I once wrote a track from a singe drum loop just using extreme warping. That's really cool Ableton's feature and warping was one of the key features even in version 1
The best DAW is the one you're using. And I say this as a Uni lecturer who uses and teaches pretty much all DAW's. The one I use most myself though, Bitwig. And that will do everything you pointed out in this video.
@@overtonesnteatime198 It's not really. The basics are no more difficult than Ableton, if you want to deep dive than the grid is an easier learning curve than Max for live.
I figured out how to automate this transient thing in beats mode you should map it to some physical knob on midi keyboard and move it by hand but you have to have mouse clicked on the desired track in arrangment view. Thats what I saw. Btw I love your videos and how you talk about advanced concepts in such easy way.
This channel is crazy bro! I watched some videos and it is definitely a fresh take on production tutorials. I bet you have high attention retention percentage on your videos
For me, the MOST important feature is actually the ability to render each clip and normalize it (consolidate), and ableton will add to the clip name date time and random numbers, to make it unique. So then you can just drag and drop a clip to the browser and that's it! This is super useful for sound design sessions and saving chopped clips with the same name. That is a main reason I don't switch to bitwig although, bitwig is better than ableton in any feature.
Nice vid and you own the glitch transition. Aside from the top tier Live tips, I really appreciate the video editing that goes into these vids. Bravo!! I'm a 10+ year Studio One fanboy that just made the move to Live and I'm loving it. I've had more fun and creative time in the last few weeks than I had for years with Studio One. Thanks for all the great content.
Thanks a lot man! 🙏 I have good memories with studio one since I tried it for a couple of months in exchange for cubase while doing recording sessions. I believe that was just after they announced it but once I checked how s1 looks and feels now, it evolved into a real pro tools competitor 💪
Love it! In cool and easy to understand ways you reminding us (or at least me ) that we've already have the cool tool called Ableton before spend more dollars for plugins
Glad you enjoy the video!! Honestly it kinda evolved naturally for me to make videos about stock solutions 😅 some plugins are cool tho and I’ll definitely highlight some in a future
@@thepoldergoon Yeah but the majority of them are terrible, doesn't really matter because if you're well versed in the daw of your choice a tutorial can be made for whatever daw and you'll be able to translate it into your own workflow.
@@vael_ yeah i use a lot of AU5's sound design techniques despite him being ableton and me being fl studio. I just know how to do the same shit in FL studio with patcher. Ableton to me feels like "old man shit" as based gutta calls it lol. It looks like some microsoft office type shit. Its so fugly to me.
im an fl user and i tried ableton a while back and the only reason i stuck with fl was because the way u use midi and type in notes was not that good compared to fl but still ableton is still pretty good
i found it ....and for my sample based workflow it's not working....was totally mindblown because cpu performance was so much better as ableton ...but bitwig wasn't able to do simple shit
@@jussivalter i really hope bitwig already changed it ....first i thought i'm just to stupid to check it but after a google search that shit was confirmed and i was like wtf
I love Ableton Live and really enjoy the Live 12 update, but besides being the worst DAW in terms of CPU handling (off topic), they need to start looking at what is available with the competition. Reaper (yeah I know) has some brilliant warp features (including a Paul Stretch mode...that you can't automate though....yet), no limitations to stretching (no need to stretch x4, Cmd+J....repeat) and SWS extensions (think of it as its own Max4Live but with function that "bake in the process) that set it on a whole different level in terms of audio mangling...which might be the reason so many video game sound designers use it. Anyway, love Ableton Live and this channel is a great and fun resource for it. Subbed.
Wait what, Paul stretch is available in Reaper? 🫨 can’t count how many times I needed to launch the standalone app to stretch some things that simply can’t be warped that extremely in Live (don’t know if it’s just me but consolidating and stretching gives totally different effects)
Hey Zdrewe✌ Good Videos The okdest Videos from you are 3 years ago. Did you produced with Ableton 10 back then? I ask, because, if I compatible with your Tutorials. I'm using 10 Suite on my Mac Pro 5.1 with OSX 10.11... Thanks for answering🤝 Sorry, for my bad English🙊 Are you from Germany?😁
So from the bottom: close enough, I’m from Poland and don’t worry! If I remember correctly my first tutorial here was made with 11 but majority of tips inside my vids apply to older versions. If there’s any new feature that comes with the latest 12 version (like midi tools or new devices) I always mention that 😉
Never liked the sound of the warp algorithms of Live, especially when changing BPM, something seems lost, excessively. Made the switch to FL and haven’t missed a thing plus free updates and they update often
Thanks for the reminder of this! I bought FL like 10+ years ago and didn't realize it was lifetime updates. Used Bitwig and Ableton + ProTools since the swap years ago, but wanna try FL again as I just got back into music after a few years away. Cheers Reggi!
Great stuff. I use Live and Bitwig and keep finding gems in both 12, as well as Bitwig 5.2. If I am going deep... I will do a lot of the work in Live and then pull the entire project into Bitwig for more tweaks and so much modulation, that your head will spin. I've been a Live user since I believe, 8? Something like that. At this point, I still love Live and I also am really getting into Bitwig.
@@Zdrewe For me, its been a nice add on. I have not jumped ship, only learned another tool. Unlike Polarity and DasGlitch, I haven't left Live. I seem to always go to Live, when I really need to do something specific and fast. I go to Bitwig to either add more polish to a Live project or to really burn time and do something different. I am no expert in Bitwig yet, but learning. Its definitely a deeper rabbit hole.
Can’t remember the exact names but those come from Noisia packs from Splice. I just mixed them into this track with some eq and glue compressed everything together. At some point I have plans to include dl links to some of my projects tho 😉
Honestly, learn to use 2 or 3 different DAWs. FL can do things Ableton can't, and in ways Ableton can't. And vice versa. Same with Bitwig. Same with *insert DAW here*. You'll be a more flexible producer/musician/creator who appreciates how different people do things :)
I totally agree with your statement. I need to hold my jokes and sarcasm a bit when it comes to DAWs since it triggers too many to start unnecessary arguments about software

how can i simply work with audio tracks in bitwig without timestretching?
Your tutorials are great, the story telling is top tier. Thanks for the hard work, it really helps me learn!

Thanks for the tip man! That makes sense since majority of Live functions can be MIDI mapped. Glad you enjoy my videos 🙏🙏

Needs to be noted that when pressing shift to stretch the audio you need to make sure the warp is on otherwise it wont stretch.

pretty dope!!!!

Once given the warp modes as tools... I cant make music without them! Ive considered going to bitwig, but ableton 12 is too good.
Considering the amount of Bitwig mentions at some point I’ll need to at least try it out. But you’re right, there’s nothing like warp modes 😎
