Free Ableton Live Pack #183: Sound Design from Field Recordings

I've been accumulating some field recordings over the last few months, and on this episode of the Music Production Podcast we do something with them. 

I used recordings of the checkout line at Costco, my dogs eating ice cubes, and crickets in the rain. After about 30 minutes of experimentation, I wound up with a textured synth pad, a beepy pluck instrument, some interesting transitional noises and risers, and a Drum Rack of my dogs eating ice cubes.

All Sounds Made Live for the Music Production Podcast!

I created all of these sounds live on the Music Production Podcast. You can watch in on the screen recording or listen to it. I tried to make sure it works on both platforms! Enjoy!
