Carl Cox

Carl Cox talking about why Ableton is his DAW of choice for producing:

"I’m making music on the move - I'm on the move all the time, as you can imagine. So I’m using Ableton Live to basically make music when I’m sat on a plane, or wherever, really. I’ll be sat in a hotel room on my own and have these little ideas in my head. Ableton gives me that freedom to make music when the mood takes me. It’s definitely the program to use, because you can create basslines and chord structures, just from the QWERTY keys."

"So, for me, that is quite cool as you don't need an external keyboard to play synths and that. A high-powered Apple Mac computer and Ableton Live is a match made in heaven for me. I just put the headphones in and rock the house."

On the Loopmasters page for "Carl Cox Collective - My Life In Music," Carl Cox is noted for using Apple Logic Pro in creating his techno sounds and samples.

Carl Cox finishes his productions using Pro Tools. He says, "Yeah, the writing studio in Australia. That’s where I can up the ante and bounce everything down into a Pro Tools system. With Pro Tools I’m able to use some really emotive plug-ins and really bolster the sound into a concept."
