Your tips on workflow are pretty amazing. This, the sting tutorial and other videos are really amazing sources of knowledge. Really blessed to have these videos.
I am working many decades with DAW, I have never seen such a creative person like you. That ist just so easy while watching. Coool! Thanks for your Inspiration, glad that you are on RUclips!
You're truly amazing at what you do, and your work has been incredibly helpful to me. I'm new to this field, and the things you teach are truly valuable. While many RUclipsrs share important lessons, the way you explain things resonates with me more and helps me understand better. Thank you so much for that. I hope you achieve great success. Thank you!
I have never come across anyone on RUclips that is so creative when it comes to creating inspirational, original ideas as I have found on your channel. I have never even dreamed of tweaking Ableton plug-ins in the crazy way that you do. Just wanted to say a big thank you and to keep up the good work!
Never understood why Ableton doesnt show the auto filter move when you turn on that lfo of the same device.... makes it hard to 'read' the status. Thanks for your content!
That, and a way to reset the filter lfo progression would be very handy, even if you disable it and re-enable, it's progression continues where it stopped.
Yes. The beginning of the video perfectly shows where I am now with most of my music. Well here.. There is a very good drum march and that's it, nothing else. :D
Personally I find it easier to start with the melody and then add in the kick, bass, drums and the rest. Though a nice groove can also get your inspiration going sometimes.
nice one. i would try 5 steps too instead of just 3 and 4. probably good for the things that should stand out some more, like the ones with slow modulation
warp feature is one my favourite tool for sound design.Seriously ! Results are often unexpected sounds that I resample and use in my productions. I really like to see people like you using it a lot too.
Great stuff as usual. I enjoy using Rozzer as well. At the beginning of the video I was certain you were going to do Slice to MIDI on the loops. Another great way to find inspiration.
Trying to figure out how to do something similar to this in Reaper, does anyone have any suggestions for plug-ins or extensions that would give me a similar workflow to this? TIA
I decided from this video to try out Ableton, i used FL and i love it for certain things but feel like the workflow is too... strict? boring? time consuming? i don't even know but here it just seems so easy to do everything that you can only pull off with a bunch of vsts in FL.
Great tips, but you’ve done the same video a couple of time now. It’s all great and appreciated but what about the main lead or main theme of the track. These beds are great to have but get repetitive very quickly
I agree that he’s illustrated the same end result a few times now but they’ve all been different techniques. In any case, teaching how to hack a melody and chord progression is next to impossible as it’s one of the few bits of music making that you can’t skip the practice for. It’s just hard. You can copy good sounding chord progressions to a DAW and practice writing a melody over the top and you could well strike gold, but to do it reliably is one of the holy grails of music writing, regardless of genre.
I take a few issues with this, although the tips shown here are REALLY valuable. First problem I have is that the "groove" that you made is 4 loops taken from a sample pack, which in my opinion is a bad way to start a song. Of course it depends on the style you're producing, but usually the melody is the thing that gets stuck in people's heads, and is most remembered. Without a strong melody, there's no song, even HUMBLE by Kendrick is like 3 notes arranged in a memorable way. All those melody loops that we use start off as just that, a melody which the beat should then be supporting. Not the other way around, and I think getting into the habit of making a beat before there's an actual song there is potentially very detrimental to new producers. In genres like house, that means 90% of their songs are based around a 4 on the floor beat, rather than actually being songs with a distinct personality, and leaves VERY little room to actually carve your own sound out. I'll definitely be taking some of the advice from this video, I just hope that newer producers don't all take this route.....or maybe they should so the rest of us stand out more 😈 lol jk
Your Intro is on point^^ still laughing and it reminds me to the following It happens from time to time, that I´ve produced a really "outstanding song" including everthing it needs.....Than I go to bed with the biggest smile on earth.... Next day I´m excited as f*** and show the song to my girlfriend and already during the first seconds i want to undo it, because her facial expression and also the song are now strangely the opposite of what i felt a few hours earlier when listening to it. i
What makes your videos so unique are those little tips in between. Also: It is so much fun to see you flying through the possibilities of Ableton; there are always more options to get a result. And there is more: It``s great to see you having fun; well; i can feel that :) Since i edit video since the beginning 80s i fly with AVID in a similar virtuous way ... One question: Until now i could not find a way to configure the keyboard, reprogram it, putting some functions or shortcuts on other keys on the keyboard ... Is there really no way to do that so i have to learn the shortcuts from Ableton??
I was not looking for key mapping, but actually zoom in and out of the timeline with the arrow keys ... Anyways; Resolved ... found a way to do that ruclips.net/video/y9VU8Xa7-ls/видео.html Thx again; rock on!!
I like this way of creating additional melodic components but at the end of the day you still have a 16bar loop with no progression. Getting from THAT to a full track is the really hard part imo.
It's a good idea to make little 30s loops when you want to get busy and quickly get a drinkable result but I'm sorry for me music has to tell a story. You have to want to take the listener into a universe that conveys visual emotions. Imagine someone crossing the savannah to get to the waterfall. The waterfall is the beginning of the break. You have to know where you want to go, not just hit 5 notes in the scale. One thing that's helped me a lot is tools like scaler 2 or hookpad that let me easily get the chords I have in my head without going through 400 hours of theory.
Interesting but I think those not that great at Ableton might get confused, Reasons Comp mode is probably a better way to do the same thing. For Me I'd rather just load the samole chops into a sampler and map across the keyboard in the correct key, MPC style.
Your tips on workflow are pretty amazing.
This, the sting tutorial and other videos are really amazing sources of knowledge. Really blessed to have these videos.
Thank you so much :)
Love what u do here! Organic is life😊

What is it?😮

This is just LUSH!! Thank you for this amazing video!
New favorite Ableton channel! Love these types of tutorials. Thank you!
I never knew you could just drag in a sample into the sample editor like that!
Same
Ableton is easier than you think
Great video again. No hype, clear and super useful. Excellent!
Amazing tutorial thank you 🎉
Well done. Vibes vibes vibes
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. Some great tips as always.
you are opening a world to me. Thank you
great content, have you already done or can you do, a video where you explain how to keep the track in harmony, respecting the keys of the samples?
I'd love to see a similar process of ajusting a melody to a groove really made, without premade samples.
Genius ! Great video. :)
Really nice and simple 👌
great work man, this is such a useful and creative concept
wowww great video and info, thanks man 💯
Amazing. Thanks for this)
Funny how I actually enjoyed the music in the intro :D silly music also works!
Phät!! Thx so much for sharing; amazingly inspiring tutorial!
That was a joy to watch, really creative technique!
These tips are pure joy! 😁
Pretty good technique mate!
Great!! Thanks for share your knowledge
Always inspiring 👊
I actually learned something from this. Thanks.
Great tips!

I am on Cubase but think I can get a similar workflow with Loopcloud - will try with 5 as well 🎉
Thx again
Thank you too!
I've learnt a lot new tricks with you 🎉Thanks
Awesome!
Always learning some cool tricks for you. I enjoy this style of “find the vibe.” Also you’re really relaxing to watch 😂
warp feature is one my favourite tool for sound design.Seriously ! Results are often unexpected sounds that I resample and use in my productions. I really like to see people like you using it a lot too.
Yeah man this is teally great stuff.
thanks againnn! like always!
Great job thank you friend .!!
very nice 👍
Simple but effective.
very nice
Your videos are awesome! Giving so many tools to get the inspiration going. Can’t thank you enough! 🎉🙏
Love this workflow 🙌🙌
really useful stuff.... as always... ;)
Simply PURE vibezzzz ⚡️
Inspirational! Thx
Great stuff as usual. I enjoy using Rozzer as well. At the beginning of the video I was certain you were going to do Slice to MIDI on the loops. Another great way to find inspiration.
Always thanks to u )) amazing 😊
Trying to figure out how to do something similar to this in Reaper, does anyone have any suggestions for plug-ins or extensions that would give me a similar workflow to this? TIA
What’s the point to pitch if you first decided to work in key?
Love this.
very handy feature!
great !
Thanks for all the great advice on ableton's workflow and how to create awesome patterns. 🤘
Hello. Thank you, very interesting technique. 🙏🤗
Very nice tutorial..✌️
I decided from this video to try out Ableton, i used FL and i love it for certain things but feel like the workflow is too... strict? boring? time consuming? i don't even know but here it just seems so easy to do everything that you can only pull off with a bunch of vsts in FL.

Yea I agree, I think overall I am looking for something to lay over this bed and thats the difficult part. @@wapbamboogie7213

@@mit136speichenumdiewelt Why would my comment be deleted lol
Sometimes rhythm inspires the melody. Multiple ways to make music. It doesn't always have to start with a melody but sometimes it does.
100% agree
Your Intro is on point^^ still laughing and it reminds me to the following

It's not music production if you don't feed the goat everyday you're going to string your drum with.
Where did you get your goat from, farmer?

When will the afro pack be released? I look at your shop every day. :D I would buy it now.
Cool Thanks a lot :)
Happy to help
Thank’s a lot :)Nice technique)😎👍🏼
My pleasure!
Is it compatible with ableton 11?
Genius!
This is lit
Vibe !!

This is great for finding new ideas but if you already have an idea, midi is the way to go
wow

Can you make guy j type music 🙏
🤣🤣🤣 the begining of the videos 🤣🤣🤣
Something that worked for me was buying a TB-303. :)
Watches the intro....looks at the 30+ tracks in his ableton folder 😑 😂
You are a Mounster
i am in this situation since 20 years......... -.-
nice video ! :-) btw it's polymeter and not polyrhythm... Cheers!
LEARN MUSIC
and have fun while doing so! :D
