    02:39 made me think of that scene in The Office when Jim is dressed up as Dwight and he says "Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica"

    can this system work like arranger keyboards like korg pa, yamaha psr? Please guide me

      If I understand your question correctly, yes. Anything which will receive a MIDI input, you can trigger by sending MIDI out of the Ableton Live sequencer

    I love the zooming in. That part of it I have never used cause I have so little info on it.

    • @JackLaidlaw
      @JackLaidlaw  7 років тому

      Hey, thanks for watching. To zoom in I'm holding down the ctrl key and scrolling the mouse, that's for a Mac, I'm not sure what the Windows equivalent would be but I'm sure it exists.....

    • @rawstarmusic
      @rawstarmusic 7 років тому

      Very few zoom in while recording a screencast! Many have big monitors and screen it full size thinking that is impressive. As a viewer you never know where the cursor is, what is written in the boxes. In professional tutorials they have to zoom though but the amateurs don't. In Ableton there is a lot of important stuff in these text boxes so showing it is the right thing to do.

    • @JackLaidlaw
      @JackLaidlaw  7 років тому +1

      Indeed. I am recording most of these tutorials whilst I am delivering sessions on a Music Technology degree so I am constantly zooming in to draw attention to specific parts of the GUI.

      Thanks Ben, feel free to submit a request for something you might find more useful.

    • @peruvianpal
      @peruvianpal 7 років тому

      I feel like you could do a launch box/warp modes/ etc tutorial for working with samples, and say mention tips on how you could use each. I.e: Warp modes can be great for something like transposing samples, while the launch box is great in session view for something like chord progressions

    • @JackLaidlaw
      @JackLaidlaw  7 років тому +1

      Thanks for the suggestion Ben. I have uploaded two tutorials on warping, they are here ua-cam.com/video/zY1Xd0zq1_0/v-deo.html and here ua-cam.com/video/IoTM106Cwe0/v-deo.html
      Hopefully you will get what you need from them, if not, let me know.

    Can you use that chords and record with your own timing just by pressing the chords?

    • @JackLaidlaw
      @JackLaidlaw  4 роки тому +1

      Yep, record them as MIDI clips and then follow the tutorial

    I'm wearing ear buds, and boy... when you slap that space bar it thunders through ur keyboard, down your internal mic and punishes my eardrums. Please use an external mic not attached to the same surface as your mac!

    • @JackLaidlaw
      @JackLaidlaw  7 років тому +2

      Hi Andrew. It's difficult for me to do this as I am delivering to a entire room of students on a Music Technology degree. I will look into it, though, thanks for the feedback.

    You could make a midi clip with the scale in it and just drag it into your scales and chords folder and it will save it just as a ALC file and save you the space and extra folders. Dope tut though

    • @JackLaidlaw

    How did you create your E Major Chords.als file ? When I do it I only end up saving 1 als clip vs several als clips like yours.

    • @JackLaidlaw
      @JackLaidlaw  6 років тому

      Hey Dwight. If you drag an entire track to the browser area, it should save an .als file (Ableton Live Set) which contains the track and all the clips on that track. Check this tutorial: ua-cam.com/video/DTcttYkIzT8/v-deo.html

    Easier. Just trigger chords into a recording midi track and play in as whatever length or certain chord
