this video is gold... for the life of me I could NOT find a vid on RUclips about quantizing/warping, specifically in Ableton for guitars. Thanks so much dude, this was great, and you're a great teacher
Oh man, that’s AWESOME to hear! Your comment comes at the perfect time too. If you notice, on the channel I pivoted to doing content on AI Image/video (I still cover some music stuff, generally related to AI as how a musician can use it)- anyhow, just this morning I was thinking about delisting the old Ableton/Guitar stuff. Man, I’m glad I didn’t. Literally: your comment just kept this video up! Thank you, and super happy you found it helpful!
@@TheoreticallyMediahaha wow, now I’m glad I commented! Please don’t remove the old vids, I’m sure lots of people still use them to help them troubleshoot stuff! Also, I’m super interested to see how AI can affect music production. I’ve already been experimenting with the Ozone 11 plugin from Izotope for mastering which has an AI analyze and master your song. It’s not perfect, you still need to tweak the results it gives you, but super useful/interesting nonetheless. Thanks again for the useful vids btw!
That's excellent to hear! And I'm glad this one helped! For some reason (probably my fault) the Arrangement video doesn't seem to get as many views as the Session one, which is kind of a shame, since Arrangement is obviously where everything actually comes together! Anyhow, again, really happy to hear both of these were helpful! I think you've finally given me the confidence to start tackling the live looping tutorial! There's so much to cover there, I've been strangely intimated by it!
Thanks for this. It seems like if you're going to mix down a subset of tracks on Lite to free up more recording tracks then you probably want to take care with their relative volume levels since it looks you're making an irreversible edit in order to free up tracks, yes? Do you have any tricks for storing out the original individual tracks, say to some copy of the project, so you can re-mix them later if you start to realize the overall mix needs a different treatment? Or maybe you could keep your original clips in the current Live set by duplicating them into a scratch area of your timeline starting from time zero and running up a time further into your timeline when the actual song starts (i.e. push your song start time far out into the timeline so you have a scratch area at the start of your timeline - you wouldn't want your scratch area to be late in your timeline in case your song might get long enough to overlap the scratch clips.) Hope that made enough sense to follow and reply to.
Oh, thank YOU! I'm glad you found the arrangement video! The "Part 1" that goes over Session mode seems to be the one that people gravitate to the most, but I think Arrangement is where the real juice in Ableton is!
@@TheoreticallyMedia Agreed! I will be watching the whole series, I found the lessons very useful - Thanks for putting in the time and effort into this, really appreciated!
Tim I'm a guitarist who just got a recording setup and have to learn Ableton from the ground up - You're a lifesaver with this stuff. When I resample a couple of tracks, if I have two tracks panned left and right to add depth to it does it keep the stereo balance that I originally set up in my recording?
Great video. I am wondering if my style of tracking works with Ableton. I set locators within a range, and record multiple takes until I get it right. In the end I have a comp stack with multiple takes. To my knowledge, session view does not support comps. The second issue with recording in session view is that often, the take is clipped on the 1 unless you time it perfectly. Are these issues resolvable in Ableton? I want to be sure before I switch over from Logic.
Thanks a ton for this. This software is not user friendly for a newb, and this video helps tremendously. Nice guitar solo btw.. it sounded like a nod to Dickey Bettes from Allman Brothers. 👍👍
There is kind of a steep learning curve, but once you’ve got it, you’ll be sailing in no time! And hey, thanks! That Allman Pentatonic/Mixo thing is my jam. Kind of my natural state. One of my earliest musical (listening) memories is hearing Jessica as a kid. It stuck in there HARD. Haha, no complaints though!

Phew, glad it's still here! The quantizing/warping/resampling bits are good, answers I couldn't easily find elsewhere.
Here from reddit, thanks for the informative videos! I watched the previous video and just finished this one. Definitely gained more clarity!

best lessons for ableton. very simple and on point.
beautifully explained. i wish I would have seen this video first when I started
Thank you very much, this was just what I needed!
Excellent to hear! This is kind of an older video, but I’m always really happy to know that folks are still getting value from
It!
@@TheoreticallyMedia Yes, your ableton videos has helped me save time tremendously!
Another good video! I wasn't aware of Quantizing at all. Thanks.
That’s awesome! And quantizing is gonna come in really handy when we get to drums!!

@@TheoreticallyMedia I recognized that influence right away.. I always loved that mixo flavor as well.👍
