    Love this! That verse melody reminds me a lot of Death Cab. And it's cool to see your Ableton-Reaper workflow. Your Ableton videos are making me consider actually learning and putting to use that Live Lite license I have.

    Awesome video! :D came for learning on how to improve on my Ableton skills and found out it is actually OK to work between Ableton and Reaper (which I've been doing for a while and felt bad about it xD)

    Question. Why didn't you record the guitars and vocals directly in Ableton? Why you decided to use Reaper to that part of the process?

    Before you replaced the piano with the guitar it sounded like an indie pop song that would’ve been popular in like the late 00’s

    Thanks! I'm use the ridiculously cheap MXL990. I have a few more expensive mics, but for some reason the MXL seems to sound best for my voice.

    ​Thanks for your reply. I’m currently exploring microphones for singing and sampling with a bit more frequency range( I currently use a SM57). I love your channel btw, might dive into Kontakt myself once I have acquired a license.
