INGREDIENTS

• 1.37 kgs Apple MacBook Pro 13 inch

• 90 days Ableton Live Trial

• 3:48 mins Tom Misch 'I Wish'

• 95 bars Claude Debussy 'Reflets dans l'eau'

• 1 access to https://learningmusic.ableton.com/make-beats/play-with-beats.html

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Sequence some kicks, claps, and closed hi-hats on https://learningmusic.ableton.com/make-beats/play-with-beats.html and export to Live.

2. Cut 'I Wish' into several smaller segments in whatever shapes and lengths you prefer, some from the vocal chorus and some from the instrumental parts. Repeat the process with 'Reflets dans l'eau'. Include mostly chord and arpeggios; those make a great contrast to the Tom Misch song and the beat you've prepared.

3. Import tracks into Ableton Live Trial. Using the Live session or arrangement view to mashup your tracks. You will need to transpose your tracks to be in the same key (2 steps for 'I Wish' and 5 steps for 'Reflets dans l'eau'). Be liberal with the mashing! Arrange those tracks however you see fit! Cut up some of your tracks into even smaller segments to add some variety to your mashup.

4. Mix your tracks using the inbuilt filters and ADSR envelopes. Adding some volume automation, or panning to your tracks gives an extra spicy layer to song.

5. Check the seasoning, and once you're happy with your creation, save, export, and upload to SoundCloud. Best served hot
