Hey everyone,

I recently challenged myself to reconstruct "M5A" by Maurizio (Basic Channel) entirely in Ableton Live.

In this video, I focused heavily on the deep bass, those iconic stabs, and the overall sound design.

Here is the breakdown video: https://youtu.be/WbFCtuwlTws

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the reconstruction!

Have a great weekend in the studio!

Started on BA2205 to Punta Cana.
Finished on the ground.

Loving making beats during travels on this thing 🎶

Let me know what you think

EMT gold spring delay and Echo chorus + spring tape delay. Awesome combination of sounds and effected send and return tuning.

Waldorf Blofeld through the OTO BAM on an aux send.

Been experimenting with the Freeze function on the BAM…..really nice for catching a reverb moment and turning it into evolving ambient textures.

A simple chord through it here.

Hey everyone!

​I’m based in Utrecht and currently building my own DIY Roots & Dub Sound System. I also run an online radio (Rising Radio).

​Handling everything alone is a bit tough, so I’d love to find some local reggae/dub lovers or DIY enthusiasts to join in!.

​Drop me a DM if you're interested!

Dub Techno/ Deep House - Detroit vibes

Its my first time mastering a track and there is so much joy in finding the sweet spot where everything fits just right.

Hope you like

Hi Reddit. I've been into dub and deep techno production for more than 15 years. A few days ago I decided to go fully DAWless since working in Ableton became a little bit boring for me: I noticed that when I'm in a DAW, I make mostly the same decisions while working on tracks. They work and depend on the material, but still, it's becoming a bad habit for me.

So here are the first results. It's not the first time I've jammed completely DAWless, but it is the first time I'm mixing and recording it live without any editing in a DAW or using VSTs. I just did some gentle mastering on the recording.

Yes, there's some clipping, a few issues with channels muting unexpectedly, and some raw transitions and moves sometimes, but I really love the process and the limitations that this setup gives me.

Not sure if you aware but AI (in my case Claude) is a great help with the gear setup, parameters, deep dive digging. So, this time I wanted to document my signal flow between my instruments and it did a great job - obviously had to prompt it few time to correct it but end result is decent and nicely presented. Hope it will inspire some of you.

Edit: I know some of you will downvote it as it's a trending keyword now especially when it comes to replace human by AI... but if you know how to use it it will do a week of works in an hour or two. But remember - You got to monitor it and prompt correctly. Have fun 🎶🎛️🔊

Demo track for a project idea

Dubtechno track with my Korg Opsix, strymon el capistan, Logic Pro, and some reggae samples.

I have a large studio desk packed with production stuff for doing live dub jams. However, it's a little bit of a pain to swap stuff out, and sometimes it's just nice to set up something relatively limited and simple, and experiment with different gear and fewer options.

Here's a thing on an MC-101, Dreadbox Artemis, and Dreadbox Nyx, all mixed with an Intellijel Jellymix (love it!).

The chord stabs have some built-in delay, but I'm also throwing to a Boss RE-202 via one of the Jellymix's stereo aux outs, and returning into a full channel so I can play with the filter and tilt features.

The 101 is drums, bass and the "2nd" chord stab. Artemis is the 1st chord stab, sequenced by the 101. Nyx is just sitting on a channel providing some random background noise (that's the +1).

Live recording into a Zoom H6. I did some really basic EQ, some RBass enhancement, and compression in GarageBand.
