Lesson 010: Global Groove Control in Live 8

Where did the global shuffle/swing setting go in Live 8? I wondered that myself in the beginning. With the new Groove Pool, the whole groove thing has changed. Here's how you get your global groove under control.

@AirbaseOfficial Thank you for all your help and advice! Dont worry about haters that will simply talk bad but never try to do better. I myself as well as many others do appreciate your efforts!
I have a nice amount of experience with audio, but listening to others techniques and workflow's is very helpful to grow and expand! :)

this was perfect. I needed that tutorial

[@spaaske]

Thanks man, clear and short tutorial! ♥

@erreur That click is an added audio for notification of when I'm clicking. The info tab is for newbies to further understand where I'm clicking.

Cool man! I didn't know you could add shuffle/swing to audio! I thought it was restricted to midi only, sweet!!!!!

[@AirbaseMusic]

It's a way of displace certain notes to get a groovy sound. If you listen to the track playing at the end of this tutorial, you can see me adjusting the amount of swing from min to max. There you can hear what it does to the sound.

[@AirbaseMusic]

@ricksilvestri Not sure as to what you're looking for. The groove adjusts the rythm inbetween beats, and the metronome is on-beat. For that reason, no groove can change the metronome... Or maybe I'm misunderstanding?

[@chrisspob]

cant believe i never thought of just doing that
tah mate!

[@treenquil]

The track sounds good! Is it a published track and if so could you give the link for it?

[@silvestrisound]

Thank you for the video. I'm wondering if there is a way to apply the global groove to the metronome. I don't see that feature in Live 8, and I doubt it's even in the feature spec for the new build. Regardless, your video helped me visualize this oft-overlooked subject.

[@xFunnyFreemanx]

thankyou for the tutorial mate

[@KelMckeown1]

Does that work in session view too, for playing live? And can you still map the global groove control to a fader / knob on your MIDI controller, so you can adjust gradually when performing live?

[@AirbaseMusic]

ScreenFlow on the Mac, CamStudio on the PC.

[@AlexMoschopoulos]

I'm a little lost. What would one use this global swing/groove setting for?

[@rymebox]

What sample library are you using for the kicks?

[@libraveu]

What is swing exactly ? and why would it be useful in a track?

[@silvestrisound]

@AirbaseOfficial I'm sorry: I will explain more: Currently the metronome plays a fixed crotchet. However, imagine a clip with lots of tempo fluctuations - say a bassline with human rhythmic feel. Now, say we output that "human" bassline to a drummer who could play off that AND the metronome. The catch is the metronome should follow the human bassline! THAT would truly be elastic audio!
It's an odd feature request, I grant you, but good for those of using live instruments!

[@bonjourmyfriends]

Thanks man.

[@IISG93II]
