The Core Elements of Electronic Music

If you’re new to making beats, you might think it’s some magic process where people fool around with a bunch of loops and come up with a track at the end. But that's not quite how it works.

YOU NEED A SYSTEM

Without a system to take you from your starting idea to the final mixdown, you’re going to waste a LOT of precious studio time banging your head on your desk.

WHERE DOES THIS COME FROM?

This system comes from the days of making electronic music on MIDI hardware, when every recording session was like a live performance.

The tracks came out feeling raw and dangerous.

You can get this same feel with Ableton, where Session View lets us make tracks that feel fluid and improvised, just like the original techno, house and DnB.
