- Here we use two simple delays in a feedback loop to create an incredibly powerful Ambient style live looping set.

Using simple delay on it's longest delay setting, you can get almost endless delays or short "loops". In this case we have 2 audio tracks with a simple delay in each. The output of both track 1 and track 2 are fed back into each other via the "track in". The monitor for each track is set to "in". Now by creatively crossfading, we can "pass" audio back and fourth between the two delays essentially creating a short live looping setup. This is accomplished by using Ableton's crossfader where the feedback of each delay is all the way up cross faded to that particular side. Putting different audio effects on either side can create endless ambient loops. Try different effects out, its magic! There is also an independent reverb send for lush verby goodness.

thanks man you consistently bring the best ableton content to RUclips
Been watching your channel for years. My man is a genius.
It’s a good day whenever you post a tutorial. Thank you :)
Utterly brilliant use of resources. Thank you.
I had been in such a creative rut until this video, so thank you very much for the inspiration. Such a simple process. And you cut right through the BS.
extremely good stuff, you are making dreams clear, no wiri
Seriously awesome work on this track !
Love this sound. Your really creative.
Gimme that fader fox!!! XD
hey man, thanks for all your insightful tutorials. One thing I've noticed is your CPU is always well managed and idling low but when I try to follow the tutorial my CPU spikes badly. Have you done a tutorial on this already or can you shed some light/quick tips...I do know a bit about freezing tracks and working with audio instead of midi where possible but I think there must be something else I'm missing? ...thanks again:)
I just found your channel, and I’m glad I did. Lots of uniquely helpful info already?
Sorry for a naive question…what is the mini controller that you are using in this video?
Thanks.
It's called the faderfox UC4. Just incase you never found out.
I downloaded the template but could not figure out how to get audio from the 3- Audio channel into the looper channels. Any tips? thanks
omg thx for this! was literally about to look this up and this popped up haah
WOW! You had the idea to feed two delays into each other just now?
@@SeedtoStage haha no i was looking up live looping lol
Is it possible to use a midi device rather than an audio input?
I've been trying to figure this out as well to run a similar set-up only using soft-synths and this is fairly close I think. The setup takes four channels, which I grouped for convenience.
1. MIDI track, audio out to Looper 1
2. Monitor, audio from MIDI track , audio to Group out
3. Looper 1, Audio From Looper 2, audio to Group out
4. Looper 2, audio from Looper 1, audio to Group out
Nice could u use this for transiting between songs?
Great man! :)
Can do this much easier with Augustus Loop (Expert Sleepers). Delay up to 3600 seconds, and more importantly, you can add VST effects directly into the feedback chain via feedback send/receive outputs/inputs. And honestly, Plogue Bidule is much more straightforward for this kind of setup rather than Ableton. This is how I've made almost all my ambient stuff over the years at quiethorn.com (sorry, self-plug).
Hey no worries I just discovered August's loop and it's amazing.
Interesting! I have Augustus loop and never knew it could do this, i could only find two videos on the web and they were not much help so stopped using it. When you say "much easier" can you please explain what button/slider i would have to move from side to side on Augustus loop in order to get the same effect in this video or, i would really appreciate it!
@@deanivan3951 Hi. With August Loop, you can put effects directly in the feedback chain, so you don't need to pass audio back and forth between 2 loopers. You would just have a wet/dry knob on each effect in the feedback chain to apply however much of that effect you want.
@@chineserockethands4578Hey Thank You So Much For Taking The Time To Reply, I Appreciate It! 🙏
I try it but at one point it just gets too loud and i dont know how to stop that
Hey Anthony! I've been looking for a MIDI control with faders man, I hardly see any MIDI controller that's particularly for faders alone... The old MIDI fighter pros look cool with those two faders but they're not available anymore.
What's the one you're using here??
Check out faderfox. They make my favorite controllers
@@SeedtoStage Haha I was just watching your Papadosio rig rundown and came across them anyway, Thanks a ton nevertheless! You the man!
I tried it in live 12 and for some reason there is no sound output
Nice video, what is the MIDI controller?
So nice, definitely incorporating some of this stuff! What's the model/brand of the controller though?
Late but looks like a faderfox uc4!
can this be done with a internal instrument like say a vst plugin?
yeah im trying find the best way to do this. Here is where i am at at this point. Set the "track in" to the track with your vst on it. Once you catpure the sound, set the input back to "looper 2". Not very elegant, but thats what i have for now. lmk if you find a better way to do this, preferably using a midi controller.
@@SeedtoStage Have you maybe find a way to do this with ableton instrument and midi controller? :)
yeah was a bit sad when i couldnt do the same with just my push connected to ableton. after fiddling around i cant find a suitable and easy way to do it. any chance someone already found a solution for it?
Is there a way to message you about you patreon stuff? I am interested in the mentor one. I just have some questions...
just shoot me a message: support@seedtostage.com
@@SeedtoStage Gotcha in messenger... I hope to hear back soon!! Hope you're well!!! Thank you!!!
What is the advantage of this method instead of the original method, with the multiple Looper effects? From a leyman's point of view (mine), the old one seems to be more intuitive and versatile.
this is just fun and immediate and a totally different method for creation. No advantage at all, I find that different people want different solutions for different situations and for me this was just a fun little experiment to generate unique sounds really fast. The first 3 videos i did for looping are definitely be the most useful for common looping applications.
@@SeedtoStage I see. It is fun, indeed! And also very creative, to use simple delays to create looping effects! Nicely done. Also, awesome performance!
how do you feed one of the two loopers with the initial signal?
with "external instrument" on the first looper. Just set the input on external instrument to the inputs of your audio interface
@@SeedtoStage thanks. not sure we have the same version of live though...
@@lolev6594 np the set works 9.6 and up
@@SeedtoStage Whats the controller you're using?
sounds like Minecraft BG music
lipper hehe
