***update- listen here, start at the 3min mark, somethen like this ….

I’ve been back using ableton and sorting music more then usual, which isnt a really bad thing, messing around, making tapes and workng on some stuff with friends. Seems to be a whole great deal of new things to play with though, including new ipad midi controller called touchable , thats what you can see to the right and the thing first up in the video below, it basically syncs with abletons session view and all your controls can be handled from the device, filters, effects, loops control, tempo etc etc etc, fairly solid really for $30au, you can also install the iphone app for around 2-3$au, which is a pretty great deal.

Just add instant headache, i also started to collate and sort and get into somekind manageable order of The Rolling-Stones Top 500 Songs of all Time list, released a couple years ago, i have the list down to about 240 tracks that i want to use and slowly but surely importing them one by one and prepping, warping and setting, at my current rate, its looking like months, i intend to make them all work somehow though, for a podcast, although that may never eventuate, as the task may get the better of me.

I’ve recorded my screen with a few tracks from the playlist i had been organising, not all that organised an nothing near clean or complete, but if you’re interested how it works and what The Animals, Fleetwood Mac, Bob Marley, Neil Young, Tom Petty, Dr Dre, Snoop Dog, Maryvn Gaye & Tina Turner remixed together very poorly sounds like then, well …

>> Press play …

Ive also typed the artist when a new sample is started to show whats what, oh an be sure to enlarge vid to fit screen to see it all… unless you squint great…

Ps. oh and apologies for the lack of links past two weeks or so, really havnt had that great a time to collate them. I will get there … have faith….

Pps. How funny funny is that crack fox tale clip below….
