Thankssss, literal angel🙏🙏🙏
You're welcome! ☺️
Great stuff! Fast and clear, thank you!
Wow i love your tutorials❤️🔥
Omg!!! THANK YOU! 🙏🙌🏼☀️
You're welcome! :)
This is a fantastic video, by far the best breakdown of the Ableton drum rack I've seen over the years on UA-cam; nice work!!
Thank you! I really appreciate it. :)
holy moly that move with the receive and play stuff i was searching for ! great job saved me ^^
Glad you found it useful! :D Thanks for watching. :)
Really good tutorial, learnt some new things about sends & chains I didn’t know 👏
Glad you learnt some things! Thanks for watching! :D
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great lesson. Thanks
You're welcome! Thanks for watching. :)
This video was very useful. Thanks
You're welcome! :)
your videos are fantastic i love how you explain things def subscribing
Thanks so much! Really glad you like the videos, plenty more coming! Thanks for watching and welcome. :)
@@matttinklermusic thank you for the great content brother
Nice advice. Cheers
You're welcome! Thanks for watching. :D
Спасибо!
Oh my gawd. How did I not know about extracting chains? Game changer for me.
Very useful!!
Nice one, subbed
Thanks! :)
Good info g
Thanks! Glad you found it useful! :)
Super great, as usual. Minutes 10:30-12:30 are dense. A bit mindblowing. But you do a great job overall of explaining the device.
Thanks Dave! It's hard to be efficient in explaining such a complicated device in its entirety without being a little bit info-dense, but I'm glad that you found it interesting and useful nonetheless! Thanks for watching. :)
@@matttinklermusic For sure! Didn't mean to come off wrong. It's an amazing primer (if not complete one-stop reference) and I feel liike it sythesizes (pun intended) the Ableton manual in such a great way. I'd much rather watch you explain things than RTFM (althought I do believe that is helpful, nay necessary). The test of my learning is the speed at which I can comprehend and keep up. So I'm proud I made it as far without my eyes starting to cross. Glad I found your channel through wonders of the YT algorithm. I look forward to it. Keep it up, please :)
cool vid
Thank you! :)
Hey man, cool video and really accessible for neewbies like me. I've been wanting to get started with some kind of groovebox, but I've been reading that I might as well just use Ableton live, which I alread own. I prefer the feeling of an instrument, so what's a good controller to use with drum rack. I was looking at Push 3, but costs $2k which is rediculous for my needs. Have you tried anything else like the novation controllers?
Thanks for the kind words and I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
The Push 3 is an amazing instrument that doesn't really have any comparison when it comes to Ableton Live integration. That said, the novation stuff is great. If you want to be able to sequence stuff on the controller itself, you'll need to look at something like the Launchpad Pro, because the other Launchpad don't have sequencing capabilities. If you just want to be able to record yourself playing a pattern, the normal Launchpad should do just fine. You could then pair this with something like a Launchkey to add some extra hands on controls and a keyboard.
The other option is to look at getting a second hand Push 2, which is still a fantastic piece of kit! ☺️
I love this. Does anyone know how I can put the sounds I gave "extract string" back into a drum rack?
Unfortunately there's not a quick way to do this. I actually don't use the 'extract chains' feature very often because of this (and a few other reasons), so I will often just duplicate the track then solo the sounds I want on each of the duplicates.
If you want to put it back into the original drum rack, you'd have to drag the chain from the new drum rack to the old drum rack, then copy over the MIDI in the clips.
Thanks for watching! :)
I remember when I used Ableton 10 I could simply drag a drum kit to a cell in session view and it would play exactly like the preview for that drumkit, then I could see all sounds of that drumkit pattern also play in the drum rack and change the drum rack directly in real time as it was playing that drumkit preview pattern. Was I hallucinating? Because I can't seem to do this anymore in Ableton 12. What am I missing?
You're potentially thinking of importing clip (.alc) files instead of a drum rack preset file (.adg). Clip files contain clip information as well as device information. Importing a device file won't load up a clip with a preview, just the device on the track. :)
@@matttinklermusic You're probably right, it was so long ago that I used Ableton 10 then I went to FL Studio and skipped Ableton 11, but now that I have 12 I will check again. Thanks man!
how do you 16 level pitch/velocity for one sample in Live like every other sampler? thanks
Do you mean in terms of having 16 different samples on one pad that are split by velocity?
@@matttinklermusic No, one sample pitched up and down the keyboard so you can play it.
Ah, you'll want to load the sample into a simpler or sampler device and not use drum rack for that! Then you can just play the sample at different pitches up and down the keyboard. :)
when ever i add sample like this in drum rack automatically delay and reverb come with that sample and its an pain how to get read of it and just sample ?
If you mean that there is a delay and reverb audio effect after the simpler, you've probably created a default. You can delete this from the 'Defaults' folder in your User Library under 'Dropping Samples into Drum Rack' or something like that. :)
My brain hurts....but it is a good hurt.
