Free Ableton Live Pack From Amon Tobin, Eskmo

Ableton Live: ilGates introduces a new free Ableton Live Pack. Fine Objects, created for Eskamon – a collaboration between Amon Tobin (Ninja Tune) & Eskmo (Warp, Planet Mu, Ancestor):

“Fine Objects” is the result of the pair’s unique take on sonic exploration and the manipulation of field recordings. From the onset, the two went out with a recorder, gathering sounds from around the house, yard and studio. Material recorded out of the studio included sounds from a parking garage elevator, a broken harp and the droning tones from a discarded piano. These were combined with more home-centric sounds to form the central theme to the song.

With lumbering alien bass and intentionally dry, off-kilter percussion, “Objects” quickly grew into it’s own symbolic representation of taking “odd pieces” and allowing them to grow into something a bit more “refined and ablaze.”

As part of the release ESKAMON released a free WAV sample pack of the sounds created in the song. From these original WAVs, an Ableton Live pack was also created by ill. Gates for the project and given out for free with the release as well. This video is the tutorial ill.Gates shot to help explain the features he made on the Ableton side of the project.

  5. I liked the intro. Was that from the album?
    Could do without the ensuing geek. (oh. he wasn't from the album was he..?)

  8. Now, I maybe a cynic be he talks as if he doesn't know the depths of Ableton Live. I mean really; he "programmed" the music, and he thinks Sampler ("samples" as a whole) are the greatest because of the ease of sound reproducing and because otherwise Live gets all sluggish and slow, and with Sampler you can sample your sounds and then use it?

    Dude… All fine and well, but there are dozens of other ways to prevent Live from overusing CPU power and to overcome just such caveats. And they don't need to involve Sampler. I'm not negative about sound designing while using samples within Sampler, but IMO the real sound design comes in creating such samples. That's where the real power can be found.

    Anyway, I personally stopped caring after I saw the movie about the Livepack where he explained that it was basically a whole collection of samples he was working with and demonstrated the ease of (re-)using those in Sampler. Esp. after they tell you on the website that they want your e-mail address in exchange.

    I can get sample collections without even having to give my e-mail address, my stance on that is that if they want your e-mail address its not really free. And quite frank;y: *purely* commenting on the technical aspects (so *not* the music itself) I have to say that I've seen better livepacks. Where people actually combined one with the other; so a dose of Samples for your common and "easy" effects combined by specific tracks where they'd use stuff like Operator or Analog, combined with several effects to get those specific supporting sound effects.

    And as for being CPU demanding; that's why Ableton invented frozen tracks, among other things. But either way; those kind of Livepacks are IMO much more impressive. And you actually get to learn something as well about the wonderful world of sound design.

  14. Hey not to go off topic but can anyone give me a review of. New York Car Insurance Reform 295 Greenwich St, New York, NY 10007 (646) 351-0824 They are down the block from me. I was wondering once they were a good insurance company. I need to obtain coverage, it is regulations you know, but I have to have a good price price plus I’d prefer friendly service.

  15. @Deeta, yeah it’s best ever! They totally repaired by tricycle and omg the sounds, I sampled the shit out of that workshop.
