Thanks Im gonna turn some guitar sounds into synths. Question...if you get a sound that you want to use in harmony can you set the pitch to middle C or A 440 to mix your new synth sound with keys and violins etc?
These are some of the best ableton tutorials on UA-cam, thank you so much! Instead of "How to make a Skrillex Style Bassline" and stuff which you see so muchhere, you give us an introduction to the tools themselves to get to know your own ideas and style. In no other tutorial does my brain spin off into "Oh! I could use [this] for [that] and then [this other thing]" every 30 seconds
Your tutorials are among the highest quality Ableton tutorials on UA-cam. Very much appreciate your deep dives into the stock instruments and effects. Thank you.
I have ableton lite and wondered how ableton is known for EDM music but it didnt come with a synthesizer. Simpler kinda replaces one though, which is crazy.
@@YoloMonstaaa Ableton Suite has like 5 different synthesizers. And with MAX there is all kinds of 3rd party synths that you can add, most of which are free, and they act almost as if they were a built in ableton instrument. That's why ableton is so versatile.
This might be the most useful ableton video i've ever seen. The amount of value that you introduced here is enormous. I was thinking of buying serum, some synth piano VSTs or whatever, without realizing how much power was right under my nose. I'm never underestimating the power of built-in ableton tools from here on out.
This one blew my mind. I'm not that experienced with Ableton Live and only got the Light Version. I've had a few weeks of not trying something new with it, but after a few seconds of your video you already inspired me to follow along. Using your own voice is such a nice way to make sounds. Thanks for showing!
Seed to Stage is absolutely the best Ableton UA-cam out there by a mile. Watching this to get a refresher. Man why do you need anything else but this? All I can think of is the presets that synths come with, which perhaps gets you there faster. But otherwise, seems like you can literally do anything with Simpler. Sometimes I think I should have saved a lot of money and just got really good at Simpler.
Thanks for the tutorial even if I already knew these techniques, I just wanted to thank you for the sober and immediate style, for the clarity, for not having imposed the vision of your face or for not getting lost in useless speeches. This is a really nice tutorial
Man, hands down. You are the BEST person I have found on YT to explain Ableton plugins. Slynk is second. But you. You go all in and teach me the things I really need to know. Thank you. Point in case, my mentor told me to use simpler on one sample and come up with as many sounds as possible. Your tutorial, out of all the ones I watched (which was a lot) covered the most ground. Again. Thank you!
Before watching this video, for me, simpler was almost a default function that Ableton chose to use when I wanted to performance a particular type of action. But over the past couple of years, simpler has become my favorite plugging to use with Ableton. It is such a powerful synth! I can’t believe what it can do. I would love to see a video that revisits this instrument. You have such a deep understanding of Ableton and a wonderful way of teach it. Thank you so much for making this video. It has changed so much of how I use Ableton.
This is great dude, thank you! I always wondered why intro and lite don't come with a synth since Ableton is popular for electronic music, but this changed my view on that. There's so much potential with the instrument racks that I've never messed with.
Awesome! I followed along and made the same thing. Your good self and Martiln are the clearest intermediate Ableton tutorials. Of course I saved the patch :)
Just bought Ableton (used FL for 6 years) and I'm so fucking hyped to learn everything about it. Just found your channel today and you're gonna be my go-to teacher for now :) Thanks for the good stuff man!
Excellent tutorial. Don't forget that after all of that work to set up the instrument you can save it as a preset by clicking the save button on the instrument rack.
HOLY SMOKES DUDE!!! so I've been watching your videos for about a week and felt it was time to check out your music. that's insane that your from Papadosio. I've been going to your shows for years lol. right on. These tutorials are awesome. I really enjoy your enthusiasm for the craft
Firstly Thank you for taking the time to produce these videos. Secondly you just give the novice (me) so much information without making it too complex. I have gained so many tips and tricks. Have you done a more in depth explanation of midi mapping to things like Push2? Anyway thanks again and please keep up your great work - your a legend!!! Regards Stu
Hey - Awesome tutorial (as usual). Worth noting that you can do all this with any sample in Simpler by retuning it once it's imported. - Import your sample into Simpler - Reduce and loop it to create a tone (as in the tutorial) - Then tune that tone using the 'transpose' and 'detune' functions under the 'Controls' tab - Boom - new sound
abelton has such amazing tools. I wish I woulda known how great the stock plugins in abelton were when I first got it. I might saved a few thousand on plugins that I didn't need.
very helpful video. sometimes it's difficult to see all the fine controls. you pointed out things i hadn't even seen, like shortening the sample and pressing loop, or altering texture, flux and so on. the limitations of eye sight, thanks for pointing out what was in front of my nose all these years and i'd just never noticed. so much small font on devices is often hard to read.
This will be good for me learning. Is the suite worth getting or the lower priced one? I like the way you explain everything in detail. One of the best tutorails I have viewed so far, and i've seen many.
Ayyeee!! Glad you found them!! That's funny you checked that track out. That was the first track I've ever heard by them. Check out "Pool of stars" I've had that one on repeat since that album came out!
They're so good live! He rips on guitar!!! They have a ton of great live footage. Man's juggling abelton, guitar, and modular! Honestly one of the most inspiring group of musicians for me Personally. I just stumbled upon these abelton videos and fan boy'd the f out when I confirmed that it was the same Anthony from papa dose yo
Amazing video. Rewatching to get it to stick but how were you changing your vocal sample's octave, in the beginning. My guitar sample is playing in what seems a stretched wrap tone. Is there a shortcut? and any advice for the sound issue?
Thanks for this video! I have a question though...why in the end did you create a second instrument rack and leave the first one with just one knob instead of filling out the first one?
Great video, but if i have imported fx. An 808 bass into the simpler, and that 808 has a root note in G then how do i change the rootnote in the simpler so that the notes match the notes on a regular keyboard which it ofc should??
That's a cool morphing technique; synth1: min inf dB \\ max 0.0 for one, synth2: min 0.0dB \\ max inf dB. yin yang But when is an example of using Chain via Instrument Rack?
Sorry.I have on question about this , that is when i turn to A basic sine wave,it has a very noisey sound that not belong to a pure sine wave,it just like siiiiiiii keep happenning
I've been watching Ableton videos from you and one other guy and I feel like my head is going to explode need to take a little while to digest it very good information, if you have a cash app address wouldn't mind sending a few bucks very helpful

Pitch? And match a reference looks right.

This guy makes me feel ashamed to spend any money on third party plug-ins...

If you already have live just get saturators, auto filters and trainsient shapers.
@@YoloMonstaaa if you are a student suite is "only" 350 euros
This is honestly one of the best tutorials I’ve ever watched
You, hands down, have the best tutorials on all of UA-cam
I can't believe I haven't seen this sooner. You are an amazing teacher and this advice is perfect. Thank you

You have quickly become my favorite Ableton tutorial guy. Hope your channel gets a big boost soon, you deserve it.
Subbed for the Papadosio folder. My man. Thanks for the tips, this has so much utility!
love your teaching style. definitely buying your course when it's released
Please keep doing these videos man. Really quality tutorials and awesome content 👌

This video is so good, and also your music is also great. Identity Mitosis is sick af - must have listened 100 times. Thanks!
Anthony you are so knowledgeable!! Thank you so much for sharing these amazing ideas. You are the man :)
Your tutorials are realy some of the best for ableton. I would realy love to see a deep dive into Analog and Wavetable. Keep up your nice work.
This is great dude, thank you! I always wondered why intro and lite don't come with a synth since Ableton is popular for electronic music, but this changed my view on that. There's so much potential with the instrument racks that I've never messed with.
Really appreciate these tutorials and tips, big ups to you man!
Awesome! I followed along and made the same thing. Your good self and Martiln are the clearest intermediate Ableton tutorials. Of course I saved the patch :)
Man, you are exceptionally good at teaching. Thank you so much.
Deserved a sub and like for this video alone. Cheers, it was exactly the type of tutorial I was looking for.
I’ve been using wavetable, analog and operator a ton, but haven’t really used Simpler. Thank you for inspiring me to do so!
I’m an Ableton novice and a lot of your material is above my pay grade, but your tutorials are fantastic. Thank you!
Highly interesting and fun to watch, thank you! 👍
Incredible tutorial, as always!
Wow, fantastic lesson! very inspirational ...thank you sir!
Just bought Ableton (used FL for 6 years) and I'm so fucking hyped to learn everything about it. Just found your channel today and you're gonna be my go-to teacher for now :) Thanks for the good stuff man!
Love your videos man. You’re very well spoken
Awesome video! great to see my waveforms being used by you.
Excellent tutorial. Don't forget that after all of that work to set up the instrument you can save it as a preset by clicking the save button on the instrument rack.

With all these amazing tutorials, I am actually curious about the actual music you make!
Look up Papadosio!
@@lifeisjust...amontageofmem6035 dude, thanks so much! Listening to Find Your Cloud. Great track!
Ayyeee!! Glad you found them!! That's funny you checked that track out. That was the first track I've ever heard by them. Check out "Pool of stars" I've had that one on repeat since that album came out!

Plant the seeds of life 🌲💙
Thanks🎼
We have already done this 30 years ago on Commodore Computers and Trackers such as Protracker ;) ( Chiptune Music )
Dude i fucking love this tutorial
awesome, many thanks ...haha, makes me also realize, I probably spent too much money on 3rd party synth vst's.
Amazing video. Rewatching to get it to stick but how were you changing your vocal sample's octave, in the beginning. My guitar sample is playing in what seems a stretched wrap tone. Is there a shortcut? and any advice for the sound issue?
Thanks for this video! I have a question though...why in the end did you create a second instrument rack and leave the first one with just one knob instead of filling out the first one?
Great video, but if i have imported fx. An 808 bass into the simpler, and that 808 has a root note in G then how do i change the rootnote in the simpler so that the notes match the notes on a regular keyboard which it ofc should??
nice! I used to do this before we got the Wavetable synth with custom wavetables... which is essentially this but with way better modulation
Anyone know why I’m missing the amplitude envelope - time - mode at the top? Thanks in advance
so insane
How can I switch keytrack off on simpler
how do you listen to the audio from simpler? I press "Spacebar" key but I don't hear anything.
you play it, like any midi instrument
That's a cool morphing technique;
synth1: min inf dB \\ max 0.0 for one,
synth2: min 0.0dB \\ max inf dB. yin yang
But when is an example of using Chain via Instrument Rack?
excuse me why my sample cant turn on when i put in simpler ?
Sorry.I have on question about this , that is when i turn to A basic sine wave,it has a very noisey sound that not belong to a pure sine wave,it just like siiiiiiii keep happenning
Great tutorial indeed! Those who gave this a thumbs down, go sit yourself face first in a corner...

Same things are possible for sampler?
oh yeah and much more
This is free?
Btw I've been on your Facebook just waiting for the next workshop.
It's a "sen" :,)
I heard you liked instrument racks...🤣
"pornomento" its portamento dude!~
