Thanks for your videos on Enso!, I hope the people at Audio Damage see this so they can continue updating Enso as it hasn't been updated in almost 2 years, I wish they could improve the reduction of artifacts when moving sectors
Zynaptiq Pitch Map will force all the pitches into your scale of choosing. Audio will have artifacts but the results can be stunningly weird and wonderful. Record forward and backward, slow down and speed up the pitch and it all stays in key. Welcome to sound on sound looping 2.0.
Absolutely great tutorial, thank you very much Andre. Since yesterday i have got enso too. I see that you play live into enso. How can i make this in Ableton (with an additional external soundcard). I'm a clarinet player and i want to do this in the same way via mic. Thank you.
Thanks! I set the Ableton buffer as low as possible, to minimize latency. If I run into issues with crackling or glitchy (in a bad way) audio, I raise the buffer a bit at a time, until I've found something that's workable. I monitor through Ableton, so I'm not hearing any of the pre-Ableton signal. Then, it's creating a MIDI track in Ableton that receives the Enso commands, and routing the MIDI out from that to whatever track Enso is active on. Let me know if that makes sense, and/or if you have questions. :)
Something else just occurred to me: since you're a clarinet player, and getting your sound acoustically, you probably don't need to hear your "dry," pre-Enso sound through Ableton, unless there are specific software-based things you do to the clarinet (other than Enso) that you want to be able to hear.
@@andrelafosse Hi Andre, thank you very much for your efforts to support me. It seems that I have some problems in understanding the monitoring in Ableton. Here are my settings in Ableton: 2 Tracks (1 Audio and 1 Midi, where Enso is loaded in). I connected a mic into my extern soundcard to trigger the Audio channel (Audio Ext. In) > no problem. But what follow afterwards? How is the Miditrack (respective enso) able to capture the audiosignal? How do I have to set the Midi-configuratin? You wrote: ... "Then, it's creating a MIDI track in Ableton that receives the Enso commands, and routing the MIDI out from that to whatever track Enso is active on." I don't understand this sentence. A Miditrack will create automaticaly? ("Then, it's creating a MIDI track..."). Apart from this, I have read about monitoring in the Ableton manual, that the soundcard must activated in the Midipreferences?? is this so? My soundcard does only appear in the Audiopreferences, in Midipreferences it won't appear...maybe this is the point for the issue? I would be glad, if you can describe me exactly the Midisettings (if possible ;)). Thank you very much
@@andrelafosse Hi Andre again, I've connected another external soundcard (Motu 828) to rule out that it might be an issue with the soundcard. The Motu is recognized in Abletons Midi-Preferences, so I clicked to Track. In Abletons Midichannel the Motu is listed now. In any case, it still doesn't work. I don't know how and what exactly I have to set in the Ableton tracks. I think it would help me a lot, if you can tell me your Ableton settings (routing prozedure). I spent a lot of time to find out what's the problem (YT, manual (Ableton, Enso)), with no results. You are the only one, so far, to input an extern audio signal via Audiotrack to Enso by playing the guitar. Thank you very much again for your kind support.
The Boss stuff is really coming from more of a "song structure" kind of approach. It's geared towards being able to quickly record one or more loops, and switch between them. Things like Enso, and most of the other gear I cover, are much more in the "sound design" school: lots of options for manipulating and evolving a loop in many different ways, but not particularly focused on getting song structures happening. There's stuff the Boss gear does that Enso doesn't, as well! But I agree that I find this side of things waaaaaay more inspiring, personally.

Awesome videos. love Enso. Main thing i learned with Enso is to always record everything you do. 👍

Fix stuff in Melodyne after.

When you see that what is the value of an RC 505 , wich appears so limited compared to Enso , right ?
