I especially like Section 4. As far as editing clips, I don't think it's any secret that Ableton Live is my favorite software. Although, as an instructor I use lots of other tools including Pro Tools, Audacity, MaxMSP to name a few. I always come back to Ableton for producing on a deadline. Once learned the interface lets you fly through tasks like butter. Grant, those sound great. I especially like Section 4.

Question for you, when you record 30 minutes or so of samples how do you quickly make clips out of the stuff you want to post? I find that it takes me forever. Thanks for all you do, this is one of my favorite blogs! Grant I posted some of the similar stuff we did here:

We fed the output back into the input, and recorded it with a mic. then we just tweaked the hell out of the spring, attached stuff to it, that kind of thing. It was absolutely bizarre. I'll see if I can post a clip on my website. We did something close to this with an old Crate amp head that had a spring reverb.
