Taking A Youtube Break...
Hey team, I've been offered an opportunity that will be taking a up a large part of my time for the next few months, so I am going to have to back away from a large part of my time here on UA-cam. The channel isn't going away and I'm not quitting, but my regular streaming and video release schedule will be heavily slowed down. I'll still be posting occasionally and I'm always here to answer any questions that you may have, but I just won't have the spare time to commit to the channel that I've had in the past.
Expect more updates along the way, but I'm anticipating September will be when I'll be able to return in a more concrete way.

Simpler: Classic VS One Shot Mode | Ableton Live Tutorial
I think we can do it with the Chop transform midi tool now ! much faster. Just draw a specific length note not and use the amount of division you want for this note
Very cool cheers
I love this feature, but hate how it's limited to 127 steps in resolution. Good enough for fading between two effects maybe, but if you're fading between more layers the resolution should be higher
Thanks ! still usefull in 2K25
Very helpful!
I'm trying to fake a pedal steel, so this made my day. And so early! God bless you. It looks like Simpler has MPE too, Ableton 11 is truly a huge step up.
This was EXATLY what I was looking for! I wonder though, if I want to record one automation (Let's say Filter Res), and then have it loop around to record a different automation on another parameter (Let's say Reverb Size), will it override my first automation (Filter)?
Thank you! So Great!
My hero
What a great tip thanks, sooo much!
Hi great video, how did you get that light to flash during the metronome on the upper top left lol, im realizing I dont have that (between the link and tap button)
Thanks
I got the message delete or leave in place message I accidentally hit delete is there an undo or a folder that the files go to ? Edit: also when you delete something in ableton where does it go
Really appreciate it bro😇 Need more kind of tips like this
WHOA!!! Holy crap this was AMAZING!!!! I recently had a Max For Live class and I thought it would be overwhelming but once you understand the lay of the land.....there is soo much you could do with it. My only question is, how do project or send out the video to say a green screen or video projection source as a background for your Ableton Live performance? Is it done through a video capture like OBS? thank you again Zaak!! Your videos are always supportive and exciting.
You just saved me so much time. Thank You!
All the best for you! Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge until today.
Just in 20 min you gave the fundamentals of synth sounddesign!

thanks

this answered so many things that other videos i looked up didnt, thank you so much<3
Thank you brotha
Absolutely awesome video! Thank you. I'm remixing this to blend into my current learning program. Thanks!
Pronounced more like "ex-si-tay-tor", not "excite-a-tor".
Is there a way to scale the velocity? In Logic this is done by drawing a line while holding Command
Hi! Everything works fine for me except the Warp from here setting which warps my audio to the project bpm and not to the original audio. Any ideas why's that happening??
Very useful
I love that the way you say "crispness" sounds almost identical to "Christmas"
THANK YOU 🎉
👍👍👍👍👍✌
THANK YOU!!!!!!
I knew this would secretly be easy. Thanks man!
So, this is a Plonkish thing.
Thank you! I was wondering how to send sounds back into their own tracks and create feedback loops for creative use but this is the clearest explanation I've found. I am accustomed to hear "warnings" about feedback loops getting out of hand, just as you did, and using a limiter on the track to put up a wall against worst case volume spikes. Any comment from you on that technique?
Thank you so much so simplifying this technique. I knew there had to be an easier way!
EQ8 has a bunch of formant presets too.
@ 1"14 when you first map the CC to the repeat, Live's MIDI browser shows MIDI Ch1 ; whereas we can clearly see on the Beat Repeat, that your Twister sent on Ch2. Which works. This still buggers me, as I can't figure out why - especially since when you map the 2nd NOTE controller, Live's MIDI browser shows the correct mapping on Ch2 for the CC... (good work with your videos man, I just happened to stumble upon this one and had to scratch my head !)
Thanks for sharing ✌✌✌
This is exactly the information I needed, much appreciated!
WOW … this Channel is totaly underrated. Great Video ❤ thanks a lot.
we still miss u
Thanks.
you genius i love you ty omg
"This is why it's very important to rename your tracks and ensure everything is organized" - has 6 tracks called Bass1, lol Great tip though.
Man Ive been dealing with this for 2 years now and mainly doing my overdubbing in Maschine 2 but finally was like I need to learn how to not erase when I record over this straight in abelton lol your video answered exactly that immediately LOL THANKS BROTHA!
This reminds me of the LFO interface from Serum, exactly what I've been looking for! Appreciate the video
