    One thing I feel I should mention is that you can actually quantize transients and warp markers! I just found out today and it's saving me so much time.

    Good Lord! I just learned more about Ableton in 15 mins than I would have in a month from some other channels. 👍

    I know this not why most of your subscribers are here, but your ableton tutorials are some of the best out there. Straight to the point and so many simple yet extremely useful tips

    Love your teaching style! Your calm and warm temperament doesn’t make it too overwhelming like other hosts that go overboard on the video editing and personalities just to teach a concept. Keep them going. You’re doing amazing work!

    Great video, David!
    Appreciate when a "Ableton tips" video actually highlights some hidden or lesser used features of Ableton and not just "Press tab to swap between Session and arrangement view" or stuff from page 5 of the manual.
    This also makes me want to upgrade from Live 10 to 11 so bad!

      I’ve recently switched from Pro Tools to Live and I have to say, beyond all the other stuff I love about Live, doing composite edits from takes is so much easier and smoother a workflow than Pro Tools and it’s “playlists” and related. It’s funny that it’s something so utilitarian but it’s one of my fave features and was apparently only introduced in 11. Merry producing!🤘🏻😊

      I feel the same way. It is a HUGE topic and sorta daunting sometimes/easy to get lost in.

    Thanks for this, all very interesting. I particularly liked using the BEAT clip analysis mode to make a pulsing bass beat from a held note, I would never have thought of that!

    I’ve been playing in session view exclusively thinking of arrangement view as a place for recording when I’m done creating… this level of dissection and rebuilding is incredible. Thank you so much for demonstrating!

  • @oystercatcher943
    @oystercatcher943 2 года назад +1

    As a new user this is fantastic as lots confused me about audio editing but I'm quickly getting there. The warping and tempo following was especially informative. Audio-to-notes was a research topic a few years back. Amazing how well it can work. Just amazingly powerful (and fun) software! Thanks

    Former Logic Pro user here. Using Ableton to work with collaborators at some point. I couldn't find a way to solve problems in Ableton solely so I ended up using both Logic Pro and Ableton and bounce stems back and forth. Thank you for these tips. Wonderful

    When comping from Takes, Split (Cmd-E) is unnecessary. Simply select the audio you want in the main track/comp and hit Enter. Really great vid. Thanks!

    Tip 5 rather than export the track you could have just hit freeze then flatten. I find it speeds up my workflow when doing jobs like that.

    I got a lot out of this. I spent the evening following along with my own material including my Little Phatty and acoustic guitar. I ended up with some strange drums from water drops on a baking sheet pan. Lots of great tips.

    Awesome video David. Lots of super useful shortcuts, slipping and stretching - exactly what I was looking for! I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the tempo to follow a particular track. The tempo automation doesn't show up as it did in your video. Do you have any settings going on that enable this?

  • @Gallanitte

    I'm so used to edit audio in Reaper that I always struggle with the shortcuts in Ableton. I guess I could change my keyboard shortcuts in Reaper to match those of Live, but I'd have the rebuild muscle memory all over again.

    Loved the video David! I was wondering if there's any reason you didn't use Ableton's audio quantization feature in the beginning instead of moving the transients yourself?

    • @DavidHilowitzMusic
      @DavidHilowitzMusic  2 года назад +4

      Ah, I definitely should have. I guess I'm just in the habit of messing around with clips by hand.

    • @airfixx_8952
      @airfixx_8952 Год назад +1

      Depending on the complexity of the material you're warping it's not always particularly reliable........ Also not a fan of over-warping audio as it's nice to retain a certain amount of groove from the original recording.

    Are... you... serious... ???
    I NEVER knew about the Ctrl+Shift to move the WAV file inside the clip?
    You would not believe how much time I've lost trying to edit the start position of the audio clip in the WAV editor section.

  • @fritsvanzanten3573
    @fritsvanzanten3573 Год назад

    Great video. But (this being about the tenth video about audio editing I watch , and me still haven't found an answer to the question/issue that started my search) imo it skips one thing (like the nine videos I watched before ;-)): when and why do you record/(start) edit(ing) in session view and when in arrangement view? Are there differences/ consequences? Does that matter? I'm curious. Certainly when you, like I did, recorded something on you phone and want to use it in your project. Thx in advance.

  • @jackduffyjazzguitar
    @jackduffyjazzguitar 2 года назад

    Thanks for the helpful video. One question. I record solo jazz guitar, which of course makes every mistake super obvious. Rather than recording 50 takes hoping to get a perfect one, how do I replace a measure that is badly played with a measure from another take that is properly played? Thanks again.

    • @Ricochetmex
      @Ricochetmex 2 года назад +2

      Hope this helps: that is known as “comping”, you can search for that here on youtube or in the ableton documentation.
