    Sounds much more organic than any pads I've tried to make with oscillators. Smooth atmosphere.

    What a coincidence - I was listening to your work earlier today 'edge of forever', came home, sat to make some music, got stuck, went onto youtube to learn how to get over the hump - and here I am, watching this technique which helped me to get over the initial problem - ha! Thanks for sharing sir! ;D

      you might as well. I looked at all your videos and they're no doubt cool, but I can't believe only one ableton tut (this video)- which by far in a way has the most views. You're obviously talented in ableton and all the "ableton live tutorial junkies" like myself need good tuts.

    Hi, i did as you said and dragged the sample track over to the simpler instrument.
    But i notice that the sample track is grayed out and whenever i drag it to the simpler instrument it doesnt play from the simpler and when i crop it it doesn't play anything :/ please help, this is so frustrating i've spent so many hours trying to succeed with this program

  • @jackiemurgatroyd1148
    @jackiemurgatroyd1148 6 років тому

    Can you help me please . I have 6 samples ( 1 sound) in a folder . They are all named with the root key . I thought that ableton would map these to the correctly but they all end up with the Root key of C , I select them all and right click and select sort by root key but it doesn't map them to the correct keys. I.have another voice set of multisamples in a folder and when put in the sampler that maps them fine. . These are not even named with a root key but they map fine.how does ableton read the wav files to root them correctly ??Hopefully you can help, thanks

    @pablix809 11 років тому

    Nice video.
    But why you bother to use the looper, it wasnt doing anything.
    You can record your performance as a midi clip in the Simpler track.
    And edit it later, and record your tweekings as automation envelopes.

    Hello, Mr. Barlow. Out of curiosity, what kind of microphone did you use to record inside that grocery store?

    • @cursivedubline5
      @cursivedubline5 8 років тому

      ***** Oh wow. Maybe I shouldn't be so surprised; the microphones on Apple products are superb for what their intended uses are. Do you have any idea of a good first microphone for doing minor field recordings? I don't have any sort of smartphone and it would just be for recording inside of restaurants and what not for example.

  • @gladwinmohlamonyane4033
    @gladwinmohlamonyane4033 11 років тому

    question why don't you just work with the I/O on the tracks to send audio from the simpler to your audio track without having to fuss worry about your voice getting in the way. I don't even think you have to arm the channel if you do that. Just record. With that being said this was amazing though
