Ableton - Free Glitch Baseline Tutorial (Part 2)

[eternalvapor]

that's cool - I am going to try to the same thing with a moving chain selector with many bass instrument variations in a rack

[freesoulvw]

Follow action? Maybe..

[johnnyhanx]

Love the vids. This seems old, do you still use this technique?

[riseup20twelve]

@cosmcosm you're a wizard Tom. As soon as i can i will join your clan of learners. Peace :)

[mortenrobinson]

Slap the cat round the face, to teach it a lesson ;)

[Mikeypod]

great videos!

please don't breed more kittens, there are already so many homeless ones!

[piggemz]

i believe you've spelled bassline incorrectly

[you08tube08]

hört sich total doof an

[ElluzeoniX]

this is such a waste of time . Instrument racks + chain selector + distribute ranges equally : I'de be done in 2 minutes. Ur a great producer but this is seriously the wrong way to do this :/

[MIZZOxD]

@ElluzeoniX You're replying to a 3 year-old video...back when cosm was using ableton 6.......

[hflat1]

@ElluzeoniX Could you please make a tutorial or explain how you'd do it? I'd be interested :)

[StrictClubBouncer]

@ElluzeoniX how would you do that?

[mrcrud5]

ha I hear a cat meowing at 6:17

[DJMarkyMaz]

Tom, you are the best teacher I have ever had and I have an honours university degree. Thank you so much for your videos and please don't ever stop making them. The way you narrate them is fast, funny, informative, and easy to follow. I will be releasing my first set of tracks this year and I will mention you in the special thanks section.

You rule man.

PS if I could make a request for some mixdown mastering/equalization/compres­sion of a finished song that would be a sweet vid! Thanks!

[neveronyx]

@DJMarkyMaz go fucking marry him then

[albyanez7]

@neveronyx why dont u toss ur salad elsewhere and let ppl with positive comments talk. douche.

[be4live]

Great tutorial, manny thx:) Keep the good work!

[Tasbo1982]

Awesome idea, wasnt sure where you were going with this till 6:00 !!! - quality mate. 

[WisdomInHeresy]

time lol

[djstolenface]

is that your cat crying in the background? i kept turnin round thinkin it was mine

[MrWrof]

I think it would've been quicker to divide the original clips matching the length of the original midi notes. Then deactivate all clips, maybe duplicate them. And then just activate the desired clips through the loop.

[grizbazzen]

heheh did u get any kittys from the cat?? BTW COOL Tutorial.. :=)

[ob5cene]

hahaha lol at the un-spayed cat. great techniques man, thanks.

[DJCosmicRift]

awesome tutorial. lol on the cat haha.

[pauleypauleypauley]

dude the cat story is TMI

[smintin]

I love cats and Ableton equally!

[PLAGUEDOFFICIAL]

Is ableton free? please reply

[StonedGuerilla]

@PLAGUEDOFFICIAL nope

[lucadepu]

@PLAGUEDOFFICIAL you wish

[pauleypauleypauley]

@PLAGUEDOFFICIAL kind of, i got a "lite" copy for free with the MAudio keyboard. you can always try torrents too...

[comemisscoma]

@pauleypauleypauley how are you liking your keyboard? ive got two maudio keyboards (keystation 88 and the axiom 49) i love them both!

[pauleypauleypauley]

@comemisscoma hardware-wise, i love it. my problem right now is that my computer is garbage, so the keys have a bad lag so it makes live recording almost impossible. but the compact size and versatility of the thing are awesome. it has a lot of potential, but i mainly use it to control automations and knobs in fruity loops.i can't wait to get a new computer i'm gonna pimp it out specifically for making music and get some monitors

[comemisscoma]

@pauleypauleypauley haha that's how we all start out! have you tried changing the audio preferences btw? i thought you could reduce the latency by tweaking the settings under the Audio tab

[pauleypauleypauley]

@comemisscoma honestly i wouldn't know what to change exactly, any tips and tricks would be REALLY appreciated.

[comemisscoma]

@pauleypauleypauley well, under the audio preferences tab it shows your 'Overall Latency' ideally this should be around 10-20 ms, you could change this by changing the In/Out Sample Rate, Output Buffer Size (don't bother with the Drive Error Compensation, this is just for audio interfaces that report incorrect latencies) and the Input Buffer Size. you just have to play around with these things to make sure your overall latency is as low as possible

[Msv87]

hey man do I get those drum downloads? from 8:41...

[deejaysoulution]

great work

[junevortex]

Good stuff ,

[slytown]

Great tutorial.

We took a cat from our neighbors after they kicked it out. It hadn't been neutered and or declawed. I wanted to kill that thing cuz it peed everywhere and tore everything up. We ended up kicking him out too.

[jonnypetes]

@slytown This is the first comment I read. Awesome :P

[nutrinoland]

hey...you could also morph between settings....like Alchemy has...i think ableton has a morph plugin too...so u could setup the synth one way, then for the next morph preset set up the synth another way...and do this 6 or 8 times...then just switch between the morph presets smoothly with an XY controller sort of interface....so u can actually be between two preset positions....

anyway...sounds nice....

[lucadepu]

@nutrinoland no morph

[80elelectrom]

nice lil tutorial.... i very like the kitten´s part!! =)

[mmiimmiikk]

"yea that sounds bloody awful"

haha xD

[jamblespoo]

i know one way you can stop your cat being horny but you're not gonna like it.,

[MaRsdrums]

if you draw an automation for the osc of the synth and then insert a step sequencer you will save up to 20 min and you will still be able to change the midi track or any other parameter....if you resample a track and you don't like it you must come back and do it again...i think it's just a waste of time!

[MaRsdrums]

what about a simple step sequencer??

[assdrew]

if you've got more than 1 track you want to route to a single track, you don't need to go through them al individually. Just select them all and then do the routing 4for one and all of them will change. Bit of a time saver

[MikeHuntU8]

Wouldn't it be easier to do this in session view, set loop points (and legato in the clip launch setting) for each clip on the wanted part of the bassline and then trigger and record it? Then you could at least play around and hear what works..Right?

[bettlar]

wow this is realllly complicated, what if you decide at some point that you want a change in the meiody? the hassle with the recording will start all over again.. intresting and i didn know the thing with the audio track as a 'direct' way of exporting but not convenient for me

[emute]

nice tutorial, lol about the cat :D

[farhad888166]

wats da serial number anyone?

[P0cketfull0fsunshine]

Nice technique, I'm stealing it!

[erupshaun]

LOL cat

[ACSLATER92]

hey also, where did u get that drum sample you used at the end??

[ACSLATER92]

i just found out how sebastiAn makes his music

[MikeHall683]

hahaha @ the cat... cool tutorial

[Jordan0078]

Totally!

Q-tip in the butt!

[keeflerelf]

a Q-tip will fix the horny cat

[Musiccalculater]

Noyce ! .

[mixmasterspoonnose]

ha, was gonna ask how you get the auto zoom mouse tracker thingy going then you answered right after "hope your not getting bored" thanks

[djbassmint]

I joined Tom Cosm's web site 3 weeks ago and I swear it changed my life. I promise I've wasted about 500 dollars on bullshit tutorial videos. This guy is the real deal and most of it is for free. TomCosm U the Man!!!!!!!

[funkmonkey06]

horny cats hahahahahah

[electronicshaman]

great work dude! You can get plugs that do this sort of stuff but it's always interesting to see other people's work methods. It's about being creative, regardless of the tools you use :)

any mac users looking for a glitchdb style plugin should check out effectrix.

[HansHackfresse]

why dont you do that via racks and envelope automation? that way you wouldnt need plenty of audiotracks.

[DjRipak]

hi nice work but why don't you use the glitch vst its free and really good so you don't need all the hard work :-)

peace Dezent Paul

[Appleye]

its only for windows..

[cotdagoo]

then you don't have your own sound.. when there's programs that'll write your music for you - are you switching to them because it'll be easier? do you learn anything about production from using a glitch vst that does all the work?

[salanami]

Pretty impressing.

[souldoutdj]

THank you Tom....Very creative.! Jroc

[djbassmint]

great tutorial!!!!!

[DjNemes1s]

Lol, 'Get off me cat!!" followed by discussion on horny cats...hahaha

Great vid Tom, very creative, I also learnt something about the flexibility of Ableton's record functionality which was cool.

Thanks! :)
