This Ableton Move Hack Sparks New Ideas Instantly

Sometimes the best music comes from doing the opposite of what feels logical. Here's a simple trick that completely changed how I approach the Ableton Move. Hope you dig this trick as much as I do - if that’s the case, a sub to my YouTube channel helps me a lot to get going with my creative work:

THE HACK: Create empty 2-bar clips and automate ALL 8 macros before you even hear what it does. Then jam with the automated movement and see what emerges.

WHY IT WORKS: Creates unexpected sonic movements you'd never program manually and forces you out of predictable patterns.

TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - The counterintuitive approach 0:30 - Setting up automation on E-Piano Moody preset 2:15 - Live jam with automated macros 3:45 - Bonus: FX automation madness 5:20 - Why this sparks creativity

PRESET USED: E-Piano Moody (built into Move)

The beauty of this approach is that it generates musical movements you'd never think to create manually.

Stay creative,

Miles
