I’ve been running more of my productions out of Ableton and through guitar pedals lately.

Not because plugins aren’t good — but because I’m craving tactile control, friction and a bit of unpredictability again. Turning real knobs. Making decisions in the moment. Committing to sounds instead of endlessly refining them.

In this video I show exactly how I route audio out of Ableton, into pedals, and back into the session — and why that small shift has changed how I finish tracks.

I use several pedals from Chase Bliss in my studio:
