Ok wowzers, from all the videos I've seen in your channel I found this one particurlarly useful. I'd love a whole "you suck at playing live" mini-series, or at least a second video on how to prepare a set of different songs in the same session, for example. Thanks, keep it up!
Goodness me, there's so much to live for. So many knobs and buttons, so much useful info. Thanks Underbelly! You've become one of if not my favorite music instructor I've found thus far!
Dope tut as always! Just one thing to min. 1:48: You could also map the volume control to one of your faders and then hit the MIDI button on the top right an click the arrow on the top left corner. There you can set the max. amount of your specific fader for instance to -6db. Then you could turn the fader on your MIDI controller all the way up and it won't pass that line. Just to let you know!
You'd think Adsense was giving an extra dollar for every 'wowsers' said...Possibly the best music production channel tutorial channel on UA-cam! Thanks! :-)
I am an old Gen Xer that cut my teeth in analogue vinyl many moons ago. After painfully reviewing young millennial UA-cam producer channels I found you. Thank Wowsers that satire is strong in your creative arsenal. Up there with your musical talents. Thanks for skipping the frills and getting to the point. I (now proudly) suck at producing.
perfect timing! great alternative for those who don't got the handy dandy foot peddle on your other video on live looping. saved me time & money =) p.s. love your enthusiasm n humor when sharing these things!
Great video, really inspirational! Could you explain what does have you assigned (at 07:58 and 08:15) on the pad and what effect on the knobs for the repeated/pitched effects?
I’m sorry I’m so late to the parry, but the thing that is setting me back, is, how at 5:54, you managed to que up and start recording one later down? Is that a specific midi map you’ve set up? Or is it a feature in the Akai controller you have? I want to be able to record live and loop and transition to other rows without clicking the master play button over to the right. Do you have to have a 4x4 pad for the red box to show up?
You actually map the faders to the volume of your tracks and set the max to nominal instead of +6 , however this does look like a super sweet config for live looping.
Hey just so you know instead of using the sends to control the volumes you can just map your faders to the regular faders and in the midi mapping you can set your faders to only go from negative infinity to 0db or whatever you want
Hey thanks for this! Really informative. Wanted to ask what exactly was mapped on those knobs for the whole thing to stop and fade out at the end. Thanks!
Did you have to set the amount of bars you want to loop, or are you hitting end record after each section? I didn't notice you un-arming the record for the drums
Push 2 has a repeat the last four bar option. Is there a way to do that without push? Playing drums and hitting a pad assigned to the repeat the last four bars option.
Underbelly - what Ableton device are you using for your Fender Rhodes instrument? Is it an Ableton device or 3rd party... great vibes, one of my favorite channels
question, it seems you only use volumes to mix or glue the instruments when live looping. did you pre-mix/compress anything prior to live looping? any suggestions on basic mixing & mastering using only free vsts/ ableton plug ins? should there be any of these processes going on throughout performing live? thanks in advance underbelly!
very light compression/limiting on master to glue everything together. However 90% of the sound is just listening and making sure the volume of each track is good from the get go.
You Suck at Producing hey thanks underbelly !!! yea im not trying to make it great. just enough so its not hurting folks ears. i mean you do these videos n hardly have anything on n can focus more on havin fun performing. i think im overthinking too much into the knitty gritty details n its so so dope to see its possible to get over all that mixing master 101 stuff n get to this level of performing out already. have a wonderful day yo!
I use an RC505 for loops looking into other ways of looping my synth/ acoustic instruments, love your video makes me think of other ways of looping, this AKAI device only works with software?! Can I just use it as a loop machine? If not any other recommendations for loop machines? I really like how you just add FX to the track I can do that with the RC as well. Thanks again!
Loved this video, thanks a lot for the walk through! Can you please explain how you mapped the pad that corresponds to 'creating a new clip' on the first press + triggering it on a second press? This seems like such a fun setup to start creating right away!
It's a late reply, but anyone wanting free Rhodes goodness should check out Native Instruments Kontakt Player. The Scarbee Rhodes is beautiful. Also comes with The Gentleman piano.
Very helpful. I’m betting you prefer the Akai controller to the Push2 ...but might you expand on the considerations and tradeoffs? I’m just beginning the search. Thanks!
4:48 sounds like he’s rapping
(uh) new clip on the rhodes track (yuh)
I stopped watching porn for this
Totally worth it
yeah i had to stop for a bit while i filmed fuckin sucked
I have my porn assigned to pad 15 on the macro bank.
Wowzers
You got here via "suck", right?? :-)

Out of all the videos I watched, this made the most sense! Thank you :)
Intro: "Hi, you succ at producing"
Me: "Well, thanks for reminding me, I guess..."
never forget
Goodness me, there's so much to live for. So many knobs and buttons, so much useful info. Thanks Underbelly! You've become one of if not my favorite music instructor I've found thus far!
no problemo Zhu

true that, very good tip. Will definitely have a video on midi mapping tricks soon.
Was gonna say the exact same thing!
great tip .. did not know that
You suck slighty less at producing
do you have an idiot proof guide to doing this? im a bit unsure what to do
You'd think Adsense was giving an extra dollar for every 'wowsers' said...Possibly the best music production channel tutorial channel on UA-cam! Thanks! :-)
Dude. Your channel is pure gold.
This channel is going to blow up
damn right
this gonna blow up thanks to youtube recommendations
Fuck
Yeeeee!
Youre the hero we need, not the hero we deserve..
i just ask myself, what would diplo do?

This opens up new worlds man, keep it up and give yourself a tap on the wrist - you've earned it ♡
thanks man, i'll be sure to tap it with vigor
You probably are the best ever youtube production tutor
"you'll noticed that I've mapped the first five faders still attached to my controller" XD
Oh man. I just realised, I suck at producing.
very good
When he started speaking in tempo at 4:49
Great swing my man
learned more from these 9 minutes than the hours of other videos on looping.
Been recording guitar loops with mic and amp but just messed about with this tonight and man it's so much more versatile
perfect timing! great alternative for those who don't got the handy dandy foot peddle on your other video on live looping. saved me time & money =) p.s. love your enthusiasm n humor when sharing these things!
Dude...solid content. Gold standard demo. Thanks.

Can you recommend a good rhodes synth? Mine just suck ^^
lounge lizard
As soon as you played that Rhodes, I just sat back, and let you play out. This was money all the way. Keep it up👏.
This video never gets old
literally the best tutorial channel lmaooo
I'm crying because the metronome makes me feel pretty miserable too, very grateful that you've validated the nausea of my ears.
"WE'RE BACK IN BUSINESS, BABY"
That bass drum fit so good with those first chords, wowzers
Is it possible to get that project file as a template or mind telling what the FX settings are?
Wowsers! Just discovered your channel. Made my evening.
thanks for watching jason
The subtitles are 🔥
1:20 to fix this, wouldnt it be possible to adjust Min/Max Values in the MIDI Map settings?
Lucas N yeah, that’s what I do when I map knobs for volume.
What effect was that second knob? Closed caption is telling me he's saying "shrimp with the leg on" and I just have a feeling that's wrong.
Awesome tut!!!!!!! Would love for you to do one on how too get started scratching
scratching vid coming soon
You can edit min / max values for midi controller mappings, so you can have the sliders max out at 0 dB instead of +6 dB.
can you make a video on how you do all your midi mapping to your akai on Ableton?
I’ve been looking for decent guides. You had me at dingus. I’m listening....
I like your flavor bro. Vibe is dope. Great teaching techniques as well. Keep it up!!
thanks numbynumb
Wow nice... loving your tutorials man.
When midi mapping you can take the max volume down to 0db from 6db, solving your clipping fader problem.
nice. Thanks...did you do all the mapping or is that all preset?
i did it all bb
Can you do this on cakewalk by bandlab matrix mode
How do I do this with your type of midi controller and a TR-08 drum machine?
A funny tut youtuber who is talented and entertaining. Amazing, keep it up. Wish I found this channel sooner.
thanks mayne
What akai machine are you using there?
Best loop tutorial of all time
1:35 U can limit the throw of the fader in midi mappings. (apple+M)
Wow! Amazing! Just a question: how do you do the looks it without “capture” function?
I’m sorry I’m so late to the parry, but the thing that is setting me back, is, how at 5:54, you managed to que up and start recording one later down? Is that a specific midi map you’ve set up? Or is it a feature in the Akai controller you have? I want to be able to record live and loop and transition to other rows without clicking the master play button over to the right. Do you have to have a 4x4 pad for the red box to show up?
i love your "lets get started"-face. hope patent is pending.
face currently under reconstruction
This channel is Wowzers!
So simple, so instructive..
You actually map the faders to the volume of your tracks and set the max to nominal instead of +6 , however this does look like a super sweet config for live looping.
I love this channel man!
Hi, really liked your video. What is that Synth? Is it from Ableton's stock sounds?
wowzers bro. thanks for existing
Hi Underbelly, for the volume faders using sends suck imo. In the midi mapping list in Ableton you can change the max from +6dB to 0dB.
good tip
Once you started heating up with the effects, shit got fire. Respect, new sub here.
Hey just so you know instead of using the sends to control the volumes you can just map your faders to the regular faders and in the midi mapping you can set your faders to only go from negative infinity to 0db or whatever you want
love everything about this vid
I love your content. Keep it up, proud of you.
this was hilarious and really helpful. I now have a general idea what to do and some good tips for mapping.
I think you're the best person of the universe.
Hey thanks for this! Really informative. Wanted to ask what exactly was mapped on those knobs for the whole thing to stop and fade out at the end. Thanks!
Where can I get the MPD32 Ableton script?
Tap on the wrist
you're doing great
Mapping the midi to bpm was genius. Going to add it in my workflow.
Do you use a plug in for beat repeats, or is it something built in in Ableton?
i use the built-in beat repeat
Thanks mate.
truly genius :)
dope! make vid about sends & master section please, cuz im suck at producing
i have a vid on sends and returns, check check it
found it. thanks!
what chords is he playing on the rhodes?
idk names but here's the notes1st chord: Bflat F Aflat C Eflat G
2nd chord: B Gflat Bflat Dflat Eflat Gflat
A♭maj7(13)on B♭and Bmaj9, I think.
This is amazing
THANKS BRANDNDNDNENE
Absolute awesomeness!
Alex Paul from the chainsmokers is incredibly high
Did you have to set the amount of bars you want to loop, or are you hitting end record after each section? I didn't notice you un-arming the record for the drums
best upload
thank
Push 2 has a repeat the last four bar option. Is there a way to do that without push? Playing drums and hitting a pad assigned to the repeat the last four bars option.
not that i know of
That Rhodes sounds awesome, may I ask what do you use for it? Scarbee Vintage Keys or something else?
Any tips on producing in bed?
Caffeine … Lots.

Hey Underbelly just checking again to see if you can help with my question :)
have the same question
Me too :/
4:50 "New...clip...on the Rhodes track" was perfectly on the beat
You can place Utility plug ins -6db on each channel so the full range of faders is usable with no sends too.
I am so glad I found you in my recommended
This man hits a fat dab before every video I swear 😂 love these videos though.
Great video thanks.
Side note; this guy is every composition major in the country.
thx a lot! i'm searching for a good free rhoades vst, wha do you suggest ?
don't know bout free, but lounge lizard is pretty great
It's a late reply, but anyone wanting free Rhodes goodness should check out Native Instruments Kontakt Player. The Scarbee Rhodes is beautiful. Also comes with The Gentleman piano.
What was the effect at 7:29
I really like you you help a lot. Thanks dude!
ok no problem
Very helpful. I’m betting you prefer the Akai controller to the Push2 ...but might you expand on the considerations and tradeoffs? I’m just beginning the search. Thanks!
That was wowzers, mother frickin impressive.
Your channel is awesome!
4:50 I get lost , hit what button ? 🤔
I have a question! ✋🏻
How do you mapped those knobs to the loop/delay/reverb fx?
Thnx for the best producing tutorials on yt!!
just press ctrl + m for mapping
yup yup. If you go to audio effect racks in ableton there's a bunch of built in fx designed for easy midi mapping. check check it
Opinions on first controller purchase for Ableton?? Push 2 or.....?
Sick guitar
awesome thank you! id love to see a video of you explaning how you set up your macro pads. :)
great job !!can you show us how you are mapping all this stuff?
i second this 3 years later. let us know underbelly!
