RE: Make a Streaming Radio Station in Ableton Live with a Million Songs!

in #music7 years ago

This is, perhaps, the most unnecessary, excessive, extravagant and indulgent use of Ableton that I have ever seen.

Bravo to you, sir. When I clicked on this I literally expected it to be "so I'm just gonna put a bunch of clips in arrangement view and press play"

but then you went and turned it into some John Cage-esque music-meets-math experimental insanity. I love it. I actually use Ableton a lot and you've given me some ideas for posts and possible experiments here.

Now, what if someone wanted to make an actual radio station in Ableton? Like, you know, to play real songs? I kind of want to make that tutorial. I would set everything to 60bpm and the time sig to 60/4 to easily keep track of minutes & seconds (this is actually the same thing I do when mastering) and then turn off loop on all the clips and set them to all trigger the next one. Perhaps a little less involved than making a grand musical experiment, but useful for someone trying to start their own online radio station...
