Ableton Live 8, Novation Launchpad, Akai LPD 8 Jam

[bystrikadavid]

How did you get some much room for the slots to add other synths/samples? I can only fit about 8. You seem to have allot more. I wish I could allot more other sounds but I don't how. Thanks

[GarrettLD50]

Pardon my french but HOLY SHIT. I love it man. I couldn't help but jam out to this song, I really like it man. I'm on the fence about getting a Launchpad, and I think you just got it sold haha.

[baronsimms]

@pflynnification thanks, i used Sugarbytes Effectrix on the master output channel to get that turntable slow down effect :)

[Leoyizhou]

with something strong like launchpad, is lpd very helpful?

[Starfire854]

cpu power lol

[ItBeReece]

if i have the akai lpd 8, will i be able to record my beats in ableton? and would i be able to use it in FL studio?

[Nerd2k7]

nice :), im new to this but could anyone say me a good site oslt to download good vocals?

[medellinrichie]

may i ask what is the guitar song called? nice jam by the way sick, i didn't like drum n' bass now i do after this jam nice bro God Bless.

[GrouEEf]

what kinda sample pack did you use for this jam?

since the vocals are awesome!

the beat is way too punchy for this kinda liquid dnb, decrease the volume a bit, it makes the mix way much clearer!

besides, what is this awesome bell-like stab that always hits on the first of each bar?

[baronsimms]

@GrouEEf Hi, if i remember correctly the kicks, snares & hi hats were off one of the Vengence House packs which i programmed in to DrumRacks, the bell stab sound was coming from KORE 2 thru a filter lfo and some random breaks i had which i removed the kicks and snares and hi passedf just to add that rollin percussion vibe :)

[GrouEEf]

@baronsimms thx a lot for the answer, can u tell me where u got the vocals from? i´ve heard those a couple of times in liquid productions and i´m adicted to those :D!

[RapeFarmHothead]

@GrouEEf The vocals are from Barrington Levy - Here I Come

[ravingking]

bad ass i like i will subscribe

[gullahgeek]

Quality track. My head was noddin the whole way through.

Ignore the trolls. Focus on the groove.

[baronsimms]

@warchild1976 I just used lives Beat Repeat plugin and made the vocal loop over and over for that section of the song :)

[DJvCitro]

Awesome! Now I'm differently going to buy a LPD8 (:

Did you sampled Simian/Justice - We Are Your Friends?

[baronsimms]

@DJvCitro Thanks, The guitar sample was off one of the Vengence sample packs but the rest are breaks, kicks and snares programmed in Lives Drum Racks. :)

[CybertechProject]

nice video, also the guitar is a little bit offbeat. You might wanna warp it up tighter :)

[baronsimms]

@CybertechProject hahaha, yeah your right Cyber, it was just a quick beat i made to show the Launchpad in action, :)

[djnassiftechno]

nice kick!!! HQ perfect kick.....

[OcelottMaster]

I wish i could launch so many clips at a time...

[ShaulMusic]

hey dope video Baron. I just do production with ableton, but for years wanted to start doing live shows/mashups. great inspiration. since i cant afford a monome 40h ill cop the launchpad. so what is it that u like about logic more than live? i flip flop b/w the two but really focused in completing the whole mix b4 mastering now in live. u?

[baronsimms]

@ShaulMusic Ableton & Logic are 2 seperate beasts. I Luv the fact that you can jam and get down ideas so quickly in Ableton. If i make any ideas and want to take them further then i import my stems into Logic. As much as i luv Ableton the sound engine is not as solid as Logics. Ive heard all the stuff about turn warping off, its how you master & blah blah blah but an identical kick imported into Logic or Cubase (and i hate Cubase) has clearer transient detail than in Live.

[Zkrudriverz]

wassap wit yo live?

[H4NDCRAFTED]

Nice work, just upgraded to abs 8 was on 6 after getting to know LOgic for a while.

Apple have retarded customer service so selling my apple and back to a PC.

Was using imovie for most of my vids, what video capture r u using, I won't to be be able to insert a movie within a movie like you have done, I could do this in imovie and also reverse the movies so the main movie has opacity, can you do this in whatever your using ?

Love the track!

[baronsimms]

Hi, I used Camtasia Studio 6 to shoot this vid, its powerfull and well easy to use. Ableton 8 rocks and was my 1st love but i do love Logic Studio so much now im certified Level 1, Doing my 301 exam next week, havent had any trouble with apple customer service and im not a fanboy or anything but so far they have been great :)

[sapience7]

sickkkk

[ELEMIDI]

im loving this track, makes me want to smoke a doobie.

[paralelSun]

just ignore that dood baron!

hes just a kid... take no notice... this is the internet

[tahetl]

Excellent man :) great display of the potential of the launchpad! Just got mine, and still just getting my head around it haha

[Jimmybuddha]

could you do dubstep mix?

i just got the launchpad like a week ago, and im still figuring it out.

Great tune btw

[baronsimms]

You could do whatever type of mix you want in Ableton. Thats the beauty of it. This was a quick demo to show what type of control the launchpad gives you on your own productions or your mix sets.

[remixx1977]

Really feeling this tune bro. Love the way you got the vocals delaying in parts and the rhode sounds and guitars are sweet. I am thinking of investing in a launch pad, ive got ableton 5 but i dunno if the pad will work with it as its much older version. Keep up the good work though mate. Anywhere i can buy this tune from you ? , many thanks , J :)

[baronsimms]

well put ya money where ya mouth is and show me how its done you lil wigga!! Jumpin up and down infront of your lil shitty samson montiors listening to drum and bass doing the wicked pointy shake with your hands isnt wigga behaviour or is it just chav??? Its so easy to tell people they are shit when you got fuck all to show for what you have done. Stop wasting ya mums broadband and go find some other cunt to harrases. Stalking me like this is definately making me feel special lol :)

[andrew0596]

cool man, i got it sorted! :) thanks for the help... p.s i like your styke man. Fuk all these haters! They're jealous.

[andrew0596]

hey man... just a quick question... do u have the potentiometers (knobs) working with live on the LPD 8?

[baronsimms]

yeah everything works fine, just make sure the inputs and the outputs are set to ON in Lives Preferences menu and when you midi map your good to go!! :)

[boldswede]

would allways fancy one of these live. wpuld give a new angle to any "dance" music rather than turn tables....can you load your own samples? you'res arnt great to be honest :)

[baronsimms]

@boldswede After listening to your lame arse track you PRODUCED (lol) in Reason I`d take my samples anyday. Stick to making what your good bruv, (Fart Videos)

:)

[boldswede]

lol, at least i made all my own sounds using synths and not just arange smaples in a certain order. Stick to what you're good at - making SHITE tunes.

[baronsimms]

the only samples in this track was the vocal, guitar and fx sweep, the rest were kicks, snares, rides programmed in drum racks!! the basslines came from N.I Kore VST, at least my shite tunes are played worldwide on Fusion, Spectrum, Jungletrain, 1xtra electro east and Bassdrive to name a few!! Didnt see you name playlisted on any stations when i googled your name lol. Keep doin what your doing bruv which is being a nobody!! :)

[boldswede]

hahahah never heard of you. By the way you look like some bolding roid'd twat and your tunes suck cock. There's all ready one Baron in the DnB industry and there's no room for any more so fuck off.

[baronsimms]

touch a nerve did i nomark lol!! ahh well, keep making ya imaginary tunes, im sure your hardrive appreciates them!! As 4 me being roided, im not the one asking dumb questions on ARM-WORKOUTS DOTCOM hahaha!! 4 someone who supposedly MAKES their beats but is pressuring up Tremors to find out how to sync LOOPS of different tempos you sure are one dumb cunt!!! Read the manual Retard!! That goes for Automation on the Wobble Vid as well!! Baron is my real name num nuts, not a stage name!! Sukyamum

[boldswede]

lol you're such a douche, and no i still havent heard of you.... Yeah i never said i was a pro and yes i do ask questions to learn more about music production, I also like to keep fit and ask people questions about that also. And Baron isnt even a name, you're mum must be a stupid black bitch.

[baronsimms]

@boldswede if your not a pro then shut the fuck up and dont give it the jimmy big bollox on my vid implying i used loops to make my beats only!! Think i give a fuck if some nomark retard like you has heard of me?? Go play with your little fisher price bizness you call a studio, my fucking cables alone cost more than your setup bitch, i see you chatting shit on other mans video as well you wastenman. Uploading fart videos says it all about the way you was raised you inbred cunt, jog on. :)

[boldswede]

hahaha i just asked if you could load samples into it becuase yours are shit. Then you go through all my fav vids etc and make insults becuase of my constructive criticism- which you obviously can't take and got offended by. Maybe thats the reason why you're unsuccessful? great, you have a better setup than me. who cares? oh and i love your frizzy hair in that maples leafs top! hahahaha you look like a rotten pineapple! x

[baronsimms]

1)saying my samples arent great and not explaining why is not CONSTRUCTIVE criticism just as saying these speakers are small but fooking loud is not a CONSTRUCTIVE review of the samson monitiors.

2) Implying my beats are loops and are not programmed without knowing the facts is obnoxious.

3) You 1st made personal insults to me when i made you aware that you have nothing to backup your comments to show me why my tunes suck cock. My tunes are on JUNO,ITUNES,BEATS DIGITAL,CHEMICAL to name a few

[boldswede]

great, you're signed to some half arsed shit record label, getting your songs on itunes etc is not hard. ho0w much money do you make of your music? not much i bet. And by the way Baron is a title. It's like calling a child "Mr". Samples are shit, use new ones. Constructive, there.

[baronsimms]

if you count this as being unsuccessfull than i would rather be im my position than you. THe fact you have to attack the way i look now shows your an idiot who lacks attention at home. Plz let me assure you i am far from OFFENDED from your comments but mererly amused by such ignorant stupidity from a nomark like yourself who has to throw personal insults at me like a CHIEF instead of saying something constructive as Barons not a real name hahaha!!

[boldswede]

another thing, stop trying to make out like you're some one special becuase you're not. you're just a fat bloke with a silly hair cut.

[baronsimms]

@boldswede NOT once have i ever said i am anything special, im not the little prick that leaves useless comments on peoples videos and yet have fuck all to show how it should be done. What the fuck have you done which is so great apart shoot your mouth off about how im shit yet NOBODY knows who the fuck you are?? Wheres your tunes?? Wheres your work??  hahahaha!! Learn to READ you window licking cunt. I never said i was anyhthnig special but ive achieved a shitload more than you standard

[boldswede]

as i said before, i'm not a professional musician. I've got some tunes, but havent uploaded them on here. "...than you standard" what is that suppose to mean? is that some black street talk?.....

[strikefirstt]

HAHA dude you are hilarious retarded. Loading vocal samples or guitar samples is pretty normal if you don't can't make them your own. That's why they make SAMPLEPACKS FOR!!!!! at least they don't sound shit like yours do

Great tune baronsimms!

[baronsimms]

my point exactly, cheers SF :)

[Phobia017]

strikefirstt, your vids are gre- oh wait. You don't have any. Shut up.

[strikefirstt]

better none, and wait till i think they are good then shitty ones, sorry.

[NateDawg80126]

Damn this is good, really looking forward to learning how to do this.

[MrCorbinG]

this shit is badass! keep up the good work man!

[bean5626]

wow this is great!

[JAK3ST3RB]

[geoniki1]
