[Yojimb0]

K, I'm not gay, but you have a sexy voice.

[aristurtle1]

I really liked this tutorial, but how would you go about eqing something like this? Would you eq each individual slice?

[noharmny]

I have a question

When making a bit, I transposed hihats and crashes samples few octaves up and i got pretty sweet (imo) sounds. Now I'd like to tune them so that they would be in harmony with other instruments. In FL Studio there was this tool called Edison where i could select part of an audio sample and it would tell me the pitch of a sample. Is there somthing like that in ableton?

And, of course, thanks for great tutorial!

[noharmny]

ok i found spectrum...

[aveffects]

if only you had taken the metronome off :-)

1st Off great vid. But am i the only one who thinks this dudes got a voice quality sound a bit like Obama? LOL searchin on the same thread, i found another ableton 'tutor" sounds just like Bill Clinton. his user name is soundsandgear. Lmao if ever the whitehouse starts a recod label, im sure they'll be using Live. God Bless Ableton!

clinton above hahaha

[chookiessss]

how were you triggering those individual clips at 6:00? can you do it via your keyboard?

[DubSpot]

@chookiessss yes you can, using key mapping mode.

[bryantwd]

@DubSpot Is there a way to create One shot sampling other then this?

[ERMAC4482]

@DubSpot great tutorial for splitting drum tracks into you own individual stems. Makes you feel more original. Do you know of any good tutorials that teach you how to sample and blend the edges,fades,reverbs,etc. OR how to take two phrases and make them one.alot of it is postioning but i want to make good sample that are HQ. thanks

[RainK9]

@DubSpot how would you do this with a launchpad?

[ntroo]

thank you, this is just another level of beat makin.. so many possibilities.

[dihydrogenmonoxide]

wow that was really interesting, thanks! :)

[gageishere]

i use an mpd32 and when i assign the pads, the clips i chopped play but i also hear a piano keys playing as well. what is going on, i dont have any other audio or midi clips in the rack yet so i dont know where it's coming from

[apollotm]

@2007diamondz you enter key mode to assign keys from the keyboard to mappable parameters and triggers (you can see the mapping in the tab that opens in the left of the screen), but to utilize it, you have to ten exit key mode. Providing that you haven't try to assign reserved keys, it's impossible not to work.

[joshmolina3]

Is there a way to asign audio fx like a filter, to each individual sample?

[DubSpot]

@joshmolina3 one way to do this would be using clip envelopes for each clip and assigning different filter settings in there. Or automate the device on and off to use multiple effects for specific clips. Hope that helps!

[DubSpot]

@2007diamondz If you click on "KEY" in the upper right of your Ableton screen you can assign keys to trigger clips

[cruzinguy]

Thanks...

[ctmexperiment]

this is ableton 101 stuff. I'd love to see a tutorial on more advanced techniques in Operator or Collision.

[DubSpot]

@ctmexperiment check out our YouTube channel, there are many tutorials there covering all levels of Ableton skill.

[KumpdeeDumpdee]

great video!!!

make more plz

[Discchord]

Wow, I've seen a few demonstrations of using Ableton's clips as drum triggers, but none of them took it that extra step to show why you'd want to actually do that over all the many drum sampler VSTs. Very impressive results, I'm going to have to keep this in mind.

[icenci86]

thank you for sharing this!

[AMuser84]

[Eroc115]

[theniallhoutenshow]

@rickmanary It's a Launchpad. 8x8 grid.

[blissful0ne]

How about some more advanced tutorials?

FM synthesizing?  I'd love a good tutorial on that.
