Processing drums and guitar using Ableton Live's audio effects racks.
In this episode, Christopher shows us some accessible ways to do make weird sounds using stock plug-ins in Ableton Live. He shows how to use them along with automation clips to sequence processing—specifically drum and guitar tracks.
Tune in each month as Christopher shows us some of the ways he produces his own music, as well as the many cool things you can do with recording software. According to Christopher, "I simply want to excite people's imaginations and creative processes so they can more easily create the sounds and music and art they love."

" High interest for -- to be talking about audio effects are actually able to -- and how we can use these to sequence processing so this first example I'm gonna processing Jones there courted last episode reject -- Getting jobs here's a -- signal. -- No -- gonna do street in new audio track and we're gonna run that into the new audio track in sound and audio effects are so it's making audio track. That's -- in the something relevant. And we're gonna do is take the audio from certain external and put it. When you come down when she's drones. So get Jones gonna master that's a drastic -- we also Jones coming here we're gonna have to from processing. -- at this let's drag an audio extract. Into this new term processing track this is underlie devices and audio effects and then within here. We have a location we can drag. Different effects but this is doing is it's encapsulated in. Different types of processing. Into layers essentially we have -- over here we don't need to see is right now Logan -- later and we better chain's list so you gonna take.

So he -- drag these and Ukrainian in the chain and then this last one let's take something in the corpus recess. Here a case and now with in this audio effects track we have four different chains. And these chains can have different amplitude -- let's play this back -- one nation -- processing track.
