Dub Techno Sound Design Session - Ableton Music Production Livestream January 8th 2025

Welcome to the Human Synthetics Ableton Music Production Livestream. A low-key, chill space to hang out, watch me make tunes, mess with sounds, chop breaks, chat music producer philosophy, and whatever else takes my fancy.

I’m always happy to answer questions from the chat. Having trouble with your tunes? Maybe I can help?

@HumanSynthetics

Hi, my name's Alex and I make electronic music as Human Synthetics. I make jungle, drum and bass, breakbeat, idm, house, techno, electro, lofi, dubstep, bass music, garage, ambient and whatever I can try my hand at.

I livestream my everyday creative process as a music producer using Ableton Live. I make music every day whenever and wherever I can and I want to share this process with the world. I hope that documenting my own music making inspires and encourages you to persevere with your own creative endeavours.    • Livestreams  

I also occasionally make tutorials about using Ableton Live, from chopping breaks to mixing and mastering.    • Ableton Tutorials  

My intention for the channel has always been to document the full music production process, from starting a track, to finishing it. This happens less than I would like, but it does happen, and when it does I often try to shoot some sort of track breakdown. These can be found in my channel playlists:    / @humansynthetics  

I release music on Spotify, Bandcamp and SoundCloud:
