You'd think Adsense was giving an extra dollar for every 'wowsers' said...Possibly the best music production channel tutorial channel on RUclips! Thanks! :-)
Dope tut as always! Just one thing to min. 1:48: You could also map the volume control to one of your faders and then hit the MIDI button on the top right an click the arrow on the top left corner. There you can set the max. amount of your specific fader for instance to -6db. Then you could turn the fader on your MIDI controller all the way up and it won't pass that line. Just to let you know!
Goodness me, there's so much to live for. So many knobs and buttons, so much useful info. Thanks Underbelly! You've become one of if not my favorite music instructor I've found thus far!
Ok wowzers, from all the videos I've seen in your channel I found this one particurlarly useful. I'd love a whole "you suck at playing live" mini-series, or at least a second video on how to prepare a set of different songs in the same session, for example. Thanks, keep it up!
I am an old Gen Xer that cut my teeth in analogue vinyl many moons ago. After painfully reviewing young millennial RUclips producer channels I found you. Thank Wowsers that satire is strong in your creative arsenal. Up there with your musical talents. Thanks for skipping the frills and getting to the point. I (now proudly) suck at producing.
perfect timing! great alternative for those who don't got the handy dandy foot peddle on your other video on live looping. saved me time & money =) p.s. love your enthusiasm n humor when sharing these things!
You actually map the faders to the volume of your tracks and set the max to nominal instead of +6 , however this does look like a super sweet config for live looping.
Great video, really inspirational! Could you explain what does have you assigned (at 07:58 and 08:15) on the pad and what effect on the knobs for the repeated/pitched effects?
Hey just so you know instead of using the sends to control the volumes you can just map your faders to the regular faders and in the midi mapping you can set your faders to only go from negative infinity to 0db or whatever you want
Loved this video, thanks a lot for the walk through! Can you please explain how you mapped the pad that corresponds to 'creating a new clip' on the first press + triggering it on a second press? This seems like such a fun setup to start creating right away!
You can easily assign exact values for your midi mappings just by pressing cmd m. That way you don’t need to use send levels to controll volume of individual tracks. Ableton is excellent for this, much faster (workflow-wise) than logic pro.
Uhm, rather than using sends for each channel, you can instead set the range that the software fader will travel over the full range of your controller slider. It can max out at 0 dB if you want, -6 dB, -20 dB, whatever you want. It's in the MIDI mapping details. Maybe annoying that the default carries the software fader to +6, but if you ever used an analog mixer (less likely these days) you would have experienced that allowance for a little boost over unity gain, which may come in handy. Great video!
this is hilarious to watch, ive been referring to music as sandwiches for a while deadass LMAO as there are many layers that must compliment each other and be tasty but not overbearing. glad u see it the same way 😂
nice one dude! i really want to get into doing this. it sucks that you cant tell abeton to just cutoff the recording and start looping after 4 bars. i guess you have to prepare a project to do that.
could just fill your session view with empty four bar clips and just overdub em. I like to give myself some flexibility when it comes to loop length tho
the korg padkontrol (yes, the korg padkontrol) is the only device I know of that lets you do that. there's a button to start a live recording in a new clip that has the length of the global quantize (and a control for that of course).
Hey thanks for this! Really informative. Wanted to ask what exactly was mapped on those knobs for the whole thing to stop and fade out at the end. Thanks!
Underbelly - what Ableton device are you using for your Fender Rhodes instrument? Is it an Ableton device or 3rd party... great vibes, one of my favorite channels
Im just wondering how you squeeze all the stuff from this old mpd 32, its almost 10 years old controller, am I right? (no offense, youtube's just full of push videos and etc) just big fcking Wow! Keep watching you, thanks man!
Dude, when I got my Push 2 I was completely floored with how useful it was. I don't think I could make it my only controller, but I rarely have to touch the mouse in Ableton, anymore. I mean, it doesn't solve everything, but it's pretty wild. I could do for an extra bank of knobs or some faders on it, though.
Not sure if you know you can ctrl+m to the midi menu to change the min/max values of knobs/sliders so all the way up on your faders will be 0db and not +6db.
Hey man just to say that like instead of assigning your volumes to sends, when you go into midi mapping mode and open the effects/plugin side window on the left, you can set the Max value of you fader to 0dB instead of +6dB. Got an MPD32 as well so know what it’s like...
Very helpful. I’m betting you prefer the Akai controller to the Push2 ...but might you expand on the considerations and tradeoffs? I’m just beginning the search. Thanks!

true that, very good tip. Will definitely have a video on midi mapping tricks soon.
Was gonna say the exact same thing!
great tip .. did not know that
You suck slighty less at producing
do you have an idiot proof guide to doing this? im a bit unsure what to do
Goodness me, there's so much to live for. So many knobs and buttons, so much useful info. Thanks Underbelly! You've become one of if not my favorite music instructor I've found thus far!
no problemo Zhu
I stopped watching porn for this
Totally worth it
yeah i had to stop for a bit while i filmed fuckin sucked
I have my porn assigned to pad 15 on the macro bank.
Wowzers
You got here via "suck", right?? :-)

never forget

Out of all the videos I watched, this made the most sense! Thank you :)
This channel is going to blow up
damn right
this gonna blow up thanks to youtube recommendations
Fuck
Yeeeee!

This opens up new worlds man, keep it up and give yourself a tap on the wrist - you've earned it ♡
thanks man, i'll be sure to tap it with vigor
Youre the hero we need, not the hero we deserve..
i just ask myself, what would diplo do?
Dude. Your channel is pure gold.
You probably are the best ever youtube production tutor
"you'll noticed that I've mapped the first five faders still attached to my controller" XD
As soon as you played that Rhodes, I just sat back, and let you play out. This was money all the way. Keep it up👏.
perfect timing! great alternative for those who don't got the handy dandy foot peddle on your other video on live looping. saved me time & money =) p.s. love your enthusiasm n humor when sharing these things!
learned more from these 9 minutes than the hours of other videos on looping.
Oh man. I just realised, I suck at producing.
very good
I'm crying because the metronome makes me feel pretty miserable too, very grateful that you've validated the nausea of my ears.
Been recording guitar loops with mic and amp but just messed about with this tonight and man it's so much more versatile
I like your flavor bro. Vibe is dope. Great teaching techniques as well. Keep it up!!
thanks numbynumb
This video never gets old
You can edit min / max values for midi controller mappings, so you can have the sliders max out at 0 dB instead of +6 dB.
Dude...solid content. Gold standard demo. Thanks.
A funny tut youtuber who is talented and entertaining. Amazing, keep it up. Wish I found this channel sooner.
thanks mayne
When he started speaking in tempo at 4:49
Great swing my man
Wowsers! Just discovered your channel. Made my evening.
thanks for watching jason
Once you started heating up with the effects, shit got fire. Respect, new sub here.
When midi mapping you can take the max volume down to 0db from 6db, solving your clipping fader problem.
Awesome tut!!!!!!! Would love for you to do one on how too get started scratching
scratching vid coming soon
That bass drum fit so good with those first chords, wowzers
This man hits a fat dab before every video I swear 😂 love these videos though.
"WE'RE BACK IN BUSINESS, BABY"
i love your "lets get started"-face. hope patent is pending.
face currently under reconstruction
can you make a video on how you do all your midi mapping to your akai on Ableton?
You actually map the faders to the volume of your tracks and set the max to nominal instead of +6 , however this does look like a super sweet config for live looping.
literally the best tutorial channel lmaooo
The subtitles are 🔥
Best loop tutorial of all time
this was hilarious and really helpful. I now have a general idea what to do and some good tips for mapping.
I’ve been looking for decent guides. You had me at dingus. I’m listening....
Great video, really inspirational! Could you explain what does have you assigned (at 07:58 and 08:15) on the pad and what effect on the knobs for the repeated/pitched effects?
dope! make vid about sends & master section please, cuz im suck at producing
i have a vid on sends and returns, check check it
found it. thanks!
I love this channel man!
Hey just so you know instead of using the sends to control the volumes you can just map your faders to the regular faders and in the midi mapping you can set your faders to only go from negative infinity to 0db or whatever you want
Wow nice... loving your tutorials man.
I love your content. Keep it up, proud of you.
I think you're the best person of the universe.
love everything about this vid
This channel is Wowzers!
Hi Underbelly, for the volume faders using sends suck imo. In the midi mapping list in Ableton you can change the max from +6dB to 0dB.
good tip
You can place Utility plug ins -6db on each channel so the full range of faders is usable with no sends too.
wowzers bro. thanks for existing
Great video thanks.
Side note; this guy is every composition major in the country.
one of a few looping videos that I have stuck with to the end - now to try it for myself. Hope I manage it :) great video
Your channel is awesome!
What effect was that second knob? Closed caption is telling me he's saying "shrimp with the leg on" and I just have a feeling that's wrong.
Any tips on producing in bed?
Caffeine … Lots.

Hey Underbelly just checking again to see if you can help with my question :)
have the same question
Me too :/
lmao i don't even have this program and i watched the whole thing. i love him lol

I have a question! ✋🏻
How do you mapped those knobs to the loop/delay/reverb fx?
Thnx for the best producing tutorials on yt!!
just press ctrl + m for mapping
yup yup. If you go to audio effect racks in ableton there's a bunch of built in fx designed for easy midi mapping. check check it
So simple, so instructive..
truly genius :)
This channel is fucking awesome....mad I'm late to this!!
I really like you you help a lot. Thanks dude!
ok no problem
This is amazing ya dingus! Do you possibly have a template/project file for us noobs to work with
not yet, but ill try constructing one soon
@@yousuckatproducing how about that template? Is it available yet?
awesome thank you! id love to see a video of you explaning how you set up your macro pads. :)
nice one dude! i really want to get into doing this. it sucks that you cant tell abeton to just cutoff the recording and start looping after 4 bars. i guess you have to prepare a project to do that.

Hey thanks for this! Really informative. Wanted to ask what exactly was mapped on those knobs for the whole thing to stop and fade out at the end. Thanks!
1:35 U can limit the throw of the fader in midi mappings. (apple+M)
I am so glad I found you in my recommended

you're talented my man
So many "ok so check it"s, I like it

Mapping the midi to bpm was genius. Going to add it in my workflow.
Do you use a plug in for beat repeats, or is it something built in in Ableton?
i use the built-in beat repeat
Thanks mate.
For those unaware Maike Watson has an awesome tutorial on how to change the metronome sounds, however it's not as easy to set up as underbelly's
mah grrl maike
I hate that RUclips took away our wowsers widget. This video gets a wowsers and a half from me
Tap on the wrist
you're doing great
great job !!can you show us how you are mapping all this stuff?
i second this 3 years later. let us know underbelly!
Alex Paul from the chainsmokers is incredibly high
Can you recommend a good rhodes synth? Mine just suck ^^

thanks man, yeah I need a new controller i'm just a cheap fuck
Dude, when I got my Push 2 I was completely floored with how useful it was. I don't think I could make it my only controller, but I rarely have to touch the mouse in Ableton, anymore. I mean, it doesn't solve everything, but it's pretty wild. I could do for an extra bank of knobs or some faders on it, though.
... and with only five functional faders. When life gives you lemons...
4:50 "New...clip...on the Rhodes track" was perfectly on the beat
That was wowzers, mother frickin impressive.
Not sure if you know you can ctrl+m to the midi menu to change the min/max values of knobs/sliders so all the way up on your faders will be 0db and not +6db.
yep
Well you have your workflow and it works for you so more power to you! I just found your videos and I'm subbing for sure.
Wowerz my guy! That was amazing!
So you setup like a 4 bar loop with the click track then just use that for the whole arrangement? Wowzers
This guy's literally Steve Stifler but calm and quiet.
Hey man just to say that like instead of assigning your volumes to sends, when you go into midi mapping mode and open the effects/plugin side window on the left, you can set the Max value of you fader to 0dB instead of +6dB. Got an MPD32 as well so know what it’s like...

Not too techy but new looper friendly, wowzers we onnn!
Was hoping there'd be more advice on how to not screw up the timing when creating loops
practice makes perfect cory
You Suck at Producing thanks Dad I will take that to heart
nice. Thanks...did you do all the mapping or is that all preset?
i did it all bb
Wowzers!
Happens whn u make beats watchng brazzrs..😂😂
Oh shit I know a beat or two of yours bro 🔥🔥
Absolute awesomeness!
