how did you copy all drumskik at once to drumrack

[DJVespers]

@patrikkc You just multi select them by shift clicking to highlight multiple samples, then drag them all over to a pad on the Drum Rack. Then you'll see the pads light up chromatically upwards in orange, and you just release to drop them. Or, you can hold down command (Mac) alt (PC - I think) and it'll create a Multi with them all layered on 1 pad in a nested Drum Rack. Cheers!

What if i have different samples on the drum rack (kicks, claps, hats and so on)? Will it allow me to "copy value to siblings"?

[DJVespers]

@Absalohm Yes, it's independent of the type of sample loaded into the Simplers. It'll work for any sibling Simplers and even whole sibling Drum Racks that are within a Chain together (ie: nested). Cheers!

Hey Vespers, thank you for the video. I know you love Ableton and I do as well, however, I really love Propellerhead Reason also. The newest version of reason has an amazing drum designer and if you ever get a chance, check it out! In the meantime, do continue making Ableton tutorials. Thanks

[DJVespers]

@sk6mix Will do. Cheers!

It's not the first usefull video that I have seen from you,thanks again your new sub!

[rharold]

its amazing what little things you learn after so many years of using a program. even something small as this tip. I have another... for anyone who doesn't know; if you hold the Ctrl button down while adjusting a value knob on a device, it will 'slow down' its movement for more precise adjustments. thanks vespers.

Thank you my time saving Canadian friend!

[Kifferei]

omgggg thank you. this shit pissed me off so bad so happy i have velocity sensitive drumracks now and don't have to use impulse!!!!!!

[electronicexposure]

thank you very much, exactly what I needed to know. Cheers

[jskataboy]

this helped me so much!!!

[Flipflip79]

Man you just cured my frustration! Thanks!

[toolbass24]

Vespers, your a genius, I almost stopped using Drum Rack because of that flaw! :)

@Iskulaatikko just save a simpler with the velocity sensitivity set the way you like it, then drop in your defaults/ instruments folder in your ableton library. it'll load with those settings every time.
