Looping is just a delay (echo) with 100% feedback. We studied delay loops in the early 70s, using two reel to reel tape recorders like Delia Derbishire's experiments. Brian Eno made it popular collaborating with Robert Fripp and called it "Frippertronics."
It's even more fun when you put different effects inside of the feedback loop. My channel isn't actively making new content anymore but I did make a tutorial on how to do that.
This guy. Shares next level technical insights and patches to immediately put them to use. Makes better looking videos than most courseware I've paid for. And has a totally Audible or ASMR ready voice. Hey Spotify where's his $100 million contract? :D Excellent stuff once again Tom :)
Totally agree! And finally a tutorial where the volume difference between the music and the voice is just nice, compared to unbearable and unacceptable in other tutorials. Nice man!
I ACTUALLY LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!! I've been making shitty beats for a couple of months now and not sure where tf to look for super accessible tutorials. You've gotten me excited about producing again, an absolute legend!
The number of subscriptions you have should be five times the amount you're currently at. I've only recently rediscovered my passion for music production again at the age of 39 and I find your content so well put together and important for the community. Thank you, Sir.
You somehow manage to combine the best tips, in the clearest manner, with the highest production quality and perfect pace. You're setting the bar way high, Tom 👏👏
2:25 You can create an effect rack to get around the problem with phasing problems: The effect rack should have 3 chains: Left - one Utility set to left channel mode Right - one Utility set on Stereo with the phase of right channel switched + Delay on 100% wet Dry - empty This is the same technique iZotope uses on Mode 1 in their Ozone Imager plugin
This wisdom is unbelievable. Even for a beginner like me, this just makes sense. Now I know what those complex sound are made of. Thank you for this and all the stuff you teach man.
Thank you so much. I switched from Reaper to Ableton recently and the number two thing I missed was Reapers Pitch shifter plugin. I am definitely going to be using the grain delay as a pitch shifter.
Wow! So great so good,right to the point,but adding the necessary technical stuff and warnings for the inexperienced ones.You are such a good and generous teacher. Blessings.
Your content is some of the best ! Ive been using HAAS effect for ages and didnt know lol i figured myself at some point, checked my phase correlation and thought was a good idea.
That lofi piano loop is dope! I would like to hear it finished as a track. Thank you for another amazing video. Just by hearing your voice I get excited about what follows. My favorite Live tracher.
You are a godsend. Thank you so very much for all these amazing creative ways to use stock plugins. It just goes to show that you don't need to buy every plugin out there to achieve cool or creative results. I wish I had your type of content long ago before I sank tons of money into third party stuff. Thank you thank you thank you
Echo as a looper is a game changer! I guess you could halve your project tempo and play double time to get longer loops. Export and use in a more uptempo project. Awesome stuff!
Exactly. If my calculations are correct, if you slow the Tempo down to the minimum (20BPM) and set Echo's delay length as long as possible then you can get loop lengths of 12s long.
Hey! UA-cam tip: If you add a 00:00 timestamp as your first timestamp in your description, UA-cam will add them on the player timeline (it's a fairly new feature called Chapters).
Yeah, I noticed, thanks 😊 I published this video before the Chapters thing was announced, so I just need to find the time to go back and add it to all my videos!
Awesome video. Some truely clever ideas for using Ableton delay devices "outside the box", very clearly explained. Wish I could give this video a handful of fingers up instead of just one thumb. *Thumbs up*
Mono checking can be done on the master effect chain, specifically after all processing. mapping to a hotkey like ] or [ makes it easier to check your mix/design choices for mono compatibility while minimizing the intrusion of adding a utility to every instance. Conversely, adding a dim hotkey (-9 or -12dB) to your master channel helps to break the vibe and check if your mix is good at lower levels (wouldn't suggest during production because, you could kill the vibe).
Gotta let you know, this has been a joy to watch. I am definately going to take some time messing around with these techniques! Great video, thank you so much. Keep doing it :)
Hey this was a great video! That piano loop gave me some inspiration as well as you playing around with the vocals at the end. Quick, concise, and super informative. I'll be checking out more of your videos for sure!
Another fun thing you can do with the Echo is to play around with the Noise and make it feedback into itself and then changing the morph parameter. Remember to use a Limiter after the plugin so you dont blow your ears/gear

Wowzers, didn't know the echo is so powerful 🤯
don't you think 9:38 sounds a bit like Is It Cold In The Water?
@@diegofeliperinc I was thinking the exact same thing !
@@diegofeliperinc in fact I think this is the most "how to flume" tutorial ever! this is sooo cool!
okaaay sooo check it
Someone here watches Underbelly
I would have never thought to use Echo as a looper, that blew my mind
Yeah, that one had me WTF ing out loud. Very cool trick. All of them for that matter.
To say the truth, basically all loopers are just echo devices...

@@ELPHNT yes please keep em coming! these are such a high quality digestible videos and make me want to load up my ableton and get creative!
Totally agree! And finally a tutorial where the volume difference between the music and the voice is just nice, compared to unbearable and unacceptable in other tutorials. Nice man!
Yep top content
Very inspiring and very well presented 🔥🔥💪😊
You and Mr.Bill really spoil the Ableton community. Thanks for sharing information that can help music makers actually creative.
Using Echo as an analog looper is such a cool idea!
I have the best music contents check me out
@@DidierBampiliMusicProduction you really sold yourself well with that one
@@dingostarr Yes! I did
I ACTUALLY LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!! I've been making shitty beats for a couple of months now and not sure where tf to look for super accessible tutorials. You've gotten me excited about producing again, an absolute legend!
Yay! 🥳
I have been vastly underutilizing Live, thank you for continuously enlightening me
The number of subscriptions you have should be five times the amount you're currently at. I've only recently rediscovered my passion for music production again at the age of 39 and I find your content so well put together and important for the community. Thank you, Sir.
ELPHNT hints are leveling up with every new video. Love it!

Echo is one of the greatest delay plugins to ever exits
Videos are not often published on your channel, but when they appear, the charge of inspiration remains for a long time. Thanks!
That gotta be the smoothes mouse movements I've seen in an Ableton tutorial. Nice work man!
Thanks, excellent video
That grain delay tip is a killer
Watched this 3 times already I can’t tell you how much this helped me and also this was perfect timing. Thank you
I have the best music contents check me out
As always another perfect explanation of hoe to use Ableton tools
I loved the grain delay effect, thank you!
Excellent demonstration! Great stuff here.
I also logged in to say: analog looper idea is brilliant. Love the grain delay too. Always great quality content thanks.
This video is the most creative ableton video I've ever seen.
Nice one ! many thanks
Not only do you offer really valuable tips with ableton your video and prodcution are top notch. Thank you and well done!
Thank you
Brilliant tutorial
I have the best music contents check this out
cant tell you how much i appreciate this
This wisdom is unbelievable.
Even for a beginner like me, this just makes sense. Now I know what those complex sound are made of.
Thank you for this and all the stuff you teach man.
im absolutely blown away by your tutorials. getting the most out of the stock plugins helps while im learning. thanks for all you do!
Oh my god that piano loop was incredible!
Fantastic video, thank you!
Thank you so much. I switched from Reaper to Ableton recently and the number two thing I missed was Reapers Pitch shifter plugin. I am definitely going to be using the grain delay as a pitch shifter.
wow! that was really useful! big thanks!
That was great. Thanks. I also like the track itself
I'm still working on it - hopefully have it finished soon! 😊
So glad to have found you on the tube. You dropping gems
To relay your knowledge like this is a skill
Thank you for constant goodness
Top notch content, thanks for existing
Top stuff, Delay is my favourite effect due to it's versatility , this video explains that so well, thanks for sharing.
Wow! So great so good,right to the point,but adding the necessary technical stuff and warnings for the inexperienced ones.You are such a good and generous teacher. Blessings.
What a fantastic explanation of phasing issues with your first clap example here!
another extraordinary high class video from elphnt. Gratulation. I didn’t expect that from echo.... keep on doing ....
Was surprised to see you only have 50K subs with the quality of your videos. You deserve more!
Your content is some of the best ! Ive been using HAAS effect for ages and didnt know lol i figured myself at some point, checked my phase correlation and thought was a good idea.
Valhalla's UberMod was the first delay that showed me how Delay can literally do everything, especially with automation.
Yeah, delays are pretty beastly. Technically algorithmic reverbs are also actually just lots of delays.
Amazing tutorial once again
Best 15mnts of learning! ❤
That lofi piano loop is dope! I would like to hear it finished as a track. Thank you for another amazing video. Just by hearing your voice I get excited about what follows. My favorite Live tracher.
yes
Your tips are indispensable. Your masterclass y’all was also fantastic. Thanks for digging so deep into Live for all of us.
Great ideas thank you 🥰
thank u brodie, was really unmotivated and uninspired lately, the way you edit your videos also inspires me ❤️❤️
Your Lounge piano preset is hauntingly beautiful men. Awesome insight on the Ableton reverbs ❤
What a video, pure knowledge and great ideas will be added to my work thanks to you !
Keep up the great work your the one 💪
Fantastic once again. Such a great teacher. That Echo looping technique was wonderful and so useful. Thank you

Such a pleasure! I mean, there's nothing wrong with 3rd party stuff, so you'll still get good use out of it I'm sure 😊
Another super excellent video. Thank you! Your videos are more valuable than almost any other Ableton tutorial out there.
You are a tremendous teacher. Thank you for everything you do!
Your lessons on youtube are AMAZING!
Thank you so much for sharing! :)
