Kudos to Ableton for producing such quality content and for supporting more experimental areas.
@Thu Nell Ⓥ Yeah but they don't have to choose the unique artists they do to promote their product, but they do and its cool of them.
@Minor socialist true. Very true
@@BIG_PASTA no more Thru Nell. That jerk beat it. I hope you’re doing well Big Pasta. I will dream of you making grooves stopping Nells
@@Woji52 Hahah :)
I can't get it, how could he get stereo recordings with just phone?
What an inspiration. I rebuilt this with a quite poor quality recording of my washing machine. Sounds great.
Very cool 😎
So did you get a clean sound out of it? 👀
I have the opposite of 'buyer's regret' after getting Live11. This excellent video is another reason. Well done to all concerned here. This film was fantastically well done - bon continuation a tous!
Great sound design tutorial! This series is AWESOME
What an inspiring sound design demo. Thank you Ableton and Eomac! Can't wait to get my hands on Live 11 Suite
you have a relaxing voice
Smooth as butter
I started nodding off about 2/3 the way through
🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
@@jeffsmith9384 bit of a delightful ASMR thing.
Very pleasing tutorial and a very inspiring man. Eomac, I read your name many times on records already but never could resonate with it. Now your energy in this video made me wanting to relisten to your stuff. Thank you!
Obsessed with this series thank you so much
This is the best I've ever made my drums sound! Thanks for sharing this.
It's sounds fancy! Your approach remember me the "associative" way to thinking music... It's interesting because you start to increase your sound desing, and also making more complex beats! Congrats! This brand new ableton series of video is awesome!
Amazing, loved that, so creative 👏
Mind blown, turning birds chirping into a kick drum already blew my mind, need to finish the video🙌🏿🙌🏿
Very Nicely done, super explanation, thank you!!
The best information I've learned in 3 years!!!! Thank you
Great content. Learned a lot just from this clip.
This guy is a sound artisan. Mind blowing.
I just have to say this video just changed my life!! Thank you so much for showing me how you do this! I just bought Live and started watching tutorials. I have had this exact idea my whole life and here you are casually doing that very thing!! Thank you thank ypu thank you!!! I had no idea it was this accessible either! Im so excited!!!!!!!
That was great. Thank you
amazing! thank you!
Very inspiring !
Impressive technique and really ingenious and creative.
i hope you're gonna pay royalties to those birds and people talking
Fk dem birds.
lol
Thank You!
Great information. thanks!
Thats pretty cool stuff, thanks.
Unbelievable 👏🏼
Thanks a lot you are very clear. I learn things very important.
dope vid man
Great demo for those into sound design. But Thank Ableton and 3rd party Designers for Sample packs. Don’t think I could laboriously go through sound designing each and every percussive sound. But great info and super detailing into the process. I do appreciate. 😁
I do use sample packs a lot for drums, but sometimes I like to design and synthesize them myself. Gives me inspiration for the rest of the track. Do whatever inspires you and keeps you going.
This guy is a genius!!!👏🏾👏🏾
I record all my field recordings with my phone, so convenient, I make sure to select hi-quality WAV instead of MP3 though :)
@Minor socialist Perfect response lol
@Minor socialist Respect. I don't know what format Eomac records his field recordings in. I was talking about the format recording options on my phone only. Sorry for the confusion! 🐇
@@DAMATRIX Not even sure what was confusing about what you said, I understood you perfectly. Why is this person commenting that Eomac is better than you when you weren't saying anything to do with that? lol
@@BIG_PASTA Some people are on a different wavelength... 🐇 :)
Same, samsung records in amazing quality, but m4a. There are apps though that do WAV.
so cool
I always forget you can unfold drum rack like this
Until now, this video fits my approach and interests in the best way among all videos from ableton.
nice GAS poster
Wtf that’s amazing
I'm not so much in the sample thing when producing music, but I can really appreciate that and how good these techniques works.
Nice
spicy!!!!
I love Eomac's "That Boy" track, anyone remembers that gem?
Great tutorial, thank you.
I've been working on finding entire loops of rhythmic audio in field recordings. It's hard..
i dunno why I'm always surprised when i hear a fellow irish accent.
Same! Always a nice surprise
@devontodetroit he's 100% from Dublin.
👌
Die you put any pitch envelope on the snare? It was sounding quite snappy. Or was all that from the sample? :)
this guy is the Bob Ross of producing
TIL you can group drum rack tracks. Wow, thanks. lol
great stuff, cheers to Ableton. Could this be done in Logic pro too?
This could be done in any daw or even sampler hardware,there are no limits :)
@@rcecil88 but in ableton you can do it faster and easier.
@@suanshine nah with logic's new update you can get this stuff done in logic just as quickly
Ableton is tha shiznit
Cool vid. Get a Rode MicMe for your phone. Your recordings will be much better. Even comes with a dead cat so that wind noise on your vid won't be there.
15:06 How did he make the sample imitate the melody he created in operator ?
He tuned the sample in Sampler to make sure it was in key and then recorded the MIDI on the piano roll for the melody.
You said you are pretty happy with the kick but you didnt look happy :(
is one ever really happy with the kick?
@@troelsknudsen253 freaking forgot this fact
@@troelsknudsen253 lol
Interesting Idea. Now unless you are just doing this for Kicks (No Pun intended - LOL) to take a sound of nature to see what you can end up by chopping up the samples which is cool as well, but I have to ask why take all of the time to go thru all of these steps to end up with (ex. a Kick drum sound when you could grab a 909 Kick or something similar) which sounds similar or better and only takes a few seconds to do, instead of going thru this elaborate process. Just trying to figure out the thoughts & your logic behind this. Are you doing it for fun or do you feel that your getting and end product that you can't get anywhere else? To me the Kick sounded OK, but in my opinion not really like anything different that I have not heard before and not worth all of that extra work when there are thousands of Kicks available.
Pretty Cool & Creative. Thx ElectricEddie
Well you cant hear the lows, but people can feel them in their chest right?
hey do you think theres a big difference between a phone and field recoder
Depends on your purpose. For this? It barely even matters what you start off with here, the effects are creating most of the sound. Use a $2 mic and you'll get the same result.
Really wish people would hydrate before doing these videos.
I can't get it, how could he get stereo recordings with just phone?
Ableton DAW should come on android also🙏
🇮🇪💚❤🇮🇪
Great design, considering all the ambient noise (mixed in w the wanted ambient noise). ;) It's all one fat piece of wood for carving out desired harmonics, as you so appropriately pointed out with Spectrum. One thing, I suppose because I come from earlier style of recording,... why is everything slammed so hard so that nearly clipping on the tracks? Is there a reason? I am sure it has to do w the style, but sometimes I wonder how some artists actually hear that a dynamics/saturation plug is having a positive effect on the original signal--besides just driving the limiter (several of you use on tracks) even harder. Anyone with any explanation I might be missing? I am not being sarcastic. I see this a lot in these docs. Is it style based? I'm always level-checking any new dynamics or sat on my individual tracks/busses and rarely use a comp/limiter in chains. Thanks for the vid 🌶
you could make a kick drum from your voice
G'wan Eo
As an intellectual endeavor, purely for your own enjoyment, I understand why you might want to do this, but on a practical level there are so many great kick, snare, or otherwise sounds out there to manipulate there’s absolutely no point in going through all the trouble to turn a bird into a kick.
I get your point, but when you do it, its YOUR kick u know
Robbin Williams?
I'm sure he was expecting this comment.
How did you copy to another slot??? :/
press alt while dragging
I’m not sure why you are creating all those different duplicated track instead of working simply on one single drum rack, considering that all your side chaining to individual sound can be done in the rack itself by selecting any single pad of the rack. You even assign different notes to the track
which is something natively done in the drum rack. A parte for that, great video
Its called sampling. A very old but effective method.
You don't say?
Well spotted!😱
No disrespect for the author but I was hoping for more. I don’t understand the point of rendering interesting material into fairly standard sounding kicks and snares. Why not leverage some of the more interesting sonic aspects of the original material to make new kinds of sounds?
This seems silly. What's the point in using these recordings if you're not actually making use of any of their characteristics? Am I missing something?
Ive had this idea for like 8 years but im too poor to afford a feild recorder and i could never get clean sounds from my phone. Kindof tired of being ahead of trends but being too poor to act on them
WITCHCRAFT!
While this may be technically interesting the outcome is musically more than disappointing.
Cool techniques but honestly the end product sounds a bit messy
It's not the end product. The final stage happens in the arrangement.
Tudor V right right... whatever helps you sleep at night
It is interesting to see and show how sound design works and what you can do. It would be even more interesting if the final result would sound cool. Your production is zero impact and unusable for radio or live giging. Ok it is experimental. If I would need a kick to shape it than I would record me slaping a wooden dor or something and not white/brown noise of street noise. 😳🙄
Fuck radio. You couldn’t touch his tracks clown
But why would I want to make a kick out of birds chirping ?
@@bingoflangeworthy Good point
His odd sized pupils are freekin me out
I noticed the same thing. Lighting was not ideal, looks like.
This made me lose the will to live
can i give 2 likes or even 3?
Vaya forma tan impractica y completamente innecesaria de hacer musica.
Nice
