to the track and grounds it also to an organic reality. This becomes a moody track, with a noire vibe. I like that you kept it minimalistic. The line at 1:03 is like a surgical injection of mystery. This track would work well as the soundtrack for a mystery game, in a dimly lit environment.

lots of texture here, and big spaces! really enjoyed it

Thank you! That noire thing is interesting, I didn't even intend for it to sound mysterious but a few people picked up on that. I like that idea - I definitely had dim lighting in mind when I worked on it

Thank you, glad you enjoyed

Some really pleasant sounds here, that snap has such a nice reverb on it, I like how everything has space on this allowing each sound to stand out.

really neat space in this mix - tickled my plugged up ears

Quite nice tones here and the shifting synth tone is cool.  Ableton is amazing.  You could create forever in it really.  Hardware does rule though.
