Just wanted to say how much I'm enjoying your videos - so pleased to see someone making Ableton tutorials focused on ambient/experimental sounds. Psyched for the tape one.
In that case check out the 'Probability Pack' from Ableton (under 'places', packs are on the left sidebar menu). Some fun things in there for randomising.
I love this tutorial, thank you! I love Ableton. Even though I only have 11 Intro so far, I'm saving for Standard, and later, Suite. Beautiful sounds and vibes too.
Thanks, pleased you like it. I think it's coming up to 2 years I've been using Ableton and I love it, session view keeps getting better for me, makes me more creative and able to try different things. Non-linear production is definitely the way for me.
@@musicprodstuff - Awesome, I can't wait. My favorite Eno track is Chamber Lightness. I have been trying to deconstruct that for a long time. I have been enjoying your videos, but I will admit sometimes you go a little fast, and it can be a bit hard to follow. Having said that, they are very useful videos thanks for the content!
Brilliant video. Great channel. Subscribed! I am looking forward to have a look at the other videos, but I will start from here. Excited to figure out similar results using Presonus Studio One when I am home using my computer. Greetings from Germany! -Devin
@@droconnor I love Granulator 2, also in Reason there's Torsion by Lectric Panda - I haven't figured it out yet but the random button gives some amazing results.
Another great video. I second the comment about Ableton videos. Great to see some decent Ableton vids from you. When I think about the word generative I quickly go to generations and that leads me to feedback. I wonder if there is a way in Ableton to do kind of midi feedback as a source of generative midi?? I feel like automated or randomised is a better word to describe a lot of the Ableton midi effects??
Thank you. Good point, I think the lines are blurred sometimes. Generative I think of as the result of a system, which is technically what's happening but would be better applied to something like a M4L device filled with probabilities. This is probably more randomised like you say. I've done audio feedback with the Basinski video, which was a very unique and interesting to destroy the sound. I'll have a look at the midi side but I think it'll be a mad load of on/off information that'll need a filter - which may have the same effect as painting a load of notes and adjusting chance.
Loved the video, mate.... (Subbed!) I have a question..... When you are using multiple chains in an effect rack how (or by what device) are you nominating which chain is triggered? I know there is a 'chain select' fader but it doesn't appear that you are doing it that way?
I usually use chain select and I've got a Push2 that I use for the knob twiddling parts. In the generative stuff though you use the velocity device to randomly select a velocity every time a note is played, then you have a series of chains (as many as you want) that only respond to a certain velocity range (you can set the range for example to 10 and the lowest to 1, then copy and set the next one to a rang of 10 and the lowest as 11 and so on). From there you just build whatever you want for the rest of the chain. Can be fun using loads of different effects in this way too.
@@musicprodstuff ahhhh.... of course! Makes sense..... I guess I'm just too accustomed to assigning the chain selector to a macro and controlling it that way..... thanks again.... cracking video... Very inspiring. 👍
@Steve, Thank you for the video and tutorial 😊 I found the samples and project files in the downloads section. The project file only seems to contain only stems though. Where would I find the project files for the chains that generate the sounds?
I don't think I added this project, just the other Eno one which has all the samples. Think it's because I used a few different projects to show different techniques, and I had a crash yesterday with full reinstall, not sure I backed this one up.
@@musicprodstuff Thats a shame… such a beautiful sounding setup. I will try to go through the video and see if I can duplicate it. If you do happen to find the backup, would there be a possible to download it from your site?
@@musicprodstuffHello Steve! I have spent the better part of the day replicating this setup, and was wondering if you would be interested in a copy, since you lost yours in a computer crash?
@@NexxuSixThant's kind of you thanks, but I am the sort of the person that will remake it to remind myself of the process and then try and make improvements :)

Thank you! I'm having a lot of fun making them and learning new things.
This is perfect for me, as I'm just starting on exactly this path.

Great Channel
Thank you.
Awesome! I would love to see you take on Eno's tape loop work!
On it as I type :)

@@kbowman0016 That's very helpful feedback, I do feel I may be fast sometimes so it's good to have that said. I'll take a look into Chamber Lightness!
awesome tutorial
Beautiful gernerativ ambient!!Thanks for sharing.Great work.Feels like modular synth.Sub✌
Thanks, hope you have some fun with thew techniques!
great tips!
This is a brilliant video, just what I’ve been looking for. Keep up the amazing work - subscribed. Thanks for your help 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you :)
Seriously brilliant tutorial !
Thanks, I'm uploading the next in the Eno series today looking at his tape loops.

Thank you very much :) nice to have you here. Let me know if there's any other content you would like to see. Hope it all translates over to Presonus.
Cool technique. I use the Emit instrument but this is interesting too.
Oh wow, just played with Emit, it's awesome. There's just so much in Ableton, I haven't got through many of the packs yet.
@@musicprodstuff yeah there’s a ton! Granular synths are great for lush generative ambiences.

@@airfixx_8952 Yeah me too, this is an interesting way to do it differently. I can send the project over if that's helpful for you?
@@musicprodstuff - I'm good thanks.... I like to work through these things myself. 🙂
@@airfixx_8952 I feel you, I have to get how things work, I can barely even bring myself to use anything from a sample pack.
