Ableton Live: Poor man's groove quantize

[chaoticxiu]

thank you for spamming youtube with your shitty videos

[KATOMATE01]

why not just upgrade...you can do this is 8 so easily

[vasedeny]

why did you consolidate the clip?

[bitbutter]

By selecting a range (eg 2 bars), then consolidating that, you ensure that the clip you're left with is exactly 2 bars long. Its a habit i've gotten into, it can be useful if you want to loop a clip for instance (without it drifting out of time).

[vasedeny]

hmmm... it's a good idea :)

[2manythrills]

Can you define 'real groove quantize support' for me please.

Does the groove pool in ableton 8 class as 'real groove quantize'?

[bitbutter]

Yes. live 8 is a huge improvement in this area.

[2manythrills]

Nice, im just about to buy it thats all.

I think RMX has the best features for groove quantize. I can never quite extract a groove in ableton and apply it to my own patterns with the desired effect. Really annoys me.

[Daftendirekt93]

can someone help me with quantization? my timing is crap...

[GetIntuit]

uh that's a lot of work, the clip was fine to begin with?

[djmikio]

The point was using "the groove" (slightly off count natural sounding rhythm) of one clip as a template to change "the groove" of a separate clip. He got 4/4 robot stomp to sound funky. Not dissimilar to using the "Get User Groove" command on a REX file in Reason. Same level of workaround pain as you have to make the REX file first. ...but until we get real midi cloning like Logic or ACID it's pretty damn slick.....

thanks... great video!!!

What program are you using to capture the screen? Is it following your mouse around automatically=

[cbit]

The screen recording software is called iShowU (for OSX). It includes a mouse follow option.

[greenmanmo]

cool tip. I will have to try that...

[cbit]

thanks :) hope it works out useful for you.
