Ableton Tutorial: How to make turntable FX sounds

[mfsflyer1]

That is pretty cool, sounds real too

[mrnutonemusic]

nice tutorial indeed, but i can't figure how to install your preset, plz help !

[CatesbyDubs]

another good'n!!

[stewboat]

god, you're good!

[MarcioYTchannel]

Nice track

Abletons bought me here >:D

[TheMusicVee]

Forward spin is epic!

[catalyst1588]

Thanks Vespers, im going to use the sample technique in a remix right meow. Pitch envelopes for the win!!!

[DJVespers]

@catalyst1588 Boom! Do it. 

[jeffthefishdotcom]

Do you know about cmd+J? I forget what it's actually called, but instead of clipping out and then cropping the sample, you can just select it, hit ctrl+J, and you're done.

[jeffthefishdotcom]

Consolidate! That's it.

[DJVespers]

@jeffthefishdotcom Consolidating is actually a very different command. Consolidate creates an audio bounce. Cmd+E just splits the clip. This is important as consecutive consolidations with warping on will degrade the quality of your audio. Totally unnecessary. That's why I use cmd+E. Cheers!

this is very dope vespers!!! sounds legit. :) i saw this in a video a while back, check it out, search in youtube "Steinski @ Dubspot :: Learning Ableton Live & APC40 | Hip Hop" and at about 4.00min in, they talk through a cool live style effect using the apc40. no where near as smooth and believable as yours but another take on it for sure. thanks for the knowledge broseph...

[SimonReedDJ1]

Not bad, but you can't emulate a complete stop with this, like turning of the power button on a Technics deck and the vinyl coming to a complete stop?

[DJVespers]

@SimonReedDJ1 Sure you can. With the Sampler technique - to my ears anyways - you can recreate pretty much any turntable sound.

[SimonReedDJ1]

@DJVespers Really, a slow wind down to a complete stop, as if it was the end of the track?

[DJVespers]

@SimonReedDJ1 Yeah, on my Sampler rack you just turn the Time Macro all the way up and use an 8 bar clip and it produces that exact sound. I used to do a bit of turntablism so I'm pretty picky about this stuff and it sounds accurate to me. 

[SimonReedDJ1]

@DJVespers Cool.

[aus10v]

Probably the coolest part about this is the back/front spin but you didnt go over what those knobs are mapped to.. So... whatd you map them to lol...

[eArtrash]

This looks great! I've been trying to achieve that effect using the transpose envelope but this seems a lot more dynamic.

[DJVespers]

@eArtrash Thanks bro! Glad you dig it.

[elevated001]

Great job, by the way! Hope I didn't sound cheap or negative :)

[elevated001]

I want the sampler rack, but $10 is too much in my opinion. I went to your site ready to pay $1 or $2,,,,

[DJVespers]

@elevated001 With respect mate, that wouldn't even cover my hosting costs and credit card transaction fees, let alone my time in developing it. I find it odd that you'd value a production sound design tool like this less than a latte at Starbucks ;)

[MarcioYTchannel]

@DJVespers Isnt wrong to charge for this. But i will not buy it

Good work mate

[joeheavyflow]

Sooooo.... what are the macro knobs mapped to? : P

[DJVespers]

@joeheavyflow Lot's of things. Envelope times, reverse sample, attack slope, Mod OSC parameters, shaper parameters, pitch env amount, peak and start parameters etc.

[Brainbox97]

Awesome. ;)

[MrRjzam]

Great tutorial really enjoyed ! Thing I like most about your tuts are there easy to follow! U've helped me a lot bro many thanks !

[DJVespers]

@MrRjzam Hey hey. Glad you find the tuts easy to understand. Cheers!

[OfficialGunkel]

What shortcut did you use to select the quarter note of audio? It looks like you clicked at the start and moved the selector tool right, this would help speed up things alot so I would be grateful if you could tell me please. :)

[Funkmastabuzz]

@OfficialGunkel All short cuts are in the manual !!!

[OfficialGunkel]

@DJVespers thanks man :)

[DJVespers]

@Funkmastabuzz Indeed they are, but it's nice to share the more effective ones sometimes ;)

[DJVespers]

@OfficialGunkel Just click and drag your mouse to highlight things in yellow :)

[mpusch88]

@OfficialGunkel

shift + direction

or ctrl+shift+direction to grab whole clips at a time

[Ephortless]

Always awsome thanks bro!

[DJVespers]

@Ephortless You're welcome mate. Enjoy!
