Sequencing a song in Ableton Live

[thephaseshifter]

heee megaman game song... nice mdi rip

[joerush25]

so how did you make it automatically go to the next track? Is it possible to go upwards a track also instead of down?

[Corporatist]

@joerush25 I used ableton myself and I can tell you, yes. These are called launch options, they are accessed by double clicking a clip and they are set on a clip-by-clip basis. You can randomize, make follow patterns, and at almost any interval too. Just look up ableton live launch actions or launch options

[urmumsbaps]

you play this live? you could get a bit more creative than just a beat repeat and a filter for a live performance...

[brianbotkiller]

@urmumsbaps I run two hardware synths and do live vocals on all my songs. I'm not doing anymore with ableton, I'm doing enough as it is, thanks.

[ridonkulous192]

Regardless of being a Mega Man 3 cover, it is still awesome. Good job!

[brianbotkiller]

@ridonkulous192 not a cover, but thanks.

[aliencall]

on the fly:)

why sampling from 505? you can use midi 4 control in any part this machine

[brianbotkiller]

@aliencall because the 505 is a POS and died a long time ago. Also because I run two hardware synths and live vocals - which you don't hear here, but can on other versions of this song.

[Thatsthebadger1]

ableton could be considerd the most rounded

[hartistry1957]

This is an excellent Lay-person app. I use it often. Now, back to Pro Tools.

[bwscotch]

Yes, please take me back in time with you! I very much miss using protools!

[youri214]

it sounds like mario ;p on the begin

[BadYahweh]

You might want to give credit where it's due... This is basically a cover of Mega Man 3 theme, not an original song.

[brianbotkiller]

@BadYahweh what about anything after the first MINUTE is a cover? I say clearly that the intro is mega man III, thanks.

[brianbotkiller]

@BadYahweh no, it's not a cover. the INTRO is a sample of the mega man III theme - something I said clearly in the description of the video.

[alexxxko]

interesting. but you have to work more on it. in some parts the violins do not work so great with the rest of the track.

[brianbotkiller]

@alexxxko too late, thanks. I don't spend forever tweaking songs anymore. I write them to my liking, record and release them, and move on.

[rickytomato]

HeyNow! That's So Awesome! Love Your Music Video! (5)Stars !*****

[FailedToDie]

That was cool.

ftd.

[fermixx]

i like how the song starts. that sounds makes me remember the old pokemon yellow from nintendo gameboy!!

[protomark]

that would be the megaman 3 theme, sir.

[brianbotkiller]

@protomark right - which I say clearly in the video's description.



[brianbotkiller]

@fermixx I love video game music. I daresay it's some of my favorite music of all time, which is why I used the mega man III theme as an intro :)

[fermixx]

@brianbotkiller duuude, that comment was 2 years ago. welcome back :P

Have you been in jail or smt?

[brianbotkiller]

@fermixx heh, no, just SUPER busy. Released my CD with this song on it, actually, so been working on that.

[alphawolf260]

I really like this song.

Ableton's interface always has confused me, even though I heard its supposed to be easy to use. I guess Logic has corrupted me.

[junmr2]

lol is logic better?

[ElHypno2007]

Some things yes and some things no.

[jeffie4377]

I love this song. I wish you could have played this tonight.

[Tripl3ToneStudios]

nice one!
