FEATURED REVIEW
Ableton Live 12
Mind Meld, Roar and More!
It’s that time again. Ableton is back at it with the announcement of Live 12. At the time of this review, I have spent a few months exploring and creating with an all-but-finalized pre-release, and it’s a doozy. Live 12 further refines some existing functionalities and introduces a few groundbreaking tools that significantly elevate the music-making experience.

Artist Name: StoreyTunes Title: What’s the Matter (With Me) Genre: Pop/Psychedelic
“What’s The Matter (With Me)” is a poppy, psychedelic tune by StoreyTunes. The song’s vibe is reminiscent of some of the late-era Beatles or Beatles solo recordings, but I’m reminded even more of the music that Jeff Lynne created with the Electric Light Orchestra.
