Ableton Tutorial: Making a Blend/Mash-Up:: Part 1 of 2

[kozak0085]

I've got Live 8 and cannot drag my warp markers around like you. Any idea where this setting is? Basically I can place the warp markers but once they are place I cannot do fine adjustments...? I'm on a PC, not a MAC, any help would be appreciated!

[JoshuaCasper22]

@kozak0085 hey, the reason its different is that I was using ableton 7 here. Ableton 8 has a different warp function. search for "warping ableton 8" here on youtube for some other videos on that technique.

[unicornicopia10]

Your videos really helped me understand warping, thanks. I was always really confused.

[RaheemdaplayaO4]

i don't know what the original bpm of the acapella I'm using is because when i hooked it up to the instrumental I was using it was a slightly different tempo :S do I just leave it to Ableton's guess?

[johansked]

if you have traktor ean golden has a good tutorial on finding the tempo for a acapella. Youtube don't allow me to post the direct link. But search for "ean golden acapella beat match" or something like that.

[RaheemdaplayaO4]

@johansked That search only comes up with FL Studio video tutorials :s

[TheLiquidDubstep]

@RaheemdaplayaO4 try using the tap feature to find the tempo, I find if you have good ear you can usually get it within a point or two

[RaheemdaplayaO4]

@TheLiquidDubstep Yeah 3 months later I've pretty much sussed it out :) haha

[NsGymdude]

WTF

[danscheer]

Is there anybody who could uploud the sourcefiles?

[DJLUKAPERIZ95]

Ableton 8?

[ginty019]

nevermind, you didn't even touch on equalizing

[ginty019]

can you help for songs that dont have accapellas please

[AUDIOMUNKY1]

so if you phase these tracks...you should have a clean instrumental too...

[tihi357]

ableton is nice

[alexcampo305]

can mute a singers voice but keep the beat still playing in ableton?

[danscheer]

It looks like your acapelle stands on "beats", it's underneath the "warp" button.

Pick one like "complex" or one of your own choice, you will see it sounds better

[Robot10010001]

[JoshuaCasper22]

@MubangaDNB yes it is...sorry about that... i do not have the source files any more either, plus i am locked out of my site... soooo, try to see if a subscriber of mine can get you the files, or try to do the same techniques with other files....

[AmandaGrace337]

thank you :)

[rcthatsme]

Where do you typically find your instrumentals? Google doesn't seem to be helping - do you remove the vocals yourself? Thanks

[dapaintballer3311]

@rcthatsme youtube works for popular mainstream songs

[jajamaarten]

What are the songs you are using, sorry but i cant understand i verry well.

Great tutorial, keep it up.

[JoshuaCasper22]

@jajamaarten just download the source files to find out!! but, its give it up - shakira ft lil wayne and timberland acapella and the movie star riddim instrumental!
