making an ethereal electronic pop beat in 5 steps (in ableton 12)

this song is out now! 💖 available wherever you listen to music: lunrgirl.com/2...
I thought I'd try something a little different and upload a process video! All of this was made on the spot; I started with a completely fresh Ableton project.
I'll try to get another performance video up next week. In the meantime, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this video and this type of video! :)
Hope you're having a great week! 💖

@@lunr_girl nice I'm trying to get a live set together using push 3. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@markhenke2709]

Hi did you paint they Novation controller key pink yourself... I looked to see of there was a limited edition! lol

[@lunr_girl]

@@markhenke2709 hehe yes I did paint them :) using masking tape and spray paint. The white keys are actually also painted - a light blue/grey but it’s kinda hard to tell in the video

[@markhenke2709]

@@lunr_girl thanks! lol

[@joehill5476]

Please may I ask, what audio interface are you using? Thank you. This is luscious.

[@lunr_girl]

Hey! Yeah no problem. I’m using a Scarlett 2i2. But I’m also using my push 3 as well - I made an aggregate device (in audioMIDIsetup, there are videos on how to do that). Hope that helps! :)

[@lunr_girl]

And thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it :)

It's interesting that you try to record everything live. I mean, you don't write notes in Ableton, you just play. You come up with interesting chords and record them on the fly. Then you adapt vocals and other instruments to them. I've seen in other videos that you also record live instruments. Interesting, interesting :)

[@lunr_girl]

@@PiotrPM I find playing helps me make better music I think :)

[@PiotrPM]

@@lunr_girl Yes, for sure and it increases creativity.

There is a saying, the musician sits and the performer stands. With this type of vid, the behind the scenes process stuff, that's musician. If you are going for glitz, branding or any of that stuff, the process vids prolly aren't a good idea. There is an exception, but recording something and not releasing it might seem weird. A personal video diary though, is good for your growth, you don't have to share it.

[@lunr_girl]

@@gossamyr hey! I appreciate your feedback but I’m not quite sure I get what you mean :)
