Thank you so much for all your tutorial series Liam I’ve watched it almost entirely and it helped me a lot in my musical journey
I hope you are doing good

[@allancerf9038]

Cool stuff.
You and I must be the only guys on earth who use Agogo bells.

[@speakthetruth110]

Awesome. Your subject matter is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much. Appreciate your explanations.

[@Grindstaff09]

Thanks, I did not know about the edit button in Ableton's sample editor.

[@dreamaera]

holy shit just realised how large this playlist is! 😍

[@billbradleymusic]

I like how you wrap up at the end(s).

[@hubertlemay5598]

Thank you man that’s great time saver ! And that salad fingers shirt is 🔥

[@ClectaSkiMusic]

Studio setup question for Apple iMac or MBP…
• is there any benefit to using the Ethernet port on a Mac for music production? 😎

[@knotlock]

I like rusty spoons.

[@billbradleymusic]

Nice axe bro. One day I'll have a firebird.

hsving trouble using ircamlab ts2 as my editor... not really sure how to update/save the changes and have them import back into live... can i do this??

[@sternenherz]

@4:58 does this work with ANY other audio editor?? i can't find "overwrite original file" in soundforge, for example. The normal "save" does NOT work, due to the file being blocked by Ableton. And i don't know if Wavelab has this function. Would be a great pity, if only RX has this!?

[@dreamaera]

Suggestions on good software similar to Izoptope RX?

[@FelipeSotoSCel]

Can I have the RX and the Melodyne at the same time and be able to choose it as needed?

[@SpeedBoostGamer]

Does this work for Serato Sample by any chance??

[@adirsab]

Thanks but when I try to overwrite to file I get a warning message prompts saying 'The current file cannot be saved. Please make sure it's not open in another application and try again'. do you know how to fix this? cant find any solution sadly..

[@hubertlemay5598]

I ran into the same problem have you find a way to fix it or a good workaround ?

[@rhythmdutta]

When I click on overwrite original file, a message that, it cannot be saved when the file is open in another program, pops up. What to do?

[@IAMCORNHOLIOINEEDTP]

That happens on windows .. osx does not have these problems with file permissions

[@mariag1229]

How do you remove a sample editor?

[@xavierb1307]

Can something like melodyne work as the editor?

[@danzirvine]

yes

[@smithy5760]

bigup the salad fingers t-shirt

[@shawnmorgan7839]

"Im just going to shorten the loop to save time" then proceeds to doing everything again with a shorter loop which takes twice as much of our time.

[@nickosinit]

shout out to salad fingers

Thanks for the tip, take note that Audacity is not anymore a good option, since it has became a spyware
