The technology I choose to use was Ableton Live. Ableton Live is a software music sequence and digital audio workstation. Ableton Live was designed by Gerhard Behles and Bernt Roggendorf, and was designed to be an instrument during live performances. It is also a tool used to compose, record, mix, and arrange music. It was originally created as a relatively simple loop arrangement tool, but later became more advanced. After this software became more advanced, it was a big hit for producers of electronic genres. The lower version of this offers a few instruments, but the more advanced version offers a lot more instruments. The two effects that Ableton Live offers are Audio effects which include, amp, tuner, chorus, and more, as well as MIDI effects, which include, chord, pitch, and note length. The software includes an arrangement view, which allows you to organize music along a timeline, an audio to MIDI conversion, which let you turn drum breaks into MIDI patterns that you can edit, warping clips, which allow you to change the tempo and timing of music, and instruments. Any person is able to use this software and create whatever they want, so the technology is mainly used in the way it should be. I personally have no experience with this software. It seems like a awesome software, but I would have no idea where to begin or how to produce a good beat.

One DJ who uses Ableton live a lot is Skrillex. He is known to use Operator, Ableton’s FM synth, to produce some of his monster bass sounds. One song using Ableton was “Where Are U Now”, produced by Skrillex and Diplo, and a collaborative effort with Jack U, with vocals by Justin Bieber. In this song, Skrillex used Ableton to create the flute-like sound after each chorus. He created the sound by modulating Bieber’s vocals.
