This Ableton Technique Creates ENDLESS Keyboard Sounds
In this tutorial we explore stacking keyboard sounds with Ableton Meld and enhancing everything with Expression Control. The ADSR of Electric keyboards is not unlike a synth, so matching that ADSR to a parallel synth like Meld can make it very easy to blend synth sounds to a keyboard and get very unique tones!

I love you thanks bro
Good job👍
thank you :)
Definitely more content like this would be fantastic!
Awesome! Yea I'm not sure how many producers rely on MIDI these days, thank you for that feedback!
@ I use MIDI all the time!
I just found your channel. Enjoying it very much. Definitely subbed!
Thank you! Glad you're enjoying it :)
More content on film please.
Sure! Do you have any questions or things you'd like to see more of in particular?
Great video broski. Even for a recording veteran, it was nice to see your thought process. I love how you place your sidechain for the verb. Clever!
Thank you! It's always a pleasure to have recording veterans on the channel, cheers :)
Great demo!
thank you!
can u do the pad in the background please?
can you make it in more detail, plz
Wow
where is Chorus Ensemble in Albeton 10? aeems they took away pitch and moudaltion or renamed it
I'm not sure, I'm on Ableton 12 right now. They moved away from using the sub-folder system for the stock audio effects menu. Maybe someone will see this and have a better answer. Good luck!
It's a good idea TBF, as we can clearly view / adapt the arrangement for contrasting or supporting elements (and also keep some sections of the song minimal or energetic, or change some notes due to timing or frequency issues etc). I tend to use a different method when arranging / choosing instruments, but this 'one midi track' idea is decent. Cheers.
Absolutely, there's definitely other approaches for this. Thanks for watching (and commenting) :)
Ehm... Why not just create separate pieces of midi intentionally, like compose bass line, then chords, then choose lead and drumms, and arrange everything into song... Like i believe everyone should do? O_o Or you talking about situation in wich you get some random midi notes someone else wrote, and you just try to make something out of it?
Yea it's from a MIDI pack, it came that way, sometimes they're label "comp" or "compilation" and they look super dense like that
When I used piano rolls I don't like placing notes that can't be translated live. It's sound unnatural to my ears like a keyboard player has 3 hands. I would still use it but I would have to remove parts of it. But Hay that's just me
Yes it's very dense. When I do piano parts I use a sparser setup too. I'd also recommend people stay away from MIDI chord packs where every note has the same exact velocity. It's a telltale sign the piano MIDI samples were not composed by a real piano performance.
@TomCasey I totally agree, not to have all the notes land at the same time unless it's a run of stabbed chords but yeah different velocities on chords and notes coming in a different times makes a more authentic sound 😃👍
Dude so excellent. Thank you. 🙏🏼
glad it helped! thanks for watching :)
theres no wavetable on the lite version :(
You have Drift on Lite. Btw I made 100+ drift presets and a full tutorial on the Patreon.
sounds crazy !🙏🏼
thank you! glad you enjoyed :)
Good advice
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much!

Thanks!! Very helpful!
You're welcome!
This was extremely helpful and you are absolutely right - now the dry loops sound so absolutely dead in comparison to with Roar. Super cool. Thank you.

Hi Tom, What Skin/Theme is this? Would love to have something similar if available. Thank you, great tip for the drums 😁
Settings>Theme&Colors, then select the "Twenty-Four Carat" theme
Thank you for this very succinct video! So when the spec for the dialogue levels is for, say -27 LUFS, how do we determine this? Is it ever measured on the dialogue stem only? Doesn't the integrated LUFS of the entire show's mix take into account explosions, gunshots etc.? How do we determine and adhere to a specific dialogue spec, as opposed to a show's overall loudness spec? Thx!
Yea you can look at the temporary LUFS while dialogue is mainly happening. The main idea is you're going to have ample headroom when people are talking. Loud sound FX can be right near 0, but the main idea is there is a big dynamic range in the overall mix. If people are having a gentle conversation, we wouldn't be pushing those audio levels to the edge like a vocal track in a pop song. TV shows tend to run a little bit louder, generally. But now that so many TV shows are a streaming show and highly cinematic, I'm sure someone would argue against that LOL. Documentary programs do still tend to be louder imo. I want people to be able to hear the dialogue and not get completely destroyed by an explosion sound effect when it does happen. That's just my perspective though. It's going to depend on your project. I HIGHLY recommend ripping audio from movies or TV shows that your audience would also watch and assess what kind of loudness you need to be in range of. We just want people to enjoy the program and not reach for the volume because we're way off the mark.
@@TomCasey Thanks for the prompt and helpful reply! I'm starting to get a grasp on what levels dialogue should be. It's adhering to the technical spec I'm not sure about. I've heard about QC nightmares where if the dialogue, among other things, isn't just so the project gets sent back. I'm still not clear how the overall dialogue level in a project is ascertained. Thanks again!
this is the video I have been looking for months finding. thank u so much <3
glad it helped you!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
thank you!!
Amazing video! Thank you so much!
Thank you!! :)
Thank you for this brother. You deserve much more views and you will have.
Thank you brother. I'm grateful even if just one person finds and likes the content. Cheers!
Nice
check out the main menu theme for the new game called Animal Well, it's just this deep descending pads thing with a neat strange melody over top, very simple but awesome, actually it's track 2 i mean.. it's called Animal Well - Flames. it's very deep pads. souns like Oberheim synth
Very nice, it's been a while since I played a side-scroller but the art style looks really cool, like a lofi-Terraria. Cheers!
not a beginner and wow this video really unlocks a whole new world with just how succincntly you tied each adjustment to the category of sound.
Thank you, I'm glad this actually helps. A friend of mine showed this to me on a Minibrute years ago and it just stuck with me ever since!
I love those open chords! Thx!
Thank you!!
Great video! Thanks for the tips :)
thank you for watching!
just found the channel whilst looking for samples for a lofi project, thx so much, this saved so much time!
Glad I could help!
@@TomCasey just one question, do I need FL fruity to install plugins and how do I install plugins
Gosh, it sounds so beautiful. Thanks for the idea!
I'm glad it inspired you, thanks for watching!
Top mini-lesson, Mr Joe Rogan-voice!!
Thank you lol
Thank you so much, this was fantastic!!
Thank you! I'm glad it was useful to you
Could have sworn that II-V-I-VI was the progression to Gravity by Sara Bareilles, but turns out I was way off. You can sing it to that progression though and it fits for the first line.
Very interesting. Yea, these progressions are so great for writing melodies that doesn't surprise me. Cheers
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Interesting chords progression that present tension have something magical to them. I'd love to hear more ! @@TomCasey
This setup is so cool, man
Map the attacks of each synth to its own macro. Map the filter cut-offs. Also map the wet/dry of each effect. That should give you a nice palette of texture. Now save the instrument rack as a preset and whenever you need a pad, there you go. Even if you change the presets of the three layers. You still have lots of external control to create new pads quickly.
I've been using Ableton for over a year now, and didn't realise this is possible. Genius! Definitely keeps the GAS at bay.
