Today we become Avicii and discover the world of sound production and mashups. We were presented with a file of excerpts of different pop songs and were told to use Soundtrap to create a mash-up with the songs. I chose an part of "Royals" by Lorde and "All the time" by Zara Larsson. Honestly it didn't turn as bad as I thought it would be. But there are limitations on Soundtrap...for once. It isn't as precise when wanted to snip a certain section. Thus Ableton is born!
Ableton to me is scary. Like horror movie conjuring style scary. There is way too many buttons and colours which gets a little overwhelming. But it was actually kinda dope listening and watching James Humberstone doing his demonstration on Abelton LIVE! Like Sibelius, it does take time to understand but once you do it is worth it. When implementing Ableton into a school setting, preferably senior years of high school, step-by-step guides is definitely reccomanded. But once done, students are able to express their creative minds easily and take music and re-create it into their own style. I've always been intrigued in the idea of remixing speeches with music and it is possible to do it on SOUNDTRAP! Here is a link of a tutorial of this can be done.
