Ableton Live Tutorial | Keyboard Shortcuts Pt 1 - Midi Editing

[MillionDollarMonks]

how do i get a certain sound into the piano roll?

[WarPig15]

I was playing my own half done baseline in ableton when your video popped up with the beginning chords. Sounds so sexy i'd eat it. Thanks bub! :D

[timmlive]

you sound like Brad Pitt in Benjamin Button. Seriously.

[muzmuz73]

Brilliant! You just saved me hours!

[Rheckler3]

how can i go to piano roll ? please help

[HellFire992]

@Rheckler3 double click one of the empty boxes in your midi track :]

[SnailProjekt]

I love Ableton :)

[Coycify]

thanks! it's a very useful video, it's gonna save me plenty of time)

[Coycify]

My alt + up arrow (in win) is switching from clip view to mixer drop area and back.

i have live 8.1.1

how do I select next note in time then?

(and btw, thanks! it's a very useful video, it's gonna save me plenty of time)

[soumam]

up moves the note up - cool

down moves it down - cool

left moves it to the left - cool

right moves it to the right - WTF!?

[CuddleOscar]

so I draw in my bass drum pattern, but for some reason the notes are the color pink(making the bass softer hitting) than the red ones....anybody have any clue why this is?

[DubSpot]

@CuddleOscar yes, you need to adjust the velocity of the hits to make them louder. You should see beneath the piano roll a series of vertical lines that you can make higher or lower to make the notes softer or louder.

[CuddleOscar]

@DubSpot oh wow, thanks a lot :]

I always was wondering how would I get rid of some dots in automation, sometimes theres just so many that idk how to get rid of a good handful of them

[jmartells27]

so there no way to change the note length without changing the grid? , Id rather be able to change the note to a 1/32 while keeping the gride at 1/16th just dont feel the whole having to change the grid

[Estates2010]

I got a Yamaha PSR and i wanna record the intern-sounds ("Voice") in this programm. But i "just" can play the instruments in ableton with my "MIDI"-Keyboard.

Is there a way to record MIDI without using the instruments of Ableton???

[DubSpot]

@Estates2010 you need to connect it using a MIDI cable and make sure that Ableton is transmitting to your keyboard and then make sure that you have your keyboard hooked back up to a soundcard to record the sound coming out.

[ILoveTrance93]

God damn this guy sounds very much like brad pitt... hahaha

[DubSpot]

[NaneMKD]

I can't figure out how to get into the Piano roll in ableton. I don't know what to do! Any help would be appreciated bruv, cheers!

[obeest]

don't forget the standard command a to select all, and command x to cut

[eeksta27]

Is there any way to map record quantize options?

[dag451]

When you have the loop brace selected you can also use ctrl/cmnd down to halve the it's length, and then up again to return back to normal. It's good for create drum rolls etc on the fly.

[DubSpot]

@dag451 Those are great Key Commands as well. Thanks for sharing. Perhaps i can add those to a future tutorial.

[dannysantino]

a question: I'm looking for a very simple but soooo timesaving command ?

how do i mute single Midi Notes ?

i'm tired of clicking right + "Mute Midi Notes"

(in Logic u do it by selecting the Midi Notes and Keycommand "M")

[DubSpot]

@dannysantino

Unfortunately, I don't know of an easy way to do this in Live. I would recommend to contact Ableton and mention this feature request. They are very open to user feedback and suggestions.

[dannysantino]

@DubSpot

i contacted ableton, this was their response:

" Thanks for your input - it doesn´t exist so far, i´ll create a feature wish for our developers. "

[petterselle]

What's the "E" drumkit called? And where did you get it?

[DubSpot]

@petterselle & BLAZE45

The kit I'm using is a simple Kit I put together using samples from the Live 7 legacy Livepack. You can download it from ableton's website. Enjoy

[hilato]

the reverse midi or stretch midi is a perfect feature in live.

[BLAZE45]

WERE DO YOU GUYS GET YOUR DRUMS FROM?

[eeksta27]

Cool,this is great stuff.Looking forward to the next post!

[DubSpot]

@eeksta27

Glad your enjoying!
