learn division and basic addition please
This is simply one of the best step-by-step tutorials on harnessing the power and flexibility of ABLETON. I am truly inspired and will be watching this video again, and again.
lots of good stuff here - I love the tip about extracting a chain... I never realized that was there!
I liked the the minimal robotic sound you started with personally
I mean yeah, i feel like a lot of this is pick your poison, just a lot of stuff you could use but not necessarily all at once
Love how you actually explain what the knobs you are dialing in are actually doing, I had no idea what the knobs on the post and pre fx's of the saturator actually did until today. Thank you!
As always I love watching your tutorials, especially as your a stock only plugins man,helps so much!!
Cheers.
This is exactly what I've been wanting to figure out. I've just learned by trial and error all this time.. Thanks for your work on this channel, man.
I always leave your videos with so much more knowledge than what’s in the video title. Your videos are fantastic, keep them coming!
Such a great video. This has so many great tips for basic drum processing, too.
Thanks for another great video, Anthony! I've been jumping through a lot of unnecessary hoops not knowing about that random panning setting.
Every time you upload i get better as a musician, thank you Anthony ♥️
This is great! thanks for sharing, it's great to keep it simple, but yet so full of interesting variations. Also, a great way to use only stock ableton, no need to go out buying vst's you never really use fully.
Learned so much from this, thank you!! A similar video on synths and leads would be great if possible.
When the time comes I'll be buying all your courses.
Great man.
Great art, these effects make my drums much more alive.
Thanks
Best ableton tutorials out here
Thank you again, Anthony... awesome lesson. Having a hard time deciding which course to purchase. Also wanted to ask if you would do another electric guitar signal / sound design lesson with a focus on neo-soul / Tom Misch vibes. If not, Im gonna try to get Echo Locations to make content going over his signal chain!
+1 for tom misch styled stuff
Thank you, I learn so much from these!
Great job as always!
Always enjoying your vids
Such a great channel and teacher
Damn you are the unsung hero. See you at summer camp
Glue compressor has a quirk in that it changes the threshold if you change the ratio. I've seen people preview the ratios so many times without adjusting threshold.
Mans a legend! You're a legend mate!
Thank you very much. Very inspiring indeed! I really hope live electronics become mainstream on day!
Very interesting and helpful video bro! Thank you so much for sharing ❤️🔥
Amazing. Really good techniques!!! thank you
Thanks for the video. The timestamps were really helpful
You're amazing dude thank you
amazing man, thank you so much!
Great video.. I learnt a lot. Thank you 🙏
top quality stuff !
Awesome video, thanks for that!
Great video with useful tips. Thank you!
great vid, learnt a lot from this. Nice one!
Thank you master sensei
Thank you once more for a wonderful video
Man you are a good teacher.
very helpful my dude
thx for everything you are the best
amazing!!
wow, this is really helpful !
woow. thx so mouch for this tutorial
I don't know if they changed it for version 11, but in my copy of Ableton Live 10 on Windows, changing velocity by dragging your mouse on the notes is done with Alt + Click/drag. Ctrl + Click/drag creates a duplicate set of whatever notes you have highlighted.
DOPE. THANKS
Excelent video !
Do you use reverbs on every track to put ambience or throw everything onto a return channel with a reverb? What would be the difference?
"That's just not gonna do," at 0:46.
That's all I needed to hear. I'm along for the ride. That's this video's version of "get in loser, we're gonna make better beats."
GREAT!!!
EXTREMALLY GOODDDDD BEYOND GOOD
are these drum samples in one of your sample packs? thanks!
How'd you get envelope midi?
Great video, my dad got me into ableton and it's tough to try make some modern beats, but I'm learning slowly. I mostly have trouble getting a drum beat to flow and build upon my synth loops if you get what I mean.
I used to spend some time making midi drums to use just to pop in and then would come back and tweak them late.
I would make straight loops and also breaks but with slight changes to make it sound interesting but would make them fit better after I had laid down what I wanted.
Just having a day a week on drums made me much better at programming drums and because I save the session to save time setting up would save me loads of time to get into it.
Listening to good drummer's in your free time, made me realise that less is more and variation is your friend.
But if I could say one thing that really switched it on for me, that would be 'Syncopation'
@@b00ts4ndc4ts stopped a while ago but recently started thinking about ableton again, appreciate the advice
Top shelf content very stealable 🔥🐯🍒♥️
one feature that helps is slight changes in pitch which you can do in battery: not sure about ableton
Liking mostly for the pun but will come back and watch asap
hi Anthony, I'm just got into music production and considering buying your course on mixing and mastering. And I found that it offer 40% off educational discount for ableton. Will I get the discount if I buy the course? If that does I'll definitely get the course. thx for your work!
The question this video has me asking myself is, how have I been using Ableton Live for 7 years without ever touching the groove pool or taking time to understand how it works? Maybe because I got a bit too settled into the workflow of FL Studio and Logic 9/X in my first year of making music, and have been slowly drip-feeding myself Ableton's exclusive features. I really need to read the manual hahaha
Hey man, I got a nice Granulator 2 tip for you.....I call it " Continuous granulation " ....basically I've found a way to feed a constant stream of audio into Granulator 2 .....check it out man .
@@generic5284 Thanks. I didn't even mention Granulator here so I'm pleasantly surprised as I just recently started trying it out for the first time. I'm guessing it's on your channel since you didn't provide a link.
do you ever work with generative music?
last year i downloaded an Ableton pack w midi plugins specific for that but lately i dont have much time for it, still once in a while i watch some prod videos and yours are on the top.
if you do like that i would love to see your approach to generative music
btw "probability" was the name of the pack its for max 4 live, had to check x)
Trank you❤
Every good beet deserves a good turnip;)
You were wondering why, on saturator, by dialing depth down it raises up volume and by dialing up it smooths volume.
It makes sense actually.
When you rise, over saturates those bands then pushes their level down as it hits the (soft) saturation threshold.
When you dial down, it attenuates saturation, but considering that the drive knob is likely quite up, it raises up the sheer volume on those bands
This is what I guess indeed...
What to do if I dont quite hear some of the differences when he applies the effects? I can hear them when they're exaggerated, but for example when he changed the order of the glue compression, I got nothing. Anyone help?
train your ear, keep trying stuff like this for yourself and learn to hear the difference!
other thing is on what equipment were you listening to this??
omg that's crazy
So I stopped using drum rack for mixing purposes so I can EQ each individual sound. How do you do that when it's all together like this? Or would you just group everything and put the effect buss on the group to get around that? Cus I like the groove trick alot.
Each cell in drum rack that contains a sound is a discrete audio channel. Just drop an EQ or any effect on the cell you want to process and BOOM
@@SeedtoStage WoaaaH Game Changer I'm back into drum rack baby! LOL Stoked to see you at the Big Dirty with Marvel Years dood it's gonna be tite. :)
@@SeedtoStage I was looking for this comment, because I dont really understand one thing. Why did you extract your kick drum chains from drumrack to separate track to just group it all back together with other drums.. to get the exact same result as original drum rack.?? am I missing something?
cant check your website
Anthony, I bought your first courses, and I'm interested in the sound design, but according to the end of the course I should be getting a discount. The link either isn't there or doesn't work for the discount. I don't know how else to get in touch with you either. Thanks.
Yo thank you SO MUCH for bringing this to my attention. The teachable links were broken on the final pages. They are fixed now. Enjoy!
I followed this lesson and used what I had learnt no one of my new tracks and EVERYONE who heard it asked me who was playing the drums? I said my new mate called Mid Dee.
👍
"Extract chain" Holy cow!
Cool tutorial and I like analog feel you add to the drums, but imo i think you pick a bit wrong samples for demonstration. this digital clicks, which are maybe parts of the samples, or created because of the layering, destroys the groove. And as an advice, try not to dial in dry/wet 9like you did with reverb), but do opposite, go to maximum amounts and then dial back from them, thats much precise way to find a sweet spot imo. cheers
probably just a thing of a taste. I really like to start at 0% too, not 100%. and I doubt it can be more precise, that just doesn't make sense to me..
Actually thinking about getting your course too!
Do it.
OTT :)
whoever can suggest courses where they can teach how to make music like on the HATE channel? all that is on RUclips is not at all about that. acquired several courses there, too, teach how to play music from the last century
Please turn off the help window as it’s very distracting! Thanks for making good videos.
Take it down to 69... its all about finding that sweet spot...
Nerdy !

suuuuuuuuubbbbbscriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiibed
How the fuck did I not know about ctrl-drag for volume???
this guy actually read the manual
I never knew thats what base and depth do on saturator
1st :)
Wanted to pass. Glad I didn’t
Very good video, but the percussion sounds are awful xD
