@@Kompa55_Music Yes same thing :) Your video is in arrangement view which was useful for me - is that where you spend most of your time when getting ideas? I find myself stuck in session view too long and not getting tracks finished - a good tutorial on arrangement and this view while keeping it creative would be great.
Yes. I tend to work in arrangement view most of the time as I like to “see” the arrangement of the track. I have an idea for an arrangement video. I’ll try and pull something together and get it up on the channel soon.
i tend to reduce sample lengths as lots of house music now have very short claps and short kicks, you can fade but i usually try a transient shaper to reduce the decay.
I somehow managed to delete your comment!!! I did read it before that. No idea how that happened. Glad you enjoyed the video. I will have a go at showing you how to make your own top loops. It’s fun and makes it even more satisfying when you can add it your own creations rather than using splice all the time. lol.
I was very careful NOT to call it swing. Swing is specifically only when you move the timing of notes late (after the beat) on every other 16th note. For any other timing or placement change, it is NOT swing. So when you push the snares early (as I talk about in the video) that is not swing. Placement and timing of notes can make huge changes to the groove and swing is only one part of that.
1) Arrangement, 2) when is a song finished ( iam never finished) . 3) and some kind of self validation , is harder to explain. 4) and the volume level of indivdiual elements of the drum kit , and its ( the kick mainly ) relation to the bass.
Thanks for watching and for the suggestions. I’m working on an arrangement video at the moment so that will be out next week. Q4 is a good one too and will look to answer that in a future video. For 2 and 3 I will put my psychologist hat on and see if I can answer those questions too (I have 2 Masters degrees in Psychology so this is right up my street!).
Hey thanks for the link. I hadn’t come across this guy before but he talks a lot of sense - just binge watched his mixing tutorials and they are genius!
Niiiiiice!!!!
Can’t believe you watched my channel! I’m a huge fan. 🎉🎉🎉
Finally learnt how Ableton's groove works from this video. Nice. Thanks for sharing.
Happy to help! I realised I kept saying Groove in this video rather than Swing as that's what Ableton calls it. But it's the same thing.

Let me know what you’re struggling with in your music creation process and I’ll try and address it in future videos 👇🏻

I think this is exactly what you need to do. Short kicks allow the bass groove to be heard properly, without the mud.
How do we tackle this without any pre-made loops? Could you show us how to make those too?
Do you mean creating the drum pattern from scratch? Or do you mean the bassline? Or the top loops? Happy to help either way.

Foundation 1 is called swing

@@Kompa55_Musicthanks I realized i as wrong after I posted that
1) Arrangement,
2) when is a song finished ( iam never finished) .
3) and some kind of self validation , is harder to explain.

Stop drinking pop. You will die.
Cool video though.
Yeah. You might be right…
@@Kompa55_Music You're talented. Live it up!!
