Create Lo-Fi Beats with Ableton Live and Push

“Thanks so much for taking my course and letting me share with you what I love about lo-fi beats, Ableton, Push, and music-making. Now it's your turn to create your own lo-fi beat for your final project. The first thing is to focus on your four ingredients: chords, drum beats, bass lines, and textures.

To start, use "Chromatic Mode" to play melodic chords and find your progression. Sequence your beat with the step sequencer, then support it with a deep soothing "low end". Once you've figured all that out, don't hesitate to use various effects to add texture to your sound. Then put all these elements together and arrange them into a full-length beat that is captivating all the way through. Your beat is done! Now, I’d like you to export your full beat and upload it to Soundcloud, Spotify, Apple Music, and more so that the world can enjoy it. Most importantly, don't forget to share it in the Domestika forum. We'd all love to hear what you've made! Tell us about the different steps, why you chose those sounds and effects. In short, your musical journey. I'm sure we can all learn a lot from your experience. The forum is a community for all creators to get to know each other—constructively comment on each other's work, and help and support each other. Remember that the beat I made and the template provided are only suggestions. The tools I've offered are there to help you get started quickly. You are more than encouraged to create your own sounds from scratch, and explore producing and sound design far beyond anything I showed here. If there is one thing to remember from what I've said in this course it's to keep the process fun, playful, and always enjoy what you’re doing. It’ll come out in the finished project and others will enjoy listening to it too. Thank you again for joining me. Now let's hear your beat! ”
