Yeah bro your vibe as a teacher is perfect. You got me excited to finally get started on sampling projects. Thank you so much and I wish you a successful career
That first beat was fantastic. Good call on the warp straight from the downbeat and checking tempo. I never thought to do that and didn’t know about the warp straight feature
Man i was struggling for 2 weeks already with warping and sampling (as i come from FL STUDIO), watched a bunch of sampling tutorials but you were the one man. Just by approaching in those two different ways, you cleared all my doubts. Mad props
I really appreciate you for this video tutorial. There are some notable names out there making vids but you are one of the best and most thoughtful teachers I've seen. I especially appreciate that you took the time out to choose a difficult track to beat match when others often go for the obvious and easy. Thank you so much!
Wow, thank you for the feedback. I remember how annoying it was trying to learn this stuff when I first started so I’m glad to spare others the headache.
Thanks for the detailed yet concise explanation of your creative process. Massive help for figuring out what i wanna do with my own music. Keep up the great tutorials and creative projects brodie 🖤
really good video bro , helped me tweak my strategies to sampling . one thing i did find out about the tempo being off is that if you start a new live and drag the sample back it should match the tempo just a bit .
been working with fl studio for a couple years and just bought Ableton in the hopes of fully switching over someday. it's been confusing comin from another DAW but this video made everything so clear. this the best tutorial fr
Yo man, I like the video. Ive been having the exact same issue you were talking about at 3:06. How do I fix this?? Its so frustrating I can never get the metronome to match up
I've made the leap from Logic to Ableton and this is by far the best tutorial I've ever seen on this subject. I'm so inspired--thank you for this wonderful video, brotha!!! SUBBED
Haha!!! Thanks for the shoutout dawg!!!! Really felt the level of detail you put into this and I also felt that you listened to what I said man, really thank you so much
Thank you for sharing! I’m a new Ableton user and this was super helpful. I’ve been so worked up trying to sample classic funk tracks to use as the starting point for a beat, but now this makes way more sense.
Bro! Your way of explaining what you're doing is absolutely fantastic! I don't even use Ableton yet and I can already see how I can apply what you've explained to pretty much any DAW! Thanks for sharing!
For some reason, when I drag the sample it already has the warp markers. Thinking that's why I can't get my sample lined up with the tempo after I drag the flag and hit "Warp from here straight"
just as you say warping samples is something i knew was powerful but ive always been intimidated to try and use it cause i didnt know how to utilize it best and here you made it look easy. thanks a lot imma try things out 👍👍
Dude- this was so great! You did well explaining everything! I've been wanting to use this method for a while, but I've been too lazy to do it. I've been chopping sampled music manually. The warping process drove me nuts, but now I see that I've been working backwards - making a beat and THEN adding a sample of I had an idea. It just makes it a little tougher in comparison to the way you instructed, so this is awesome. What made me connect with your tutorial, by the way, was that I love using gospel samples, primarily because of where I am in my life (getting older), being a church boy, and also having so much love for Gospel music that makes me feel like I'm in the sanctuary with old school pews, stain glass windows, the echo of foot stomping and the spirit of flowing through the voices of choirs and lead singers. Thanks, dude! I'm so influenced by Kanye, and now easily helped by you. To producer to producer, cheers, brother. Cheers. Much love! Question for you- what's your process of sampling as far as legalities, permissions to use records, etc. I sampled a song from Aretha Franklin, Abertina Walker and Inez Andrews. I know people who know them, but I want to ask their permission to use these songs and share with them what I'm doing out of love and respect. I appreciate your advice and sharing your experiences about this. Thanks again!
Yo thanks for connecting with my channel and reaching out. Honestly love gospel samples as well. Tracklib is a website a lot of modern producers use to find samples that can easily be “cleared” for commercial use. Please check them out! Huge library of real music from real, legendary artist by every genre from all over the world. After you buy a sample from them and make a song, you can back and clear the sample through Tracklib as well!
@@MicahWeston Hey, Micah! Thanks for reaching back out! This is awesome info! Thanks, dude! I've been getting into producing for a little under a year. It's the most fun I've ever had. I'm a graphic designer, but music is my first love!
@@jwilliamcosby That's beautiful man! So glad you came across this video. I got some more content coming soon. Anything you'd like to see or learn from my channel?
@@MicahWeston Hey! I'm super late replying. Lol! My bad. I can't think of anything currently... But I know it will definitely be a question about sampling and technical stuff around that. That site was a HUGE gem! I think you'd be the best reference to learn from, bro!
Wassup. I appreciate it. This may be hard to describe via a comment but I pitch bended the audio clip that played at 1:10. It gave the sample a tape stop effect. You can google some tape stop VSTs as well though and automate it at points where you want a transition.
Just came across your awesome video, ive got 3 questions can you do another video to this were you show how you made the drum, perc, hi hat and snare pattern and what you would do to mix those. Also what is the down beat you mentioned and please can you make tutorials like this.
I will most definitely have to do a drum and mixing tutorial in the future. Thanks for your support. Okay, without being super technical, you can think of the down beat as the first note of the loop or the “1” in a single bar. Your metronome clicks like “1-2-3-4” and if you notice, the “1” is the loudest click of the metronome because the metronome is letting you know that the “1” is the down beat. Now when you listen to a drum beat or a sample you will be able to notice the downbeat within it by taking note of the first note or the “1”. So for drums the kick drums USUALLY leads the groove by hitting on the “1”. This is a lot to grasp via a RUclips comment but i hope this at least puts you in the right direction!
Great tutorial man I've just got into Abelton so I'm still a beginner but also used MPC for years just wanted to learn Ableton to save me carrying my MPC around
Doc, I appreciate you! Thank you so much for these encouraging words and thank you for subbing! I got more content dropping at the top of April. I’ve been on a creative reset. Thanks for your support.
I've been using Ableton for a couple years and have made sampled beats and used the Warp feature a lot and I still gained a ton of insight and inspiration from the video. Much love. You got good vibes and the beats are super nice!! Keep putting stuff out, you're well on your way brother
Nice tutorial. One little niggle and easy fix, please level out your voice to match the sequence audio. I found myself turning the volume up and down and will put some folks off watching through. Try to record your voice separate if possible and level out both audio tracks to - 6db. Keep up the good work.
I've been using the Vertical layout in Ableton to use with my launchpad. I've been able to have some success with it but I might just start using the horizontal layout more frequently after seeing this. Great stuff!
I use the vertical view (session view) a lot more now actually! BUT using the horizontal view (arrangement view) was where I started at first to get used to Ableton. Both views are equally great.
bro! great video, thanks a lot! could use your tutorial instantly and flip a sample that i was getting mad about for months now... looking forward to seeing more. saying hi from frankfurt, germany
No problem! As far as that song that you are trying to sample, are you running into warping issues or something else? Do you think this video is helping you get around the hurdles?
Man that song is Hard I was tryna find out how to make a loop in the session view that runs for as long as I want without having to do some insane timing
Wassup. The whole purpose of warping is to get the sample aligned so that when you due change the tempo the sample speeds up/slows down with it. If you want to change tempo without the sample timing adjusting with the tempo change, I would suggest making sure the audio clip is not warped.

This is a real encouraging comment! Thank you!
That first beat was fantastic. Good call on the warp straight from the downbeat and checking tempo. I never thought to do that and didn’t know about the warp straight feature
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
So what does switching to warp straight do exactly compared to finding the exact tempo for every 4 bars section?
Man i was struggling for 2 weeks already with warping and sampling (as i come from FL STUDIO), watched a bunch of sampling tutorials but you were the one man. Just by approaching in those two different ways, you cleared all my doubts. Mad props

Excellent tutorial. Thank you for taking the time to make and share.
No problem. Thank you for tuning in!
this is exactly what i was looking for and i just made my first beat! just a loop with drums but gotta get started somewhere. thanks dude.
Perfect man! You’re going to keep growing and learn a lot as long as you keep going 🙏🏾
Man, this was a WILD tutorial. Thank you. Freaking amazing and simple breakdown. You're the truuuuth
Glad it helped you out!
Beat came out dope, and the song you chose to sample from is fire. Thanks for the tutorial!
No problem man!! Thank you for tuning in.
SOOOOO HELPFUL MAN!!! appreciate it!! all love
Yessir! Glad it helped!
Been using Logic for over 10 years and trying out Ableton again. This was the most basic and straight to the point sample video. Thanks!
Yessir! Glad you back with Ableton man.
@@MicahWeston Thanks!
For some reason, when I drag the sample it already has the warp markers. Thinking that's why I can't get my sample lined up with the tempo after I drag the flag and hit "Warp from here straight"
@@yungskeeme you can turn off the warp and then turn it back on I believe. This should fix that.
@@MicahWeston Yeah I tried that. I’ll have to look into it further
So good man! You told the most important thing - warp from here!!!
Thanks a lot
Yessir! Glad this helped.
just as you say warping samples is something i knew was powerful but ive always been intimidated to try and use it cause i didnt know how to utilize it best and here you made it look easy. thanks a lot imma try things out 👍👍
Wishing you much success with warping & sampling. Once you do it right a few times you’ll always do it right from that moment forward.
Pure talent! You’re a master at the process and you have a special gift for teaching. Helped me a ton.
Thank you! Still growing in the craft! I appreciate the love.
Thanks for the tutorial man prolly one of the best one

Thank you Pat. I appeared the feedback!
crazy video! helped me out louds.
How did you create that transition sound at 1:10

3 years late to the party and its still on point☝🏻❤️
That’s dope to hear! I’m glad this is still helpful!

Dang bro. I appreciate that for real!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Bro I appreciate you! These words are real encouraging. Thanks for sliding thru my channel.
omg good bro i swear no video could help me out with this, but yours is perfect, I already knew it gon be from the start haha
Aayye that’s dope bro! So glad you got what you needed from it!
Ayo, I flipped this same sample on an intro I did in the same year just now finding this this dope
That’s insane lol. Great minds think alike as they say. 🙏🏾
Such a good video, you have a great approach and energy, Thank you!
🙏🏾🙏🏾 So glad this helped u out.
best sampling vid I've seen 🤝
That's love man. Thank you Ethan!
Dude this helped me so much
I made my first sample beat becuase of your tutorial
Thanks bro🔥
Yessir keep cooking up!!
great vid, gonna try this method ive been using the simpler with little problems this might solve
Yessir!
you snapped Micah!
All love bro. I appreciate you 🙏🏾
yo the beat in the beginning going hard, blew me off the stool

Thank you very much brother.
Thank you man! I will bring more sampling content to the channel for sure.

i loved the video but when i was trying to finish the chopping after the warping the "slice to new MIDI track" feature never came up
Okay, did you placed your warp markers down first and then right clicked the sample?
Yo that sample is fire!!!!!
It was a nice find indeed!

Great video! thank you so much for what you do!!!!
🙏🏾🙏🏾 no problem!
Really great video...And that beat BANGS!!!!
I truly appreciate it man!
is there a way to change the BPM of the whole project without it affecting the audio/sample?
Wassup. The whole purpose of warping is to get the sample aligned so that when you due change the tempo the sample speeds up/slows down with it. If you want to change tempo without the sample timing adjusting with the tempo change, I would suggest making sure the audio clip is not warped.
