Vespers remixing Lady Gaga in Ableton Live, tutorial video 1

[saucypeanuts]

you deserve to be famous as you are a god with ableton! but i dont want you to be famous because you wont have enough time to make awesome tutorials. :D

[an0vachiptune]

"If my ability as a music producer relied on knowing a couple of trade secrets, I wouldn't really be much of a music producer."

Very poetic words of wisdom and you have a very admirable philosophy on teaching. You are an inspiration, Vespers!

[UnicornPow3r]

What kind of speakers do you have next to your monitors? Looks like they got some 'oomph'..!

[AUDIOMUNKY1]

love you theme tune...nice nice

[almahardcore]

Hi, I have a question, hope u can help: I have a big problem with the latency with Ableton and the Axiom61. I play piano mainly and use the Axiom to trigger some backup tracks and samples, butI can't get the piano sound on time, it's always delayed =( Thanks...

[qasion]

ANybody who can help? I have Ableton 7 and I installed Nexus 2 vts. I have M-audio Axiom pro. When I open the program ( Ableton) and load a patch from Nexus,,I try to play some notes,,I can see that ableton is getting the Midi messages from my midi keyboard but I have no sound whatsoever. I checked the Audio out in ableton Audio preferences tap and it's set correctly to my Digi firwire 002.

triple w? never heard that before lol

[Chasela511]

Are you in a wheelchair? Random, I know. But I'm very curious...:X

[petrybadger]

thanks for the vids! keep it up man



[theDan91]

i realize this might be a little much to ask, but you might consider putting one of your tracks up for download, not as an mp3 but as an ableton live project, that way people could download it and open it up and take their time closely examining each aspect of the track and learning that way

[DJVespers]

@theDan91 For sure mate. I agree, that's the best way to learn. I'll be putting templates of many of my tracks up on my new site. They'll be a paid product. Seeing as none of us make money from our music anymore, there are limits to what musicians can give for free. If you'd like a copy of the template, let me know.

[theDan91]

@DJVespers makes complete sense. i'll keep an eye out for postings then. thanks again for all the help. all of us trying to learn the basics surely appreciate it

[emoboi86]

Looks like this track isn't up anymore :(

[DJVespers]

@emoboi86 It'll be up again soon mate! Just doing some web upgrades.

[jackatejill]

ur a life save and a time saver. thanks so much for taking the time to do this . automaticly sub'd

[DJVespers]

@jackatejill Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for the sub! Keep in touch. 

[Jaytecktonik808]

Awesome Track !! :D

And My Request Is Youuu To Remix SCARY MONSTERS NICE SPIRTES (:

[DJVespers]

@Jaytecktonik808 Ooooh, that's a tall order. It's so good to start with I dunno if I'd mess with it ;)

[lsdsexmetal6]

Fantastic man!

Really appreciate all of the work and assistance you are providing for us up and comers. It's worth it's weight in gold!

Cheers!

[DJVespers]

@lsdsexmetal6 You're very welcome. Thanks for watching!

[Sharin2]

You're a great Open Source Producer :) That's the best future for music, Thanks a lot

[DeanKennyMusic]

great idea, i am the same, love seeing how the pros do it, best way to learn

[codyrap95]

woow i love your intro can you make a tutorial on that ? (video and audio)

[awkwardtom]

thanks from me to you for the very informative, & INTERESTING ! tutorials most of all "remixing Gaga in Ableton Live" - they have been so very useful even for someone who has been producing music for a looong time (Cubase 3.1 on an Atari St !!!!) It makes so much difference when the tutorials are relevant to current styles of production and the track used in the tutorial is a polished piece of music which sounds Phat - thus making the end product something that a user wishes to achieve :) 

[patyxxx]

thanks for taking your time on doing this =).. pretty awesome!

[ivantvaffles]

ARRRRRRRRR THERE.WAS.A. SCRY VOICE TELLING ME ABOUT EMAILS WHEN I WENT ON THE WEBSITE >>creeped.me.out. The mix is awesome though

[zetaborealis]

Thanks a lot mate,

real helpful to see a step by step of how you did all this, especially considering I'm just trying to learn/get my head around ableton.

Really appreciated

[DJVespers]

@zetaborealis Glad to hear you're learning lots. Thanks for watching!

[steveworrellmusic]

tripple w.........

[planetNS]

*intro*

Nice take on the video copilot tutorial for iron man, looks very cool (lots of people use actual tutorials as intros, pisses me off).

And nice tut, helped a lot.

[DJVespers]

@planetNS Glad you dig. Cheers!

@JBandsuns Thanks for watching!

[AnjunaboyJR]

ive just got ableton 7 live and im struggling with the real basics. Where can i get more samples, how do i lay down a good bass line, how do i then make a really great synth? Id like to produce trance and house tunes, but have no idea where to start. The abletone written tutorials arnt helping me at all

[DJVespers]

@AnjunaboyJR Hey mate. Sample: Get them by buying Live Packs or sample CDs online. Basslines & Synths: That's a BIG question. Tough to answer in a comment box. Mainly, make instrument racks by layering synths for phat basses and synths. As for writing music in general, find a producer you like and get them to teach you. Watch lots of tutoirals on Youtube. That'll get ya there. Be patient and put in your time. Cheers!

[Maarttttt]

@AnjunaboyJR Just keep on practicing. It can be frustrating in the beginning but really every minute you spend exploring the program pays off in the end.

[bootr0s]

@AnjunaboyJR READ WORDS AND APPLY THEM lol..

[ellise01]

you got the right idea mate:)

[ne12call]

Nice werk my northern brother from another mother. I really appreciate your attitude and your willingness to teach. I learned the trade from a guy who was willing to show me what he knew and I taught him the limited stuff I knew and now we are rocking clubs doing what we lvoe to do. Knowledge is key, no need to reinvent the wheel every time I lay down a new track.

[DJVespers]

@ne12call Hey mate. Yeah, totally on the same page. Mentorship and exchange of knowledge is the best way to learn IMO. I had a couple of wicked teachers to help me get started and continue to learn from some of the best in the industry. I'm really thankful for having access to these people. Cheers!

[aterrell25]

Thank you for making this available, Vespers. This is great and really helpful to us burgeoning producers. Thanks!

[TechnicsJunkie78]

YESSSSSSSS

Finally someone that realizes, just being shown a finished track from start to finish can be the biggest help you can ever get when first enterting the production scene.

[sendfx]

thats what music is about sharing knowledge and cultural history not guarding it

[badcatbeats]

vespers, you hit the nail on the head, thanks for sharing and teaching, that's what making a better society is all about

[DJVespers]

@badcatbeats No probs mate. Thanks for watching!

[jojo191519]

these vids were great, could you stop using the 20 second intro's they go for way too long and eat up un necisary downloads especially when you use them twice in one video, 40 seconds of VESPERS VESPERS VESPERS vespers Vespers VESPERS VEEEESPERS

[DJVespers]

@jojo191519 Tell you what. I don't mind shortening them up....but I feel this comment is a little on the ungrateful side as this is usually content you have to pay for. Any idea how long it took me to make these videos...for free? If you want to buy my vids, I'd be happy to send them to you with no promo intro and outro.

[jojo191519]

@DJVespers i understand where your coming from and i am grateful just like everyone else who commented below me, hence i started with "these vids were great" cheers for putting in so much time at your own expense. i just didnt see the need to have 40 seconds of "vespers" per video. if you see my point :)

[DJVespers]

@jojo191519 Fair comment. Cheers mate. Will shorten up the intros a bit.

[endy0430]

Yo Vespers thanks for the videos I've learn so much from your videos please keep them coming......Endy

[DJVespers]

@endy0430 Thanks for the comments bro. Keep watching!

[endy0430]

Thank you so is hard to find people like that are willing to teach your technics...keep the videos coming....

[DJVespers]

@endy0430 Awesome. Thanks for the comment!

[drakem20]

hi there. what a great piece of work. Im long Nuendo user trying to get my head around Live and electronic music. Thanks!!

[tylerblue1984]

Fantastic. Cheers mate.

[twtyler]

Can't say thanks enough for being so open to sharing your knowledge with the community...it's very much appreciated. Hopefully I can learn enough to one day be able to pay it forward!

[VstCafe]

amazing track and amazing tutorial :)

[DjAdam16]

Hey bro, thank you very much for this video! Seems you are from Canada as well. Nobody here in Toronto seems to be much interested in the Electronic scene! do you live in toronto?

Peace..

[DJVespers]

@DjAdam16 Hey bro, thanks for watching and commenting. I'm from Vancouver, BC. Go Canadians!

[nikkm58]

Too much intro, just get on with it we dot need a life history

[DJVespers]

@nikkm58 Thanks for your feedback. Let me explain...normally you'd have to pay for complete HD content like this, but I kept it free for you. I do that so I can also build awareness about myself and my music. Fair trade? I think so. I'd be happy to sell you downloads without any of the intro...but I expect you'd prefer free ;)

[ScreamingElderly]

@DJVespers well said

[DjAdam16]

@nikkm58 People like you should jump off a cliff..........if you don't like it then just dont watch it or better yet, do better! Enough said..

[macfan30]

great video go on!

[studogbignose3]

Nice one, looking forward to it.

[Phonobrain]

Thank you sooo much ! i m "producing " too and im always thankful for people who really want to share their knowledge. and i mean really share ! many of those others hardly try too keep things secret while showing their aragements and stuff ... or telling some "bla bla mixing techniques" wich do not help anyway..so tahnks and big ups for you ! keep on doing this im looking forward too learn MORE from you . would love to read some kritics from you according my lil track on my channel! cheers !

[du2xmedia]

[GTMusical]
