Thanks man

[@seanhiebert]

Tons of helpful tips here. I don't know how I never noticed the randomize function for the macros. That one is definitely going in my workflow.

[@KermodeMusic]

Right? Such a good sound design tool, randomize and resample away

[@mthomas1091]

Always the smoothest teacher 👍

[@jamg6311]

@3:00 You can always create 1 extra note when warping and then it will snap to the end of what you were trying to warp. Then delete the note.

[@allancerf9038]

Kermode - wow, the hold shift and then move midi notes is quite helpful.
I have a question. I admit I am a Version 11 Suite Power user but sometimes stubbornly blunder on inefficiently. Here is a basic question no one will answer.
Say I'm drawing volume automation with the pencil tool. Is there in Live or any DAW a way to force the program to draw a straight line? I'm not talking holding shift or control which sort of works ofI'm saying I start drawing a line with and it doesn't go up or down at all. It is locked as I draw so if I wanted to lower volume to say, -6.5 db, once I get there the entire line I draw is at -6.5 db, not "pretty close."
Thanks!

[@KermodeMusic]

I think the most effecient way to do this is to create an automation point where you want it to start, another where you want it to end, then right click to add a specific value (say -6.5), then both points are 100% what you want it to be

[@allancerf9038]

@@KermodeMusic Thanks very much.

[@shakuganoshanayoutube4112]

Misleading video title though… these are not in ableton live 12 :)

[@KermodeMusic]

Yes 12 tips, for Ableton 😊

[@tendrel_sound]

great vid, but you might want to consider changing the title to “Ableton Live 11 - Twelve Tips You Need to Know” because I thought this was for Live 12

[@levispose1007]
