In this case, we’re building a gate effect in Ableton Live. Taking a pad sound as source, we are routing the signal into a second audio track (instead of routing it to the master channel). That second audio track plays a "dummy" audio clip - an empty audio file basically. But this dummy audio clip contains the relevant track volume modulation. We can create several of those "dummy" audio clips and draw in different types of volume modulations (e.g.: 16ths, 8ths, etc). That way we can easily switch between different ideas and concepts and speed up the creative workflow.     ...

Several people asked us to do a remake for the style of „Odesza“. So we listened to a couple of their tracks and remixes (like: Sia - Big Girls Cry (ODESZA Remix), Hayden James - Something About You (ODESZA Remix), ZHU - Faded (ODESZA Remix), Slow Magic - Waited 4 U (ODESZA Remix) and ODESZA - Say My Name (feat.
