Although it's nice to explain in plain english to an agent how do you want to process the audio with CDP (Composers Desktop Project) effects. it's just not as fun as connecting nodes yourself and experiment. All of it, in today's workshop -> shorturl.at/JcJby

Developed in the ’80s, CDP is one of the wildest sound-design toolkits, and it’s now available as a free Ableton Live Extension! I used Reverse Grain Order to transform percussion loops and the Harmoniser to create unexpected vocal ear candy.

During the Mastering workshop (sidebrain.net/product/mast...) someone asked about the difference between compression, hard clipping and limiting (1st image) And if you’re looking for a built in Hard Clipper in Ableton use the Saturator (2nd image).
