Using Analog in Ableton
- Slightly wonky and out of tune instrument if you desire
- Tried to create Stranger Things music in Ableton using presets and Analog, found it quite difficult but in the end got something similar to the actual original
- It was difficult to try and find the same tone, pitch and feel of the original piece, analog does has the capabilities to create that retro sounding 70s music
