not gonna diss on the dude bringin' the oil but fab's question/comment highlight some shortfalls. just knowing where to access grooves through the groove pool icon could have helped new users. that should have really been a 'must' in this tutorial. the reasons why using them (grooves) should have been given. when it comes to commit there should have been an explanation as to why the groove disappears in permanently adding....in learning 'whatever can go wrong can go wrong' trainers should take nothing for granted.
Thanx! But I have a problem. When I drag and drop grooves they collapse in one note - C1. If I choose drums and then drop, groove became 1 drum, for instant, snare. How did you get that "Fold"?
You need to program your own beat first THEN apply a groove to your beat. A groove is not a beat per se, but a way to slightly (or severely) offset the drum hits in your beat from the grid, to make it sound more human, or just more interesting.
when you click commit the midi notes quantizes to the groove and you can only change it by ctrl z, but when you don't click commit you can change the groove anytime
He's using something called "Towel Kit" where is this kit? Did he create it or is it stock or purchased from another Pack? I usually try to emulate what the instructor does first to see they apply it and then go off on my own. I cannot find this Kit. Any help?
I have Ableton Live Suite, and am trying to extract the groove from an audio clip. I've seen other people on youtube do it, but for some reason I can't. When I right-click on an audio clip, the "Extract groove" option doesn't come up on the menu. It does let me extract the groove from a MIDI clip, but not from an audio clip. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
@@Kategan hello, im new to Ableton and im trying to get familiar still. I have live 10 lite and I don't see that double wave or the groove pool and I also don't get any "swing and groove" result when I type in to search.. any help or suggestions would be appreciated, thank you!
@@danielllamas748 Hi, no problem! Unfortunately this is not available for Lite version as far as I know, you would need to upgrade to Standard or Suite. Hope this helps!
Can not for the life of me work out how to bring up this mythical GROOVE POOL. No matter what I do, it remains greyed out from the VIEW menu. This video is no help at all. It starts off with the groove pool already showing.
Left side of the screen, there's a little symbol that looks like two "~" stacked on top of each other. Clicking that brings up the Groove Pool. You can also press Command+Option+G. Hope that helps!!
I dont really get what grooves do You have to layer the drums and so on by yourself so what really changes after adding grooves? Just the velocity or what
Basically a groove file is a MIDI File with an inherent Rhythm and note intensities (aka MIDI Velocity) so when you apply any given Groove to an Audio or MIDI file the most prominent effect is the alteration of its timing, either by copying the placement of notes to the destination clip via moving its notes in the case of MIDI files or applying warp markers to an Audio Clip, but groove is not only comprised of timing (note placement) accents play an important part, thats where the velocity part comes in handy. I just don't know how and if this is applied to Audio Files, but with a MIDI Clip as a destination it modifies the velocity values to resemble the groove source. Hope I clarified things a bit. Have a great day.

Seriously this is so huge. This made ableton the best daw ever for me.
No other DAW does this so easily.
swing is easy in logic too, but this "commit" feature is insane.
can anyone help me with the base chooser.
Ikr🙂
Doesn't seem easy to me.
Reason has a pretty similar groove mixer that is very easy to use
Simple and straightforward, thanks!
A quality tutorial as always!

but if i chooe undo will that undo the commit command and restore the clip?

can you help me? the difference between click on commit or not? i don t understand this step
when you click commit the midi notes quantizes to the groove and you can only change it by ctrl z, but when you don't click commit you can change the groove anytime
@@todwstam thank you so much🙏

You don't in any way need this specific kit to benefit from this lesson, or use the techniques therein.
Cool tut!
Super Helpful!

I don't have a definite answer because I'm not sure, but try making sure the audio clip has warp enabled and is warped to the right tempo
what version of live are you using?
You can drag the clip onto the groove pool too
So what exactly is groove?
how is that possible in fruity loops?
Super
I can't see any groove pool. Something in my preferences perhaps?
There's a small icon just below the left panel (it looks like a double wave ~) which will show or hide the Groove Pool
@@Kategan Thanks, got it now.

Mine is also grayed out. Did you resolve this?
Find where your groove file is stored in ableton’s browser and double click it. You’re welcome.
I've been in that frustration mindset before. You have to persevere before you write youtube comments.
siiiiicccckkkkk!
I haven't found a way to apply grooves from Push 2 which sucks - couldn't find anything online about it either :( :(
ur not using ableton live 10 suit here download this
www.ableton.com/en/trial/
isn't push a midi instrument? what do you mean? just record any pattern played as a midi clip and extract it from there.
how to automate the timing ??? thx
Super transparent mad probs Ableton
what does it actually do though? i hear no difference
Nope. Sorry, doesn't work.
When I was in the lab it never worked for me either lol
I dont really get what grooves do
You have to layer the drums and so on by yourself so what really changes after adding grooves? Just the velocity or what
He explains it in the video.
Khalyle Hagood not really Haha he doesn't show any comparison
He's changing the parameters in the video, and the audio changes.
Khalyle Hagood okay but he never shows a comparison before and after that's what confused me..but thanks

thats lazy as hell, create your own rhythm that makes you a unique producer.
Did you miss the part where you can save your own grooves?
Awwww nooo alexobeatdj doesn't agree with the use of a software feature
