52 Cues - A Production Music and Sync Podcast
Expanding Creativity Using Ableton Live with Christina Horn
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
On today’s show, I welcome composer, educator, and certified Ableton Live guru, Christina Horn, who talks about how she uses the non-linear and expansive capabilities of Live to unlock her creativity, and how she relishes in breaking through stereotypes.
Plus in my Year of Taxi update, we check in on any returns or forwards and take a listen to this week’s submission which is an epic orchestral hip-hop cue, and I give my thoughts a hybrid action trailer cue written by 52 Cues Community Member, Marc Alan.
