Imagine that you could talk to your DAW. No longer hampered by the movement of a keyboard and mouse, you’re able to load plugins, tweak parameters and adjust levels using nothing more than your own voice.
Now imagine that the DAW could talk back – not only telling you what it’s doing, but answering questions about your project and offering technical and compositional advice like a friendly, knowledgeable assistant. This might sound like a sci-fi music production fever dream, but what we’ve described is the concept behind Melosurf, an experimental Max for Live device that allows Ableton Live users to control the DAW with their voice alone.
