How to use Koala Sampler with Ableton Push Standalone via ADAT
—
by
I might finally have solved the perfect idea-machine setup, using Koala Sampler hooked up to the Ableton Push 3, for perfect back-and forth sampling and grooving. Koala might be the best sampler on any platform, hardware or software. Start it up, and you see 16 empty pads, plus a few controls. Tap a pad to…

Hacking Ableton’s Push 3 to add a 1TB drive
—
by
Using this excellent guide, I managed to replace the 256GB SSD in my Push with a 1TB version, create a new default Live set, and rename the generic collection labels. It was both easy, and hard. The Push 3 is designed to be opened up and upgraded. If you have the plain version, you can…

Writers, musicians, artists — stop calling your work ‘content,’ FFS
—
by
“Content” is what marketing folks, or platform builders, call video, music, text, and so on. For them, songs, movies, and stories are equal, interchangeable units, the purpose of which is to fill up their online stores. When an artist describes their work as “content,” they belittle the work itself. By referring to their creations in…

I started this song during the lockdown. No surprise that it’s even darker than usual.

### Possibly never previously published This bonus episiode was possibly never published. It doesn’t show up in the archived feeds of any of the usual podcast directories, and I can’t find my original episode captions. So, you can go in cold, and enjoy a discussion from the world as it was around one year ago…
