#MotivationMonday!

For anyone a little low on inspiration, I'm started a weekly segment on the blog called #MotivationMonday. It's something short and sweet to help get the creative juices flowing.  Here's our first installment!

Add New Sound Design Possibilities With External Gear

If you're getting a little bored with using the same effects all the time, give Ableton Live's External Audio Effect device a try.  The External Audio Effect allows you to route sound out of your computer, into some hardware gear, and back into Live all within one device.  There's no need to set up complicated routings with multiple tracks, this device lets you do it in a nice neat way.  Check out the video below to see how it is done!         

Download The Sounds From the Video

If you enjoyed the instrument sounds from the video, they can be yours!  

The drums are from my Super Tape Drums Ableton Live Pack, which features hundreds of drum samples recorded to reel to reel tape, and organized into some cool Ableton Live Drum Racks.  

The bell sounds come from my Wind Chime Instruments, that are a bunch of Instrument and Drum Racks created from samples of some high-end wind chimes.
