      FRIGUS nah man, I’m not even close to this skill level but even I can play off the top like this without “rehearsing”. For me tho, I only know guitar and also making drum beats with a midi controller. It’s called Scales. Once you know scales, you can play off the top for hours and it will sound good. Even if this specific video was rehearsed I can guarantee that he can do the same thing off the top. It’s okay buddy, I’m sure you have talents too👍😂

      He's using a Looper for each track (you can assign fixed bars for the Looper device). However, I find the Looper effect quite limiting, so I've created a Max device that allows fixed bar clips. Have fun! www.maxforlive.com/library/device/4490/clip-length

      @debdeepsett5457 6 років тому +6

      What I know about looping live on ableton using midi.
      1. create an empty midi clip in a track and define its length, lets say 2 bars.
      2. If the track is armed and your instrument is connected, turn on Automation.
      3. Now if you play, midi notes will be recorded instantly and played back too. Automation will enable you to rewrite over the clip as much as you wish but if you do a mistake you have to undo that part.

    • @PhelipsRG
      @PhelipsRG 6 років тому +1

      I had the same question for months until i figured out that the ONLY EASY way to do it is with Push, the Ableton midi controller, if you want to record and play a loop on the go, FKJ style, you have to use Push's "fixed lenght" feature, otherwise you have to do it like the guys in the other comments said, create the clip, set the lenght and so on, but you have to do this before playing and cuts your workflow, only with push you can achieve it smoothly... although it cost a bunch of money :/
      But trust me its worth it, specially if you are into live performing, or just to jam to your own loops with little-to-no effort. Hope this helped.

    what i learnt from this video is that i have to be rich enough to have all those equipment, and a sophisticated french language...and dreadlocks.

      You need to learn how to play an/ instrument/s and some//,, some'' music theory. Yes, you can skip learning instruments, ( but you re gonna miss a lot of the feelings from this thing called music ) and learn some music theory, get a DAW ( ableton, cubase, fruity loops etc ), Vst s ( virtual instruments ) and be you! Good luck

      Well, the most expensive thing here is the Rhodes and you can easily find a plug in, the apc and the maschine are cheap so...

    why are none of the clips on the apc40 lit up? i'd like him to explain his clip recording/looping process in further detail.

      i think he uses the looper plugin instead of tracks. cool thing about it is, you can set a fixed length like 4 bars or smt so you dont have to press the button again to stop the recording
