Sonic Bloom: A Must Read Ableton Live Blog

There's a bunch of music production/Ableton Live related sites I like to visit time to time, and then there's a select few that I read every article. Sonic Bloom is a must read. Created by Madeleine Bloom, a former Ableton tech support employee, Sonic Bloom always has something really nice to offer.  Whether it's free Live Packs (check out this drum rack made with sounds from a Coke bottle), tutorials (here's a useful one on locking automation in arrangement view), or unique Max for Live devices (Chord Memorizer anyone?), Madeleine will no doubt keep your inspiration levels high.

May I Recommend...

If you are interested in taking advantage of this sale (and you should be!),  may I recommend the Max for Cats Delays. There are two to choose from and both are really awesome. Skram Delay is a more glitchy random delay that sounds unlike anything in Live. Stochastic Delay is a complex delay that can really come alive with mouse movements and filtering.  Maybe I should let the videos speak for themselves.
