Hi everyone,
I've created an
Ableton template that you can get on Gumroad for $1. I wanted anyone to have access to a pro-workflow I have seen many artists use in collaborations and online Masterclasses. I also added my best practices from 20 years of sound engineering in the form of FX racks and pre-mixed samples. Since I am using this approach, making electronic music has become much faster and super enjoyable!
Rapid Flow is an Ableton Live Template (V9 and above) that is pre-mixed and mastered and is a great starting point for your productions and live set. You will only need Ableton Live Suite to use it. It includes a video explaining the whole set step by step.

Some of the artists' whose Masterclasses inspired this template
and a few others... Huge thanks to these talented artists for sharing their thoughts and workflows!
What's in the template?
I have taken the best learnings from studio collaborations and these masterclasses to create an inspiring and very fast workflow. As a trained sound engineer I have included my 20+ years mixing experience. The template has:
- Pro Workflow for Live and Studio
- A/B Comparison setup for reference tracks
- Slate VSX Monitoring (including capture of how the rooms sound so get your headphones out!)
- and Plugin Alliance ADPTR AB comparison plugin
(both not needed for workflow but super useful!)
Does it really work?
The template is setup to immediately start producing tracks knowing the starting point will always sounds great compared to commercially released tracks. Since using this workflow I am releasing a track every week, (next to family responsibilities and a full time job!). They're up on my SoundCloud if you would like to have a listen.
Why are you sharing this?
I want to share this workflow, because I had become quite frustrated making tracks in a time consuming and analytical way. I have seen many friends stuck creating music like this also.... Making music had started to feel like work and was sometimes uninspiring. It would often took me weeks to complete a track and these ended up sounding "overproduced". Sound familiar? Music should be fun but when you are starting out, there are often too many technical variables that can take you away from your musical ideas and inspiration.
About me
I have been making music for close to 20 years and my 15 minutes of fame are playing my live set at Fusion and a 1 hour mix of my down-tempo tracks hitting 4.7 million views on YouTube. I am a trained sound engineer and worked professionally as a DJ, musician and studio engineer and was a product specialist for Waldorf, SPL, AVID, SSL, Avalon, Softube, Slate, Strymon and other MI manufacturers. These days I work as an IT consultant but love hanging out in the studio and I still release music regularly. I am signed to SINE Music.
