Making a Hip Hop Beat ABLETON

FANTASTiC | 20 January 2025 | 110 MB

Been meaning to go against the clock to make a beat for the longest time. First effort is here! I actually liked this a lot. I admit 100% I didn’t realize how fast that 15 minutes would go. I did ZERO preparation, planning, scripting…none. So it came out ok, considering. The only rule I set for myself is that I’d use Ableton Packs only, because I felt I’d need some frames for it. Let me know if you’d like to see more; I def feel like I want to explore this avenue much more!
