How To Make Complex Electro Quick-Edits In Ableton

A great tutorial from EmcFraktal showing how to achieve complex sounding quick edits in Ableton using the Legato feature. This method is used by artists such as Deadmau5, Madeon, Skrillex and many French House, complextro producers!

hmmm, i wonder if dudes liek madeon use this technique with their own resampled clips, or if htey just cut it up themselves, cause this way seems to lack the tight control and changes in length of the clips that dudes liek madeon adn wolfgang have in their tracks,

[HowToAbleton]

@ganimber3 without a doubt they use this method!

[CooperMedearis]

I produce, and i sit there and cut up and create each and every individual synth sound.

[HowToAbleton]

@CooperMedearis So do most people...this is just a very cool alternative.

[IkeProductionsMusic]

i have a question- i want to use the synths i have made in reason- could you do the same thing but put a rewire channel on each instead of the samples?

[HowToAbleton]

@IkeProductionsMusic Yes. You could set up some legato MIDI clips, route them out to reason, then rout the audio into an audio channel, i would recommend resampling as the MIDI will most likely use up a lot of CPU and/or cause slight latency issues.

@rileyc71 just create your own samples and mash them uo insted of useing people you know what i mean i really dont like to either but what ever sounds good il play it keep that in mind bro..

[TheCarsonrjones]

@zelder12 You do the exact same thing to those massive, instead of the various sample clips. I don't know if you can use launch feature from track to track, or only one clips within one track.

Good Fucking Shit

[yourmom09]

This is sick.

[DjAutoBob]

Nice tut! If I didn't see this, I would've ended up cutting each sample by hand.....

[Maisan0]

The deadmau5 link is deadHow do you make sure your samples are in "key"?

[rileyc71]

this is tight, but I wouldn't feel comfortable using someone else's samples like that. I realize that many people do production with samples, and I need to start, but is there any video that would be a good precursor to this one for that purpose? Like how to record pieces of your tracks and do this randomization where it will mesh well? Thanks. Great video. Learned Something new today.

I think a lot of producers slice up samples if they choose to use them. Just having your DAW randomize everything for you takes out a lot of the fun and flexibility
