Hey, Scott- thank you so much for the great tutorial! As a long-time gig/session musician myself, and now as a home studio composer/producer, anything that saves me time, especially saving lots of time, is great! Comping is just one such massive time saver- but you've proven that you don't have to skimp on quality (if done properly, as in your impromptu piece), which also is very important. I really enjoyed your ad hoc jam, here, which clearly demonstrates your talent as well as this great feature of Abelton. It also sounds completely un-like a computer/robot production from a lab, somewhere. It grooves, it fits together nicely, sounds completely natural, and isn't quantized-to-death. LOL! As a years-long Cubase, Studio One user myself, and normally doing songs and entire film/video scores, I have decided to take a second look at Ableton Live to help me produce more, and in less time, and this is one great feature that gets my attention. Once again, saving time- or better stated- maximizing time, is crucial for maximum output of maximum quality, while keeping the creativity/inspiration flowing. Thank you again, for the great video, and I wish you all the best on your personal music adventures. I'll try a demo of Ableton Live and check it out. Side Note: I know that Cubase and Studio One also have comping features, and they both are great DAWs in many ways, but they still are a bit of a pain to work with on long stretches, and what you were able to do here, with the great quality of the final product, and in a fraction of the time it normally would take in those other DAWs, proves the worth of Ableton as more than just a loop/live program. Bravo! Ableton- hire this man! (:
it's a pity I didn't know this half a year ago, it would have saved me a few days of my life!
You can do all this in arrangement view... just set a loop region and start recording. No need to drag from session view. Thanks for the vid.
This is pretty slick. Like it. What keyboard shortcuts are you using to move the loop section around?

Thanks Key Man! Comments like this one really motivate me, especially in these lean days!

Ableton 11 is adding a comping feature, so we won’t have to use hacks anymore to do comping.
