How to Chop Samples in Ableton 11 Simpler * Classic, One Shot and Slice Modes
I would love to see a detailed video on how to use these for beginners. At least on future videos show examples of what those knobs or things do that you were explaining. Maybe make a series on how to use gear? Maybe have a short one like these for advanced guys & a in depth for noobs like me? If you cant due to having to work and time constraints, I understand. Thx for letting me what plugins to get tho. Im saving this
For sure!, I try and explain what each knob does if I'm reviewing a plugin or showing a technique. I want to try and make things straight to the point and also as simple as i can.
@wilmaker awesome! I subbed btw. Keep up the great work. The quick vids are good too!
Im using a wav file cant see the envelope thing
For me when I start the playback right where it triggers a note (in a Ableton MIDI clip), I only get a short burst of audio and then it stops (as if Note Off was sent, there is still reverb/echo). Any idea why that is? I mean I could use it like that and just start the playback a little earlier but it's really annoying.
Instructions unclear, I know have a stutter when I speak
Nice use of stems into Ableton ….thanks
No problem! Happy to hear you found it useful!
Way too hard to use
It feels complicated for beat making, but I feel the stem separation options are legit.
Thank you so much this was a great help for a confused music student<3
No problem! Happy to hear you found it useful!
Thanks brother
No problem! Happy to help!
thanks
No problem, Happy to help!
I just wanted the free IDX. Can I get V15 without updating all my older waves vsts ($$$$)? Thanks. Nothing on the Waves site addresses this clearly.
I haven’t tried it but it might come down to the version you currently have. Waves Central Version 15 only has V14 and V15 available for install. So anything earlier would require an earlier version of Waves Central which wouldn’t include V15. There’s a drop down on the install page that lets you choose V14 and V15. I think you might be able to keep all current plugins at V14 and just install IDX with V15. If your versions are earlier than V14 I’m not sure it’s possible.
how to do you get 2 bars for peak?
Sorry, if I’m understanding correctly. I’m referring to 2 peaks. The top and bottom peaks need to have an even amount of peaks to work.
👌🏻👌🏻🔥🔥🔥
Great video, exactly what I was looking for.
Appreciate it! Happy to help!
I presume you can export seperate stems so I can use in Studio One for example?
Yes. Before I export I make sure all tracks are what there supposed to be. For example on the high hat track you might get a random snare. I move it where it’s supposed to be then export.
you are the best man saved me 200 euros brooooo

Happy to help! 🙌🏼
Thanks!! I'm evaluating to leverage on black friday and move totally to FabFilter pluigins and basically minimize the use of others (mainly UAD). i use Reaper and I basically mix/master only my bands music, rock/blues. What do you think? Is this move worth? pro&cons? Thanks much!!
I’m a big fan of both UAD and Fabfilter. Plug-ins I use frequently are Pro-Q3 (this is on every mix I do). Plug-ins I use frequently and on most of my mixes and production. Pro MB easy to use and I love this on vocals. Pro-DS is my go to de esser. Saturn 2 is one of my favorite saturation plugins. I love the multi-band. I actually like volcano 3. I try and find uses for it when I need a unique filter. I do also like the Pro L2, Pro R2 and Pro C2. With that said I think Fabfilter offers a high quality product. I reach for Fabfilter often. The simplicity of the interface and features have kept them in my go to plugins. Cons I’d say. The price point. Black Friday and their Summer Sale are the perfect time to think about getting them. The interface though simple can at times feel complicated with so many options. Especially for beginners. I do feel there’s a transparency to most of the Fabfilter plugins. I think that’s why I like to use other plugins with them so I can add different colors to my mixes. (That’s just how I feel) Ultimately I’ve never regretted investing in the bundle. I use their plugins frequently. I feel if I needed to it would be easy to mix with just Fabfilter. I just personally like mixing them with other plugins. Hope this helps.
@@wilmaker Thanks!!
gracias pela
No problem! 🙌🏼
Nice now how do I get that clicking sound to go away
Two things you can try. Finding the sweet spot of the loop or you can slightly fade the cross point. I’ve also tried different points to loop of the 808 as well. Those seem to be what works for me.
i get stuck at fixing waves permissions and ownership
Where are you getting stuck?
Recording : 44100 + 128 samples - Mixing : 44100 + 1024 samples. Thank you
Yeah it works, but as you said with a lot of plugins, ''verify plugins'' takes a lot of time everytime you have to do this when you installed a new plugin. Isn't there any other way to prevent this?
I’ve only had to fix this error myself two times. If I’ve gotten a new plugin i just install the plugin normally.
The vocal tag reminds me of "Give Me The Night" by George Benson. Great Video!
lol Nice! Thank you!
God bless you! Finally working method, I love you man!
Happy to hear it's working! 🙌🏼
How to do this in FL 10?
Sorry, I wasn't able to troubleshoot with FL 10. I assume the path needs to be the same. FL needs to know where to look for the plugins. If you're using FL 10 you might want to look into the Waves version of the plugin you are using and make sure it's compatible.
damn its amazing...can i use it on fl studio?
I just export the stems and then import them into my daw of choice.
@@wilmakerI'm a noob, what's your favorite DAW? I run PC and I want to do like Daft Punk and sample stuff to make music. Maybe create my own beats or if there's a great plug library for 808 & deep basslines then I would use that. I dont know anything about theory or nuttin, just bop my head. Couple questions if you would pls? What DAW & other products would you use for what I am trying to do? FL Studio 21 beta latest with STEM separation and/or RipX? I have an Akai & old FL 12 but haven't touch anything yet. I understand that some sw is easier to work with or better for task. How much theory do I need to start and where would I learn it from? Jr college or online, who is a good teacher ect. Thx for the wisdom
@@boywonderrr71 As far as theory goes, I feel the more you know the easier it is to get ideas out of your head. Theres a great video that @andrewhuang did on theory to get you started, ua-cam.com/video/rgaTLrZGlk0/v-deo.htmlsi=hn__sgLI7evMd7AS I personally use Ableton and FL Studio for production and Pro Tools to mix. For stem separation i prefer RipX. I like that my drums are separated in RipX. Education and collaboration are the quickest ways to further your craft. You can definitely learn searching online as well but it can take longer to learn. As far as Tools i'd start with the tools in your daw you choose. You'll start developing your own taste.
thank u
For sure! No problem!
ITS SOUNDS LIKE CRAP
Sorry to hear that. I found it really depends on the 808 and where you slice it. I've had some 808's sound great, and others sound terrible.
for windows? place😢
the path for Windows should be. Program Files/Waves/Plugins-V14 (or version your using)
Subscribed ! Bruh i had this daw and couldn’t figure out alot of stuff you showed me !
Appreciate it! Thank you!
it doesn't render the sidechain for me :(
Even when exporting with effects?
Doesn't work
Sorry, some 808s work better than others and at times it can be tedious finding the point where to create the loop. Some sections play better than others.
Is there anyway to get v7 to work?
I think you'll need to install a legacy version of waves central. www.waves.com/downloads#older
very informative and good editing brother!
Really appreciate the comment! Thank you!
Ty brother
No problem!
brother but how did you get image line folder into ableton you skipped the most important part...
It was already in there. I have both DAWs installed.
Has anyone figured this out because I’m having the same problem
If you don't see the FL Studio VSTi as an option, run the FL installer and make sure that the VSTi is also selected to be installed. Make sure it's installed to your usual VST folder (otherwise move it there) and let your DAW scan for new plugins.
It says please select the folder where you installed FL Studios but waves is in the exact folder FL studios is in????
FL Studio is looking for the plugins again. This method directs it to them.
Thank you Homie
No problem!
Deepremix, rx8,10 or fl studio, what is the best for stem separation sir
For stem separation I like Deepremix (RipX). I found it a little cleaner. Plus it separates the drums. I haven’t used Rx since 8 but it’s been my least favorite. Seems to have the most artifacts. FL isn’t bad.
@@wilmaker Thank you sir
"go down to your snare" how? i just see the tracks, not all the drums.
I was referring to where I had the snare in the video. Sorry for the confusion.
how u get the clicking out
You can try fading or use another section of the 808. Unfortunately it can be tedious sometimes. Depending on the 808. Finding the right spot to loop.
i cant find the waves file
Was it fixed?
ts was not helpful
Sorry to hear that. I hope you’re able to figure it out.
@@wilmaker myb for comin in a mean way. all this stuff rlly got me stressed out, i spend so much money on something i cant find to fix
No worries. I understand. I haven’t had to use it, but Waves does also offer support. www.waves.com/contact-us
@@wilmaker ill use it thank you!!!
Ripx always has a ton of bleed when i use it
Out of the stem separation software I’ve used. RipX has the most flexibility and had the least amount of artifacts. I haven’t done a comparison in a while though. I’m not sure if the artifacts will ever fully go away. It’s a little crazy that stem separation is even possible.
