Ableton - Free Glitch Baseline Tutorial (Part 3)

[JamesGraysStudio]

i found that helpful... im letting u know haha

[system3error]

Wohooo! Thanks a lot!!! This is very great!

[Hedon11]

Should i then, when i have recorded all those separate and different bass samples into different audio tracks- record all of them to a single audio track? by puttin the outputs of all of those audio tracks to this new one?

[fckcok]

ooohhh sheila!!!! kangaroo!!!!! BBQ!!!!

[phleugh]

Great tutorial, thanks.

[PepinoMM2BR]

YES! THANK YOU!!!

[macklinconley]

teach me how to create filthy music, and ill teach you how to please a cat in heat

[macklinconley]

dude, to be honest this is the only glitch tutorial i sat through! i was doubing youre choice of synth at first but i HOLY HELL! i gotta say you are the man. thank you so fucken much.

[hubcapsl337]

Amazing Tut man, really appreciate it!

[spencergoldman]

great tutorial. i love coming across a tutorial that opens up a massive range of new possibilities for my technique. big up, thanks dude!

[chokai]

Awesome tut as always, always learning something new whenever I watch your vids :)

[djlimits]

Faster why for 'ducking' as in side chaining: See the effect 'Compressor' Max the window, then hit the button 'Sidechain' (will turn yellow) . Select track which you want to be sidechained. For example : 'kick' or ' ghostkick' and voila.

Good tutorial btw :)

[djlimits]

@djlimits faster way* sorry, typo

[banacheque]

truly inspiring stuff man, thanks a lot!

[pretentiouspigeon]

Brilliant ive been coming up with my own ways of glitching different instruments and your method is really great. FIVE STARS!

[DunkleFaust]

Brilliant, really helped my decent bassline into a crazy glitched part of my song. Haha played it at a set and they loved it. Keep pumpin them tuts ouuut!!

[maniacguitar]

amazing mate!! cheers from mexico@!

[Cup2TheCakee]

Good tutorial

[Tasbo1982]

Brilliant work, great idea - glitch software is so crap, even when resampled, but so is cutting up resamples- its effectively the same as glitching. But resampling the same bassline with different fx - STUNNING. Thank you so much. I've wanted to start producing psy for a long time (I do dubstep at the moment) this will be a great start (I know that tutorial wasnt psy, but the technique is simply vast in potential). If you wan't, i'll fuck your cat, that should make her less sexually frustrated.

[djjava303]

cheers, man- this was really helpful. one idea i had with this was after you you record you loops, transfer this to the scene launch with legato turned on for your samples. if you have an interface like a Launchpad, you can trigger between the versions, cutting between the clips on the fly

[MahoganySalmon]

Hey Tom, cheers for the tutorial. Such a good production technique to have in the bag! Thanks for spreading the wealth!

[lifeinneverland]

Hey, thanks for this. Great tutorial & quite fast and to the point. I don't think I would have thought about this little trick. I just got Ableton Live 8 a few months ago and still learning to use it. Btw, what websites do you use to get free plug ins, samples, instruments, FX or whatever???

[Simpo911]

Awesom tutorial man, thanks. Straight away given me so many ideas for experimenting with this. Out of curiosity, why do you keep recording the bassline as new audio clips rather than just duplicating the Original MIDI track and adding the different sounds to the different duplicates?:

[OLOnFlairgun]

@Simpo911

I think he does it because when he records the original midi track into an audio sample, it keeps one consistent sound (with reverb/hum/delay from previous notes) no matter what parts he cuts out.

[Huckeybucks]

NZ FOR THE WIN :D

[mistara1]

It's amazing man, this is how things must happen! You must experiment to make something really nice. You and your mind must control the machine, not let the machine take the creative control.

[feluver]

Thanks for this, Tom!

It's guys like you who allow this type of music to progress... Secret producing methods should be left to pharmacutical companies :b

PS: I am an acoustic guitar player, and I have been combining this with samples of my guitar playing for some really cool effects. Thanks again

[TheChomplin]

Thanks alot!

[SeedfulMusic]

I love you Tom. I want to have your babies.

[Matze23SE]

i laughed my ass of about the cat meeeeeooowww XD

[WisdomInHeresy]

nice tut man

[SiebzehnUndVier]

[luckyjrs]

laughing too much at the top comment XD

great video, learned some things about cats too! lol

[tastelesstouch]

Good video thanks man!

[vidrasara]

thanx my man

[JayBenOh]

One of the MOST USEFUL tutorials i´ve ever seen!

Thanks.

[Esaelectronics]

very usefull ,thanks

[YAS62ftw]

I bet this would sound pretty great (as in release worthy) with a couple more hours of work; neat tutorial, neat track :D

[riseup20twelve]

hello?



[progdandrea]

very nice!! thank you!

[partshome]

Very awesome tutorial! As a relatively new Ableton guy, I really appreciate this.

[Sanyibumbum]

dude....like WOW........i did not know that i can do that in LIVE.......great stuff/great lesson.......10x.......Cheers

[DominickTitoni]

Thank you for the awesome tutorial. I love this deconstructionist approach to producing electronic music. This is really helping me get out of the rut of midi sequencing everything

[kirnakirna]

king cosm



[mcdaer]

i kinda like this approach. it also helps you work on your ableton skills. thanks for the video.

[Quiggers1981]

Great tutorial, as for your cat,,,, your gonna have to go all animal pimp and get her laid.

[Doctargh]

This guy is my new Favourite Producer.

Tom Cosm>Deadmau5

[12gaugeboomers]

great thing about toms tuts is you can go back and watch them again 6months later and syphon little nuggets off..guru

[djeastiano]

Cool ideas dude! I've already used this Method on percussion loops but never thought about basslines! Hope your horny pussy behaves in future!

[gomddrummer]

Love the creative process. To me, this is a part of what being a musician is all about!

Very helpful, and inspiring. Great post, all three parts.

[nakabar]

Ableton has a very organic feel for making music when you start to figure out how it works, a lot of other daws are much more difficult to generate ideas inside of.

[IareDallas]

Gratzi!!

Very helpful. All 3 parts.

[d4maja]

Wicked video set - really opens the mind to creativity. The classic bit when you asked Sky to politely be quiet, lol.

Thanks

[d4maja]

Wicked video set - really opens the mid to creativity

Thanks

[djbrettjames]

Great tutorial. I've been producing for a month and after this tutorial I feel far more advanced! Thanks!

[ramorisk]

also drums with redux after reverb, changing decay and downsample rate

[ramorisk]

thanks for that dude..just used that idea for a dubstep track with different lfo speeds and distortion levels etc oh the endless fun!

peace brother

[AUXiGEN09]

Dude. Awesome. Keep it up.

[djgravitate]

Just watched pt1, pt2 and pt3, very interesting to see what you have done here, thank you very much for making this video, very helpfull!

[flintsteel]

I'm from an "old school" recording background (25+ years), so it's refreshing to see someone break things down into components like this. I think too many people rely on "Glitch" plug-ins without an appreciation/understanding of the long-way round of doing things. If we all use the same plug-ins eventually our music will start to sound the same, so this offers much more experimentation. Thanks Tom.

[gaspardking]

Great tutorial Tom!! Has Sky had her kittens yet???

[B3nownz]

thx for the advice, nice vid btw

cheerz m8

@ballastastronaut lol!

[johnos4321]

great vid

[lliw8]

good stuff mate!

[amazingmerkinman]

Amazing. Proof that i've used Ableton for so many years and yet there is still things about it that i havent even discovered yet

[sukkyatlife]

this makes me want abelton so much!

[thebigkitty]

Amazing! I was looking for some different way to tweak things today, and this will be my tweak du jour. Thanks!

[TheDadsr]

helpful :D

[ginjagaiden]

really liked the video mate.....I'm new to the ableton world and everything sems over whelming , but that video was really interesting, cheers

[hezzzzy]

Hey man. that was rad. good stuff. keep it up.

[twiztidtwiggy]

Man that was amazing! Thanks a lot! I've been looking for something like this!

[BrahamCracker]

awesome

[1eyeI]

Sweep video thanks for sharing though I don't have a SWP8 an I'm running a Mac, I'm sure there are other ways to achieve something very simular.

[bardistass]

very nice techniques

gonna try that out now :)

5*

[bassmassiv]

Yes. A personal and insightful approach of how to make music that belongs to you.

No preset scrolling. If you know how to handle your synths and your sequencer you´ll get your own music.

There´s no easy way of making things personal. If you want to sound like rob papen or ni or other preset providers you won´t have fun watching this

Hopefully some preset scrollers and loopypoopies watch this tutorial up to this last episode. Music will be more personal and thus better.

Thanks

der Ivo

[Oxenpar]

Thanks!

[codz30]

i nearly cired when you said

"shut up sky, for fucks sake"

[flakes57]

Just lettin' you know that I found it extremely helpfull!!! Cheers!!

[fudgsikle]

Wow! Such a helpful vid. Your little sidechain compression trick is amazing, saves me so much time. Just watching you work your fingers off on Live inspirses me haha.

[ollopapollo]

is there a version of  that SWP8 for mac?(free)

anyone? or a similar thing.

oh! and killer bass. man!

[delk218]

wow thank you. that was amazing

[jayscotland]

uv answered alot of questions i needed answered!!! cheers dude

[TeknikBlue]

Could you do the same for SFX or synths as well? It doesn't necessarily have to the bass, right?

[cosmcosm]

Most of my videos are aimed towards people who want to know how to do things themselves, rather than get something to do it for them, so I may not show the most practical route from a to b, but I show you all the steps in between so you can take form it whatever elements you want.

[b0xD]

@cosmcosm I think that is extremely important and the main reason why I like your tutorials. In my opinion, electronic music is in away, being destroyed by all the people who just load a couple of loops and put a filter over a premade bassline then call it their own. It's sick, it isn't music, it's just arranging other peoples work and taking credit. Guess that is just the reality of computers crossing with music.

[siris1747]

@cosmcosm I like how you do that it shows alot of things you can do

[waywardroots]

thats massive mate but there is a vst that does it like you said...and its called blue glitch. cheers

[cosmcosm]

glitch and this technique are quite different for a number of reasons. The first, being each new resample you have a new sound to work with... glitch just processes the sound that its being fed.

Second, the reason I made this idea public is because the mistakes you make while using this technique have a very high awsomeness factor, each time you do something wrong by accident, you new a new way to produce something.

[RoastLambShanks]

@cosmcosm I agree, glitching by hand is the way the masters do it. My teacher used to use Acid. I've adapted some of his methods to Ableton... and big ups on this tutorial.

[djstolenface]

@waywardroots glitch is the shiznit.... big results, fast,.... but it doesn't have the flexibility of knowing how to use or daw and ure synths have,.... i use glitch quite a bit, and i use multi layers a lot... the best results come from knowing how to use both..

[BokorGyuri]

U keep the attention at the boring parts as well with your style of speaking. Nice show and good stuff!

[lambd01d]

Sample the cat, then put it through Paulstretch., for a very scary sound.

[okterb68]

This is a good method and points up a nice compositional technique, but you can achieve the same goal without any resampling by using automation envelopes on your instrument and effects. Perhaps your method is easier for some, but I tend to like the flexibility of envelopes. Then I only have to use one resampled track for the sub-bass step at the end. Still, very cool tutorial. Thanks mate!

[cosmcosm]

Thanks for all the kind comments guys :) Glad you like it

[lucadepu]

@cosmcosm shut up skye for fuck's sake

[FatRoland]
