How I record rock songs quickly in Ableton Live

[@arendleejessurun]

Love this! That verse melody reminds me a lot of Death Cab. And it's cool to see your Ableton-Reaper workflow. Your Ableton videos are making me consider actually learning and putting to use that Live Lite license I have.

[@jonny26281]

It’s like a cross between Death Cab and Pavement. Good job David

[@epipron]

made me think of nada surf a bit

[@danvan8789]

Good Video, nice to see the time lapsed, edited video of you building the project

[@nickshutte8369]

Great video & demonstration of some skills to change an idea into a song!

[@hardymaritz1222]

This reminds me of the Alan Parson’s Project. Well done

[@WillClancyMcNab]

Awesome video! :D came for learning on how to improve on my Ableton skills and found out it is actually OK to work between Ableton and Reaper (which I've been doing for a while and felt bad about it xD)

[@BrodyWoelke]

Really week done, gonna reference this later.

[@arsphoenix1822]

Was not expecting to hear these Sunny Day Real Estate vibes!

[@nicobarbieri]

I really appreciate your videos🌟🌟🌟

[@HaroldIsaacMartinezRangel]

Question. Why didn't you record the guitars and vocals directly in Ableton? Why you decided to use Reaper to that part of the process?

[@autofocus4556]

Awesome song

[@andrewbarker8635]

Great video, cool song! The Bandcamp link to the song seems to be broken though.

[@DavidHilowitzMusic]

Thanks! I just fixed it. :)

[@sourcefor]

Great stuff thanks!!!

[@cormacmaher2]

I like your hair

[@django-music]

I love the result. Which mic are you using for your vocals?

[@DavidHilowitzMusic]

Thanks! I'm use the ridiculously cheap MXL990. I have a few more expensive mics, but for some reason the MXL seems to sound best for my voice.

[@django-music]

​Thanks for your reply. I’m currently exploring microphones for singing and sampling with a bit more frequency range( I currently use a SM57). I love your channel btw, might dive into Kontakt myself once I have acquired a license.

[@shapedsilver3689]

Before you replaced the piano with the guitar it sounded like an indie pop song that would’ve been popular in like the late 00’s

[@dralithi]

"How I record in Ableton" *Records in Reaper* 😅 (I kid, if you like Reaper's take function, why not use it?)

[@Anne-bf2fb]

Sounds like if death cab, Radiohead, and coldplay had a musical baby

[@riccello]

Nice. 2 girls 1 cup music.

[@Anne-bf2fb]

And the flaming lips sound in there too

[@TheSweep12]

Sound kind like Sonic youth

[@susanadiaz8819]

Whats the BPm on this track?

[@DavidHilowitzMusic]

140BPM

[@SunlightOfTheSpirit]

Drums maybe half time?

[@drioko]

so cheesy but I like this

[@RichiiMichii]

why you recording on reaper if you can recording in ableton? why??

[@DavidHilowitzMusic]

When I made this video, Ableton Live didn’t have a take system. This was added in Ableton Live 11.

[@RichiiMichii]

@@DavidHilowitzMusic really?? ooh! wow! thank's for the aclaration... I use Ableton live 11 just this year. ( I coming from FL Studio )

[@danvan8789]

@@DavidHilowitzMusic what is the take system? just DI etc. at once

[@pianoevolution3961]

@@DavidHilowitzMusic What's take system?

[@antonyhartley9586]

I mean objective.

[@MusicalMarble]

It has kind of a Foo Fighters feel to it.

[@tekk2987]

More like Interpol I think

[@lamarthe_headcrab7687]

Anything but haha.

[@Lonleywolf82]

sounds a little bit like Jimmy Eat World
