This pack contains the five Ableton Live Projects featured in my Mac DeMarco Synth Sounds article, which are complete remakes of the songs:
Another One
Chamber of Reflection
For The First Time
On The Level
Watching Him Fade Away
These are relatively straightforward projects; each song features 5 tracks at most, but they go a long way to show how much you can do with a limited setup. I recorded bass guitar and used Toontrack Superior Drummer 3 for ‘real’ drums in four of the projects (all but Watching Him Fade Away). All the tracks have been frozen, so if you don’t have SD3, you’ll still be able to open the Live projects and hear the drum audio.
