A video wherein I grumble and groan about a problem in Ableton Live 12, and other things go oddly wrong, I press wrong buttons, and Ableton crashes on me and I have to reboot the PC (at least I wasn't using OBS!). Still, there's fun and some noodling with Arturia Analog Lab synths (including the new MiniBrute V) happens over a couple of strange drones from the PolyBrute and the Take 5\. Come waste an hour-and-a-half with me! It'll be fun!

Next time on the stream, I'll try to do a deconstruction of my newest song. We'll see how *that* goes, since I may have to bring in a different computer to do it. Should be ... interesting.
