there are so many acapella warp tutorials on youtube but this is by far the clearest and most effective one! Thank you!
Sweet. Another tip, especially if you are working with acapellas that are not already from a synced source (classic rock for example). Turn the grid off and warp to the sound of the metronome. This also has the effect that your version of the acapella will be "unique" and not just an exact rhythmic copy of the original tune.
he's never heard of ellie goulding
lol sick
+Jowie DeJohns lol so sick
Too busy workin his tracks dude, dont have time to listen others. ithink its kinda common among producers that have to work their asses of to get a good mix. As a producer Focus is extremly important! And you can clearly see that this guys got it.
yeah i produce too and also am aware ellie goulding somehow
Jowie DeJohns Same here, but sometimes we live under our producer rocks coz we need to finalize stuff ;)
Coincidentally trying to make an Ellie Goulding - Lights remix and watched this video because I'm new to Live. I kinda lol'd when he said he'd never heard of her.
Best warping tutorial I’ve watched yet. Saved for reference.
Yes...he's a great instructor. There are many ways to do things and he does a awesome job showing that in his tuts
You make it so easy! I was trying to warp the music " I took a pill in ibiza " for 2 weeks, and i was destroying the song, haha!
This was a very useful tutorial, thank you very much, Dubspot.
CDE - Paraguay
thanks Barack!
i have been producing for about 8 years and really appreciate your video man . I love how well you explain and how you sound like Obama , I feel like the president is teaching me tutorials . the best tip I took away from this was holding down shift and moving the whole sample ! thank you
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. I was really struggling to figure out how to do this for weeks now and suddenly I totally get it because of this!
You are the only one after several tutorials, that came with the only simple solution to a very well known problem. Thanks mate, you made my day.
Thank you! I always get stuck on this - weird how ableton is so powerful and yet so unintuitive in areas like this. The detailed walkthrough was really helpful.
lol., "happy accidents abound". Good stuff man. Concise and easy to follow.
First warping video i've found that is very clear and easy to follow. Thank you good sir.
This is probably the most useful tutorial Ive found since I keep coming back to it.
Man you helped me a lot with this technique. Usually I have no troubles warping vocals but I was stuck with one project and this tip works super good many thanks.
best warping video ever totally clear now
I wanna thank you for making this video. I've been using acapellas and when it started to drift off beat I was doing slices and cuts to keep it on beat using the slave and follow feature on the acapella to match the beat. I subscribed because of this video. Thanks alot. 👍
Only video that worked for me. Thank you so much.
Nice trick! I’m gonna adapt it to my sampling process. Thanks for your effort.
LEGEND!! You just saved me from pulling out my hair with this remix I'm working on.
my dude thank you really helped me warp these vox from 78 to 128 the best i could you rock brotha
It might be a few years old this taught me much about time stretch and warping of vocals.
This is almost exactly how I do this now after you helped me back in Level 5 of the Ableton course with my hardcore track that used Chicago vocals :)
Man this turned my 7-8 hr trouble of pulling my hair into a pleasant 30 min listening session. 🙏🏾
Thavius Beck Good tutorial. The whole approach was inspiring..
Genius We Need A Dubspot Baltimore
Thanks for the guide, I've been having a real headache trying to warp a 150 bpm acapella into a 170 bpm. Hopefully this guide will help, Much appreciated.
Thank you thank you Thank, i just spent the last two hours trying to figure this out....thank you
When using known acapella's, it's much easier and quicker to find the original bpm using Beatport, set the project bpm to match, then set 1.1.1 as you have in this instance making sure the acapella is warped straight from that point. Then adjust your project bpm to the desired tempo. Takes a fraction of the time, seriously.
Hope this helps.
What if the original vocal is lets say 85bpm but your project is around 124?
@@thxrxxlmx it's all relative so doesn't affect the principle in any way. Change the tempo of your track to 85, add the acapella to start in the correct place using 1.1.1 (as shown in this tutorial), then once it's working and sitting right at 85bpm, simply adjust your master tempo to 124.
@@thxrxxlmx the key is, at 85bpm the acapella doesn't need to be warped right? So adjust the track tempo to 85bpm, get the vocals to sit right and hit warp so it will keep its timing once you adjust the track tempo
@G.O.A.T CHANNEL some vocals start on the off-beat and some on the down-beat. Some start ON the beat..
If the acapella is structured 4/4, you should expect each verse to begin and end on (let's say), each 8 bars. If it ends too soon, and you've warped the timing correctly, maybe you have the acapella coming in too soon - and visa versa.
Does that make sense, and did it answer your question?
@G.O.A.T CHANNEL you're welcome!
Awesome tutorial. thanks so much for making this. remixing will be a lot easier now!
Couldn’t figure out from other tutorials (I’m dumb) but this worked. Thank you!
This tutorial is bang on point and has helped me immensely! Thank you so much Thavius!!! 🙏🏻
Very nice approach! In a sense this is similar to manual beat matching. You find a reference point like the kick and then stretch (change tempo) to make the rest of the beats to match. I am using this method from now on.
If only you knew how much this video saved my life haha thank you so much.
Ellie Goulding?, never heard of him
It was super useful. Thank you, now I am a wrapping grand-master
This was very helpful, many thanks.
Ah thank you Thavius! This was exactly what I was looking for. Very helpful!
Solved every problem I was having with this! Thank you!
This is exactly what I was searching for!!! Thank you.
Exactly what I was looking for. Helped me a lot, thank you!
I come back to this tut from time to time lol ... Helpful
Wow! I am so glad that ***** made this video!!! I am definitely going to use this technique!!!
You're a legend. Thank you for doing God's work
i'm your 1,200 like! :D and this is proper warping and really has been working for me, thanks!
Very good tutorial. This is really simple. I have dominated warping instruments, but acapellas used to be a hard work.
Just the tutorial I've been looking for - thanks man this has really helped!
Great tutorial, even 10 years later.
Thank you
BRO THE ENTIRE TIME I'M FOLLOWING THIS VIDEO ALL I CAN THINK IS NEIL DEGRASSE TYSON IS TEACHING ME PRODUCTION LMAO!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
You're mistaken, it's Obama!
Sweet! Ellie is one of my favorites
THAVIUS IS GOD also he sounds like obama
Solid tutorial man! Thanks for breaking this down
You are the man... !!!! thanks.
Quick question:
Why did he adjust the formants?
Just for effects :)
Great tutorial bro 👏🏽
The best acapella site I've found is DJPortal, or DeejayPortal. Theres thousands on there! Its been my one stop shop, I love taking little bits of acapellas to use as one shots.
Thank You very much. I never knew how to do it.
Thank you so much, Thavius.
thanks, Thanos, glad you're getting into soft instead of...well...
Three quick questions, if anyone can answer:
1. Is he shift clicking everytime he moves the track, or just the first time and then he's only moving the warp markers?
2. What was that little thing he did with the Formants after setting to Complex Pro at 16:10?
3. He was happy that the key matched pretty well, what would I do if it didn't?
OH MY GOD THAVIUS BECK IS A DUBSPOT INSTRUCTOR???
Most helpful tutorial I watched for Ableton so far, many thanks!
this was by far one of the most frustrating videos ive attempted to learn since i started music production a little less than 1 year ago. theres no correct way to sample, there is what the paths that the technology allows you to take and the limits to each of those methods...its really about finding your own way. i really had to sit down with this one and think my way through it. very worth rewatching (a few times ;)! one of the better vids on sampling out there in general tho, theres a few select pieces of info that were "gatekeeping" me from understanding the art itself....the hard part for me was figuring out how to count perfectly shaped bars and determining which word lands on which beat. to others: try working with several different samples/styles....when i used the exact ellie goulding song to attempt this it didn't work, trying a different song using this method did. try try and try again........
Such a great tutorial - worked a treat thanks!!!
This great, but what if you're working with an older acapella where the singer wasn't singing to a click?
Thank you so much Thavius!
Hey Thavius! thanks so much for the great tutorial. The only place you lost me was at the end when you adjusted the formats and envelope number. What do those do and why did you adjust them to those specific numbers?
Thanks,
DJMerav
(ANYBODY FEEL FREE TO POST YOUR KNOWLEDGE ON MY QUESTION)
Great Video Sir !
Kick ass tut,,,..wow learned so much that I DID NOT KNOW
Absolutely Beautiful! Appreciate You Bro!
great technique, saved me a lot of time
As a begginer, this video was actually very fucking useful tbh
Nice! tks from Brasil
thanks so much for this!
that video was very helpful! greetings from a beginner.
He sounds like President Obama.
+osk3i Welcome Sherlock!
omfg so true just noticed that LOL
Obama is a bit slow :) ... this one goes at good tempo :)
i was trying to warp nadia ali- rapture acapella from past 2 days! placed like 10 markers but nothing!
fuck it wasn't working. and i saw this video. man oh man! it took one word to warp the whole thing.
mi amore dont you know" just this one word warped the whole thing..
thank you so much dude!
Great video.
amazing tutorial, thank you sir!
Really Great Tutorial !
Thank you so much!!!
excellent explaining ,thanks !
damn...he does'nt know who is ellie goulding... I guess he was in cryo sleep for ten years.. J/k Thavius Sir Loved ur tutorial tho.
Second that he's been under a rock if he hasn't heard her, even back then
He's maybe just not into mainstream shit.
Suba ok? i'm not into country but I know who Keith Urban and Rascal Flatts are? just saying that's a pretty big name to be ignorant to within a genre not-so-far-off from one's he seems to like since he obviously used the acapella.
maybe he's just not into shit XD
It seems odd indeed and I get your point but the world you see is not the world other people see. What seems obvious for you might not be for other people.
great instructions
Legend! thank you
precious (about auto-warp)
Thanks so much!
Can't thank you enough sir!!
Awesome Tutorial
You Sir Are a great tutor!
tNice tutorialngs work. I do read so stuff in the manual but there is a lot, or I try to find tNice tutorialngs on youtube. So more help will be appreciated.
Well Explained Thank you
great video! thank u! god bless.
Excellent tutorial! Thank you very much. I'll try it. But i got a piece of acapella playing along with a guitar and the tempo is not straight linear. But i will try to match/warp that....
gold
Now the beat of the acapella is in his point, but the SEG BPM is in 98.87 and my tempo is in 112 it is okay?
Great Tut Love it, quick question. I noticed you upped the formants. May I ask what was the reason :)
Very nice teaching, please give some links, where to get good voices from, would be nice. Greatings from Germany
Thank you for this good lesson ! Can you use the acapellas for your productions without having problems with the composer (rights etc.)?Thanx.
