Ableton Live 7 - Slice to Midi

Here I download a drum loop from Soundsnap.com and open it in Ableton Live 7. I then crop the sample and use the new Slice to Midi feature. One done the audio is in a new Drum Rack with all the sounds on separate audio channels. I re-arrange the midi notes, add a Ping Pong delay and use the Drum Rack's macro controls.

For those stating that your "stealing" the music... your absolutely not. Its creating midi, and allowing you to generate different sounding drums out of the same pattern. And the same exact drum patterns are repeated and used on a daily basis. Music repeats itself constantly... it HAS to.

@666sende666 You can save the MIDI notes to a MIDI file and then use that if you need to copy it to a lot of tracks but if it are just a few track then it'll take the same amount of time as just copying them.

@DJRoksor im COMPLETELY feeling what you are talking about, i used ableton for productions before on a Mac and just want to confirm few advantages of ableton with you:

in ableton, i can create a midi clip and copy to any instrument in the playlist to play the sound, however the midi clip created in FL is only dedicated to that instrument.. (unless copy paste the notes all over again) there is not quicker way in FL right?

thanks so much for replying, it expands my mind alot more!

@666sende666 I'd advice you to get ableton next time instead of upgrading FL. I used to work with FL and can tell you that I'm really happy I switched to ableton.. everything is laid out way better.. it'll really speed up your work flow and has a lot of little nifty options and tools that FL lacks which will boost your possibilities and creativity.

for the 'slice to new midi track' option in ableton, is there similar function in FL studio?

[masterjey51]

Very well explained

Thanks

Does anyone here know how to slice to midi in a triplet time signature? It seems I can only divide the beats by halves...

[searske]

Adjust attack times homie
