  • Flabby, punchy... Thats what I used to do to the fat kids at school! Lol Nice tutorial matey!

  • @jofomofo1 That's not very nice.

  • I am on a PC running Live 8. I cannot seem to get multiple drum samples onto one single pad as you have done in this vid. Am I not executing the commands correctly, or is it my version of live?

  • @sk6mix Hold down the Control key when dragging and look up Multis in your manual. Cheers!

  • You can also use a little track delay (D on the right of the screen) for a fast and dirty correction

  • utility would be alot faster and a lot simpler.

  • whoo BC!

  • Awesome tutorial, greatly appreciated!

  • Awesome tutorial, greatly appreciated!

  • great!!! thanks :)

  • Awesome tip, would never have caught this on my own!

  • @DJVespers I FINALLY figured out what the problem was. FOR PC USERS, its not the Control key, it is the ALT key that you must hold to drag multiple samples into a single pad. Thanks for nothing Vespers! Haha....just kiddin.....u da man!

  • @DJVespers ya if anything the first wav cycles will just be the click of the kickdrum (or the beater)....that has no real harmonics or tone compared to the sub part of the bass, which comes later. So it cant really be out of phase to much. When you hear two records phasing each other out from a dj it is because the sub parts of the kicks are out of phase. not the clicks
