  • Ok, so maybe you don't need to throw your looper pedal AWAY, but I definitely think there's a better way to do it. Here's my method for looping, and remember - if you'd like another video that's more of a How-To for this particular method, let me know in the comments section!

    Thank you. This was extremely helpful. I'm cracking up in the comments 🤣 Everyone has very entertaining opinions. This was just the kind of information I was looking for. I have a home studio, have a band, but want to know how I can play solo shows with more depth than just the guitar vocals. I can't quite slap the bass like you can but I look forward to experimenting!!! I agree that the basic loop pedal can feel restricting, and with this function you're recording some pretty sick jams that can then be manipulated further post gig and exported as a piece for soundcloud or what have you. Great stuff!!! 👍

      EXACTLY!!! I'm glad he has so much expendable cash to throw around on all that equipment and a laptop that might crash to the floor or get stolen whilst loading gear in or out of the venue but I find using two loopers with different features in tandem gives me most of the flexibility I require without laptop anxiety. One above, one below solves the tweaking access problem. Granted, he has worlds of flexibility with all of that but I'm only out a couple of hundred bucks and have more than basic capabilities, hands and floor control, undo and redo on the fly, loop dispersal control ( Ditto4x and EH 25,000), effects, and NO latency.

    You just saved me a splurge on things I don't even need. I was going to get an amp and a new mic and a whole bunch of stupid gear when my homebase has always been studio recording. I feel silly for not thinking of looping using studio software, but I'm so glad I found your video hours before purchasing tonnes of stuff that would never have ended up being used. I felt so overwhelmed with the loop tech and hated the lack of control (and how hard it would be for me to use specific sounds already loaded into Ableton). Thanks for changing my trajectory!

    Looper pedal or not, this is something else. Comparing these two in which one is better all in all is like comparing looping to having things played with a live band.

    This is great! When I started playing bass in the 70s none of this was available. You brought a bass and a huge ass amp and joined a band. The amps were impossible to transport without help. Now you can get a much lighter amp and with the digital technology a bassist can actually perform solo. Victor Wooten actually pioneered this playing a coffee bar in Nashville. Id love to do open mics one day by myself with my fretless.

    This kind of setup is something I've always wanted to try and out and possibly master, for as I feel like it's probably a really fun and interesting avenue to expand my knowledge, growth, and understanding as a musician. Considering the potential for endless possibilities in regards to creativity, I find that's it's likely to be a great way to get over those troublesome feelings of plateauing or lack of progression, that tend to arise every now and again when inspiration may be a bit scarce at that given moment in time, while also simultaneously making practice time more fun and unique. As a mostly self taught bassist, who's minimal gear comprises of a small amplifier, a bass guitar of course, and just a single distortion pedal, having a similar set up with a versatility such as this, would allow someone like myself to have the capability to find new inspiration and ideas that would aid in my learning and creation of music, thanks to the potential increase of tools at my disposal to create with. Sadly, I'm still lacking the equipment and allocated funds for said gear, however any knowledge and insight is always welcome, especially when the price is simply one's investment of time towards the topic.

    • @jas_bataille
      @jas_bataille 6 місяців тому +1

      ...not really. I get what you're saying, but you can do with ableton tons of things that no loop pedal will ever allow, like chaining effects and printing them on a loop and shifting as you go, or creating MIDI triggers that do not necessitate you to press record and stop or to even quantize anything. A pedal is a lot more handy for most people and this stuff takes months to figure out at least. But Ableton is a lot more powerful than any hardware because it's expandable and most people haven't even scratched the surface of it. It can output multitrack to your ethernet or USB port for goodness sake

    • @freddegeus5484

    I've been following thus channel for a while and it's been helping me out so much! I'm using Ableton for live looping guitars, bass, synthesizer and various other instruments. I'm using my Apollo twin and using my MIDI footswitch for easy accessibility and looping. My question is how can I get the best possible sound when I plug in through my PA? Should I be routing my instruments two different outputs? Should I use multiple computers? Should I get a DIY rig? Should I also be playing with my amps?Got any suggestions here for my output sound?

      In this case it's going in/out through the fx loop via the Presonus Studio 26's outputs. In Ableton I set everything to go out of Output 4 and then connect to my fx loop accordingly. I'll explain that in more detail in the next few videos as well so stay tuned Franz!

    I am new to ableton and trying to learn. So far, I have used a boss RC 300. The thing I like with that set up is that I can determine the tempo with the first track that I loop and then build on that with other tracks that sync to the first one. What I'm trying to figure out now is if I can do something similar with ableton instead of playing along with a click from the beginning

    Hey, hello! cool explanation! As you said I already run all the necessary stuff: guitars, usb audio device, Mac, logic, mic and so on, so... I'm here just to ask you how you exactly settle the session down. Could you please explain it in an easy step by step process? Or maybe is not necessary, I mean, you just plug everything in your usb device and you decide the number of bars for the loop and you just go, is it right? But the thing I don't get is that with, for example, logic, if I want to loop something, I have to select a channel, record it, stop it (otherwise I will loop again over the same track), move to another channel/track, record it, and so on... quite hard to do it fast and properly... I suppose I've lost a step of your method of looping... isn't it? please could you clarify it? because I really like the way you loop, but still didn't get it! Thaaaanks!

      @DylanGalvinMusic Рік тому

      yeah, loopers are evolving and some of the described limitations are being eliminated with new features. It's WAY easier to bring a looper than a laptop, ableton and all the gear to set this up. His method is super clean but loopers are growing and will catch up.

  • @smokinmoose2
    @smokinmoose2 4 роки тому +31

    Honestly, I have found, through over fifty years of playing in front of live audiences, that the only ones that care about looping are other musicians. Most people couldn't care less, especially if you are playing covers. If the song is familiar the audience fills in the other instruments with their minds. Better to have great technique and a good voice.

    • @startrekmike
      @startrekmike 3 роки тому +1

      This sounds a awful lot like the "You don't need good gear, tone is in the fingers!" argument and to be honest, it doesn't really hold water. For the most part, looper pedals are not essential for stage musicians but they are cheap enough to be a great solution to the problem of not always having that second guitarist to lay down a basic chord progression or for simply adding other textures via more specialized equipment or effects. It may not be a useful thing for your specific needs as an individual but there are a lot of successful bands and guitarists that lean pretty heavily on loopers and no amount of technique will allow them to do what they do without a looper.

    • @smokinmoose2
      @smokinmoose2 3 роки тому +3

      @@startrekmike Let's say you loop the intro to a song and it's the same as the verses. Great. Now you get to the chorus and that has a completely different chord structure. So you have to stop the loop and voila, the sound just drops out from the full, lush sound you just had to, well, a lot less full and lush, and just when you want the chorus to be MORE full and lush. Then we get to the bridge which is a whole 'nother deal. I've seen this with a lot of solo artists. It may sound dangerously close to Karaoke but why not just pre-record the basic layouts of the songs on, say, your smart phone or iPad and play that back? You could record entire backing tracks! The advantage would be that you could concentrate on your singing and playing and not have to worry about when to stomp on that looper pedal. I know, there are newer pedals that loop realistic bass and drums but what if the song has a signature lick, drum part or bass line and the pedal cannot replicate it? For a lot of us who do cover tunes there is such a wide variety of chord patterns and voicings and changes throughout the songs that I don't think a looper is helpful. Now, if you're one of the artists that records a pattern on a looper and then just builds on that one pattern as you endlessly vamp over it then yeah, it's a great tool. But even then, from what I've witnessed, the first two or three times it's done the audience goes "wow, that's so cool" and after that there mostly "OK, that's a gimmick". OK, I suppose I'm old school but I'd rather play music than play with toys.

    • @deadbeatstudios
      @deadbeatstudios  5 років тому

      Starting to play, no. But in this case I had it set so that it gave me a 4-beat count in, and then every loop began recording at once. All I had to do was play and it set itself to overdub until I turned that function off. It's perfectly automate-able for your situation. Stay tuned and I'll make some more videos on the subject for sure!

    I'm actually here for the Ableton demo. Even though I don't think it's a better way to do it... It's just a different way to do it. Looper pedals have much much less friction... It's easy to pick up a guitar and get jamming right away. You just have to plug the cable in.
    I wanna learn how to do it in Ableton because if I already have my PC running, some of the friction is gone and new DAW skills are nice to have

  • @EchadLevShtim
    @EchadLevShtim 3 роки тому

    I personally never used the looping in Ableton.
    You can easily cheap it up and get an anolog set up and/or cross into digital. Sometimes one of those cheap peices aren't practical like a Jamman. I personally like a pair of korg oscillator for on the fly recording as the 4 bays are easy mash buttons, but you can also import that file to put in automation software like Ableton. Also midi devices like Traktor works well in Ableton to handle the dj mixer aspect when going into digital, though I still have a Analog dj mix too. I like the Kontrol F1 and the Behringer cmd DV-1 for the bells and whistles, where the standard Ableton pad can handle most midi sound clips. I imagine a platter could be programmed to handle the recording controller on Live. Yhe hardest choices usually ends up being a decent drum machine for cheap that fits your flavors.
