Motherbrain Explaining Step by Step Improv Jam in Ableton (featuring a random ringtone)

[littlealex91]

Hey I really appreciated this video, the lead synth you were "jerking off" with was excellent. I am a little curious as to how you set everything up in ableton to get it to fast record like that, easy set up of loops and such. I have a kaosillator and a piano that i would like to be able to quick loop both simultaniously. Do you have any insight on how i could do that? Any feedback would be excellent man and keep "jerking off" that was awesome :)

[electrickabuki]

excellent, nothing else to say.

[CAGEofficial]

[theeggman85]

Wow... this is simply amazing.

[DHarrisChillin]

I love your creativity! That was awesome!

[4guns]

Marc, do you provide private instruction for using Ableton Live? I am having a hard time getting my head around it when using it in a similar manner.

[sabotage1111]

lovely man

what rhodes plug in/vst do you use?

sounds sweet!

[motherbrain2000]

@sabotage1111 :

thanks for the kind word mate.

It's a rhodes sound from the VSTi "Hypersonic" by Steinberg/Wizoo. The plugin is decent while also having low cpu/disk overhead.

[sabotage1111]

@motherbrain2000 thanks ;)

[GadgetAddicted]

Marc, I've watched this video over and over at least 20 times now. It's so inspirational!

I had a huge request for you. May I have the permission of using your music in my Youtube videos? I am a technology reviewer (view my channel) and I believe your music would fly in my videos during the intro, transitions and ending.

Please let me know and especially let me know how and where I can get MP3 versions? Thanks Marc!

[virtualericgear]

Interesting. Now do all the record arming/cueing/triggering, and also build other "base" loops to build up from creating different song "sections" and be able to switch between those built sections and do all but the actual instrument playing from a midi footswitch. That's what I'd like to do & what live should be capable of doing.

[sirloathsome]

Sweet video! I love the annotations as well! Keep it up

[lizardemperor77]

Great tune in no time at all! Any chance you'd share your keyboard template?

[lazab]

M-Audio Keystation 88 es ....good or bad ?????keys?

[sirloathsome]

I have it, I hate the keys! :-)

[dillemabass]

thats so rad! it actually turned a cheesy ringtone into something cool!

[kateluv99]

great ringtone at twitterurl(dot)net/i/kf

[r0kas]

the only thing i don't understand why a loop button on my ableton live don't woks. can someone tell me what exactly i need to do, to make a single loop, please

[4guns]

Excellent. Very Rundgren and very inspiriing.

[rg2027x]

Interesting....Cool jam

[Lastangels]

You Rock!!!

[Cr125rmxr]

wow that was dope. love and respect from chattanooga, keep that up!

[TwistedAperture]

What keyboard is that? (computer keyboard, not musical ;D)

[motherbrain2000]

They Keyboard is a run of the mill microsoft keyboard i picked up at staples for 20 bucks. I then popped the keys of and spay painted them to fit my template. Funny story: I had to buy 2 of these keyboards because the first time I put the spray painted keys in the oven to help them dry/cure and they melted! big duh.

[filipinorice]

that was freaking sick

[WelcomeWedding]

awesome!

[joanata]

very good!

[eklyy]

please what synths did you use,

thanks

[bennidproduction]

how can i hook up my 49e to fl or reason 4? please help. thank you

[IsHeHigh]

consult the manufacturers documentation. It will be very clearly outlined in both the documentation for the keyboard and the programs you have....

[vincevoxbox]

top man

[1ino1eum]

that's inspiring. tkx for the video.

[brainiac102030]

What software do you using??

[djShawnLopes]

looks like ableton live

[sameedShaikh]

hey how do you deal with your recordings starting too early for the loop? I have always had that problem. Also, stopping a loop when you want to play until the note...

I was thinking about a foot pedal, but i don't have the moneyz.

Anyways, kickass job.

[kerodean]

What synths did you use ?

[brainiac102030]

m-audio

[kerodean]

are they the built in sounds?

[siegecow]

effin brilliant

[DarkShroom]

really good :)

also big up to live for being the best program ever

[corp0ration]

[tonvibration]

Impressive!

nice song... even the "jerking off" part ;-) (3:40).

And thanks for the deep look into your music process with all that detailed information.

Very interesting and inspiring!

[JCOsborn]
