Small Town Pretty

Continuing the theme of the last mix I did this runs 80 minutes in length and is more about fun that sharpens Ableton skills slightly so all manner of music is played as part of a continuous layered composition. If you don’t like something just skip ahead a few minutes and no doubts be appalled further.

While there’s obvious prep-work necessary for a mix of this nature (drummers PLEASE use a metronome in the recording studio) I’m doing this within some boundaries. No acapella/instrumentals, no stupid abuse of tempo when warped, outside of EQ the only effect I’m using is compression (which unfortunately becomes necessary when you’ve got as many as four tracks playing together) and I’m playing as much of the track as possible, completely if I can, there’s no cutting up, looping, re-cueing etc. I’m basically trying to mimic the way I do PA’s but made of other peoples music, using tracks to represent beats, breaks, leads, vocals etc. Anyway, enjoy/hate.
