Another awesome video from Luca. This was really helpful mate, thank you so much for this great content! I have really enjoyed my trial of Live far more due to the info presented in your videos. I feel like it saved me a lot of time and I can get right to making music! Can't wait for the next one!
Tremendous video, thanks for creating it!! New subscriber to your channel but I’ll definitely be going through your back catalogue. You and Underdog are making some great content for us would be producers!!
Super useful video. Satisfying that you focused purely on Simpler without overwhelming viewers by throwing in other aspects of Ableton's functionality. Thanks man!
This popped up in my recommendations. This is just what I needed at the right time. I have a female vocal sample in a track I'm currently working on so I'm off to the man cave. An inspirational tutorial. You've won a subscriber.
great video.. very useful the way you sow the direct use of the simpler. I have checked other videos that give a full detial of the Simpler and sampler.. which seen here with activity on tracks is great. Thank you.. EDM PROD..
Thanks for the video. For the drums samples, eg high hat, would you rather have each sound on a track instead of using the simpler within the drum rack? Why?
thank you so much for this video. It really help me a lot, i have been sampling synths and i didn't understand why it wasn't looping right. Keep up the good work!
Great video! but I'm super confused about how the midi patterns were put in before he dragged a sample on? I've tried a few ways but can't work it out? I tried assigning an 808 kit and writing in the notes, then deleting the kit, then dragging the sample onto the track like he did. But my sample sounds nothing like it should? Love to see how he set up the midi patters before he started dragging on samples!
Good info, clearly and concisely explained 👍 Without wishing to sound smug, this is could be alternatively entitled "Generation Z discovers the sampler" 😊 All of the functions mentioned were why we spent weeks staring into the little blue screens of the Akai samplers in the 1990's and why they were such a game changer when released.
Used to fear it - now I simple more than fighting to get songs to loop; SO MANY new ideas (melodies/drums, patterns). Great for "vocal stabs" too ("Yeah", "Uhuh" "REMIX" etc)
Is there a knob to move a slice from left to right around the sample once you set the slice lenght? I would like to know how to do that and map it to a knob on my controller.
How do you save changes you've made to a sample in simpler? Like moving a start point on a sample? Save only saves a simpler preset .adv file. I want to save the adjusted sample to a thumb drive and load it onto my other gigging computer -- but when I load up the .adv file it says sample is offline. If I drop the original sample in the sampler preset, the adjusted start point is gone. Annoying af. I've done hours of work adjusting the start point of these shaker one shots I have to make them sound tight... but I can't save/load them into another computer that way?
Hey, so this is what I struggled with for so long. I figured out a way to basically do this. Have your sample created in simpler. Then, add a separate audio track. At the top of the output channel for the audio track, where it says Ext. In, click on that and press “resampling”. Then, press “In”. Now, solo out the sample you created in simpler , while having the record button on your new audio track. Press record and voila, you have a new audio track with your sample that you can save with all your edits.
Hi Luca, thank you for your video was so useful! Can you please answer for one sort of question i have. If i drop bass in simpler or sampler and if i go higher or lower with the notes i play it changes it length. How to set up correctly so sample will have same velocity and length all the way along all octaves?
one day i made a baseline and i already exported it into audio, but i wanted ut in midi so i could play the melodic bassnotes so i put it into a simpler. later i realized it seemed to change the sound of it quite a lot. why is that?
What about if you add a sample to a clip and it comes with a pop up window asking if you want harmony, melody or drums? When I do this, I get the midi notes in a clip but nothing is playing.
Sounds like you're trying to drag audio into a midi-clip 'bay' which will launch the convert to midi function. Drag the to the bottom panel (like in this vid) instead.
Literally how do I do something as simple as play the sample that I've got in the Simpler window at the bottom so i can listen to what it sounds like and the changes I'm making? There is no Play button for it.
How tf do you tell Simpler what BPM a sample is, if it is incorrectly detected? So that warp will work. It can’t be true that I have to use an audio track.
Slow the vid down or watch it twice then..... If there's certain aspects you don't understand then try and find a tutorial that deal with that particular aspect (LFOs, filter, warping, etc. etc.)......
Yeah, you deserve a like and a follow! I created a whole song from that bass line alone. Very inspiring! The looping strings sound a lot like Scarface. Very cool!

Just outstanding. The signal to noise ratio (usable info vs not usable) of your videos is so high. My new favorite production tips channel. Well done.
Ableton has so much power, it's incredible really 👍
What a video! Detailed, structured, clean. Thank you so much!
Appreciate you taking the time to watch! 🙏

You are a great producer and teacher. Your channel is top for ableton and EDM
Just what I needed. Great video. Thank you!

Keep up the good work!
You ever think to look at the manual?
@@Tekmatic ^^^ comment that really, really didn't need to be made 🙄 ... people learn in different ways.
Excellent video! Amazing demonstration! Very well done.
What an awesome RUclips, thanks for the tips much appreciated! Can't wait to try these out. 🙌🏼
cannot thank you enough for all of these EXTRAORDINARY tutorial videos
A LOT of solid info, well organized and clearly presented. Very helpful!
Simpler Blew my mind. Thanks, Guy!

thank you so much for this. holy crap i have a LOTTTT to learn…
Great device and great tutorial!
Some good tips,
I learned so much,
Thank you

👍🏻 I’m more an Emu Ultra man but yeah
This was fantastic!!! Thank you!

Great for "vocal stabs" too ("Yeah", "Uhuh" "REMIX" etc)
If you're putting "REMIX" samples in your track, you're doing it wrong. "R-R-R-REMIX!". Lame.
how do I make the sample play?
Is there a knob to move a slice from left to right around the sample once you set the slice lenght? I would like to know how to do that and map it to a knob on my controller.

Any way that you have encountered to map sample start/end to macros?
Great tutorial man thanks
Glad you liked it! :)
Very helpful, thanks so much!!
Your basically Ben Kenobi , which makes me Skywalker so I’m down with that all round !! The Force is Definitely strong with you lol
My name being Luca people have always called me Luca Skywalker, so I'm glad I've finally reached Kenobi status haha
Quality, as always
Thank you!
What if it gets the warping wrong? Does simpler have an option to change the bpm of the sampler without exporting it and putting it back in?
how can you record external sound via audio interface?
Use Simpler all the time but never used that LFO section, thanks for the pointer. 👍
It's just awesome
one day i made a baseline and i already exported it into audio, but i wanted ut in midi so i could play the melodic bassnotes so i put it into a simpler. later i realized it seemed to change the sound of it quite a lot. why is that?
You say about the original sample being played back at C1 but the manual says C3?
great dude

ITS REALLY WORKED LOL THANK YOU DUDE
Thanks Luca...wish you were making new vids.
Bravo 🙌

great vid
thanks
i love u so much bro, thanks very much
hi there, where did you get that 909 hat?
Hey Daniel, theres heaps of free 909 packs online, worth going and grabbing one! Not sure exactly which one this is from.
Rip it from this video.
gracias
Bruh that little synth melody sounds like the beginning of the 'Ending Theme' in Scarface
How tf do you tell Simpler what BPM a sample is, if it is incorrectly detected? So that warp will work. It can’t be true that I have to use an audio track.
I can't hear the sample. How do I play the sample?
People should start with simple things lol!!
adhd doesnt make this easy
Lock in with hyper focus. You got to be in the right frame of mind but if you hit that wave, ride it till you drop. ADHD rocks!
Sorry, too fast to keep up with and not enough explanation for new users like me.
Slow the vid down or watch it twice then..... If there's certain aspects you don't understand then try and find a tutorial that deal with that particular aspect (LFOs, filter, warping, etc. etc.)......
@@airfixx_8952 10 months later, I understand 👍
@@airfixx_8952 Have you ever slowed a video down, and seen how distorted it becomes? It's easy for you to give unworkable idea you have never tried.
idk why people do these half assed tutorials. Show the full screen, show on what you're clicking.
Yeah, you deserve a like and a follow! I created a whole song from that bass line alone. Very inspiring! The looping strings sound a lot like Scarface. Very cool!
