Anyone use Ableton for Emoviolence/Hardcore/Skramz music production? Any workflow or tips for this?
I came over from FL Studio about 6 years ago producing primarily hip hop, but realized in Ableton how easy it was to start recording live instrumentation and it brought me back to my first love in music which was hardcore punk and its subgenres. After about 6 years of messing with it I finally released my first EP earlier this year. I thought I would share some of the things I have done to make my life easier when demoing and comping songs.
VST I use are Steven Slate Drums, and Fortin NTS. I have a bunch of drum grooves saved for popular drum beats of the genre that I can just drop in and get to writing before modifying them to fit the riffs. I have some Audio Effect Rack presets I use to drop in and get me a decent starting point for vocals/guitar/bass.
What are some tricks or tips you have when recording/comping hardcore punk and related subgenres?
