I’m trying to go stock Ableton and a bit of M4L, I’m trying to put together a live set of some sort and I feel like maybe that stuff is more reliable than 3rd party plugins? Not that I ever get crashes day to day but you know…
It’s pretty cool actually to get a deeper appreciation for how good some of the Live stuff is, and focus a bit more on “what primitives do I need to use to achieve what I want” vs. using presets etc… and I do prefer the native UI over loads of floating windows.
If you’re interested in techno, the tutorials I linked here do some great sound design with mostly just Live devices, I found it quite inspiring to see what he could craft from them.
