Great video mate!!! You mentioned that you never use the session view in another video, but I think you're missing a trick. It's really handy when in the early stages of arrangment. You just set some scenes up and jam a live arrangment in on the fly. It's a great starting point and you get to try out different variations without having to move stuff about, mute delete etc.
Thanks mate. And you might be right. I have done that in the past, and it’s cool. Just didn’t stick with me for some reason. But might give it another go. 👍
Hi Marius and all. I added some basic timestamps to help me reference the steps. Hope this is useful to you. 1:38 - Reviewing 8-bar loop and setting up the track 3:48 - Working through the track and removing elements 5:20 - Don’t try to make it perfect - just a first arrangement 7:15 - A little side-chaining (Trackspacer) 10:38 - Panning melodies for interest 11:10 - Breakdown 15:30 - Adding some bars to the outro 16:45 - Adding filter (Repro-1) to Arp 18:36 - Video outro Great video Marius! Thank you!
Great stuff Marius. My struggles with organization and attention span have always made arrangement the most difficult part of finishing music. Gonna give this approach a try
I find the key to be to work really, really fast. And not be too concerned whether the arrangement you choose is the “right” one. You can always change stuff when you come back to it later.
Hi Marius! Nice to see this new style of vid’s! Could you please tell us why you kept the CIRKLON and how do you integrate it in your new way of producing …is it linked to Ableton ? Many thanks
Hey! Yeah, I've been thinking for a while that I want to do something like this, so good to finally get going. Glad to hear you're enjoying the videos. 😊 As far as the Cirklon goes, it's here for two reasons: first of all, I'm a bit terrified of selling it, due to the current 4 year waiting list. So I wanna be 100 % sure I don't need it anymore before letting it go. So no matter what I conclude, I don't think I'll sell it until at least a year has passed. But I mean, it can obviously also sequence soft synths, so have also thought that I might use it for that in the future. But we'll see. It's currently not doing much to be honest. Basically just works as the world's most expensive midi interface... 😂 It receives clock from Ableton Live, and clocks the Microcosm and my midi keyboard. Nothing more at the moment.
Hey! Glad you enjoy! And I will. Wasn't that practical with time stamps in this particular video, as it doesn't have clearly defined sections, but will do in the next one. ;-)

Gotcha! 😉
Hey loving your vids, would be super helpful if you added time stamps!!
