I'm wondering if there's a way to do this without using one of the sends? I'm guessing there is but I'm having trouble routing audio back to itself without using the send channel as you described. I'm used to working in modular so I would typically just throw a mixer in there to combine the input signal (in this case vinyl distortion) with the output of the delay before sending it back to the input, but there aren't really patchable mixers in Ableton. Any ideas? I'd love to experiment with feedback but keep the send channels free for other stuff.
love ableton from this modular standpoint
it really is so powerful!
This is super fun, thanks for the post! I like what you said at the end about sampling/chopping. I want to drop a clip into Simpler and run a sequencer through it!
@@CoreyLaGray share any results please!
Good stuff, though I've found that the limiter inside the feedback loop adds latency and colours the sound. So I'd say people try with and without it to see which you prefer the sound of. Definitely keep the master limiter though.
true the limiter will colour the sound, as essentially it is cutting the top off anything that goes through the threshold turning sin waves (or whatever else) into square waves, which means of course it adds a whole bunch of harmonics.
hey nicholas, just discovered your channel and im loving it so far! im trying to come up with ideas for running generative audio with a live orchestra, receiving their audio and responding to it. would love if you had any input on that!
that's a big project, and very cool! if you have time with the orchestra there's all sorts of things that you could plan for and try in the moment. To answer your question it would really depend on the goal. Are they playing written notes or graphic score or improvising? Is there a harmonic framework? What is the end result? Initially I would try live looping / manipulating bits to see where the meeting point of live / electronic sound could be!
@@nicholasthayer5076 ideally its a written out score that they play, including having a harmonic framework. and the goal is the patch i create will just be running and doing its own thing during the performance! i want to be as hands off with it as i can be. I fortunately do have the ability to sit in with them during rehearsals, so there are lots of things i could try
though having some improvisation from the band could be cool too, since the patch would also be "improvising" to its own extent.
thank you for responding so quickly!
@@andrewlazarus5739 sounds really cool! I would identify some things that are cool to manipulate and the parameters of what those need to be (i.e. does it work better manipulating long notes or phrases? single instruments or complex lines?) and then work those things into the score. Good luck!
