Personally I don’t think you need to learn TOO much more for the information in this video to be digestible. Something I did a lot when I was first starting out was religiously watching tutorials or tips and tricks videos. I would seriously fall asleep learning about production. Actually, I still do that to this day lol I would even watch videos on genres I don’t even make! Just watch stuff and when you have a question about the stuff you’re watching, start searching your question on google. If your question isn’t there, post your own question and someone should respond.

You might already know this, but you can get closer to a version of the first method if you set Ableton's global quantisation to none. That way you're not locked on to the grid either. Not my preferred way of achieving this, but could be a nice workaround for Lite!

Hi. I came to Ableton by the fact that it was not possible in Cubase to simply shoot a guitar loop for my edrums noodling sessions. I tried it with Groove Agent, but... Anyway, here I got of the track as you start to use the grouping. I have to watch this again. The chain selector I know. 😊 I use it to use different presets in Superior Drummer 3. Is it possible to save "states" in Ableton with regard to the routing? Or switching on/off VSTs? I would guess it might possible. You know, setting an Ableton drum rack, a few SD3 kits or chromatic percussion in an FX rack and then switching the MIDI routing of the ekit, sample pad to SD3, or drum rack...

Could you make it so that the recorded loops in each looper get recorded into separate audio tracks, so that they become clips in the session view ready to be triggered let’s say from the push 2 controller? Or with the midi foot pedal controller like you have, just switch to another midi bank and trigger them from there? does that allow for more intricate live looping possibilities or is it rather impractical? The reason I’m asking is because I’d like to have the possibility to post process/ mix whatever I came up with after a live looping performance. Also: I’m I was to have some performances in 4/4, and others in 6/8, is there a way to switch between those tempos via mapped midi as well? Is there a way to have Ableton detect the tempo of what I input in first, so that the rest of my live looping / clip recordings are in sync?

@HugoMoroux2 жыл бұрын
Recorded loops can be clicked and dragged into the arrangement view, or your clip slots, which would be one way of saving those loop recordings. For tempo detection, you can MIDI map your tap tempo button, or set your first looper up to 'Set & Follow song tempo'. And when it comes to time signatures changes, I think they're best set up per scene (in the Session View). You can do this by typing the meter in the name of the scene itself. As always with Ableton, there are multiple ways of doing things - I hope this helps make you a bit less overwhelmed, I know it's not the easiest thing to explain in text!

Hello, thank you! i m used to the BOSS RC 505, which means a) visual feedback of EACH looper, everytime! b) absolutely zero latency when it comes to "Transpose" and "Guitar to bass" effects (basically pitch shifter, octaver). I tried re-creating the rc505 in ableton but both a and b wont work, haha. What a pity! And that's with a very good CPU/RAM/SSD and RME Babyface interface. When i use e.g. the max for life simple pitch shift, or a 'bigger' VST, everytime the latency/Delay for the vocals is too high to have fun with and beatbox tightly. Do you have some tipps for both problems mabye? i m also wondering if the Ableton Push2 would be able to show several looper plugins in its display, but i ve never ever seen anything like it in any video on YT. Very strange for a "live" DAW.
@HugoMoroux2 жыл бұрын
Hi there, I'm not sure if it's possible to visually represent the device view of multiple tracks. Perhaps if you set up a second window, you could at least see two simultaneously? As far as latency goes, Max for Live sadly seems to introduce some delay for me as well, so I avoid them for live sessions. Outboard gear such as effect pedals is probably your best bet to minimise latency!
@sternenherz2 жыл бұрын
@@HugoMoroux Thanks, i kind of expected this - interesting that you also get some delay with those plugins. Concerning the second window of Ableton: this is a sad story also because somehow they decided that only 1 clip-view can be open at a time. So the other window gets forced into Arrangement view, when the first has ClipView, haha!

Nice tutorial, thank you! I am looking to do loops for different guitar parts with different effects, for e.g one rhythm, a lead and then transposing the guitar to a bass. At the end of the first guitar part I would like to immediately play the second part and not wait for the loop to loop again, is this possible with the last setup you had shown? Would I be able to hit a second pedal to change the track (second guitar part/effect)coming into the loop and it will keep looping? I have managed to get this working with the session view and not using the Ableton looper but I have to hit 3 pedals: Hit the first pedal once to stop the loop Hit the second pedal once to move to the next track Hit the second pedal again to start that loop Sorry for the long question, hope that makes sense. If I can just hit one pedal once this would be ideal.
@HugoMoroux10 ай бұрын
If I understood your question correctly: you can split your parts up into two different tracks, and then connect a pedal to stop the first track while playing the second track. You'd have to have your set planned out for something like this of course (perhaps pre-recording some parts before the performance), which probably wouldn't work great in an improv scenario. I hope that helps

@HugoMoroux2 жыл бұрын
Sure, you can always combine method 1 and 2 in whichever way you want, depending on what instruments you're using. That's basically what method 3 is doing, with a specific way or organising the many different instances of the Looper audio effect. The problem with return tracks is that you'll continuously be sending audio to them, unless you manually disable the send - so that's unfortunately not very effective for our purposes here. Groups are a neat way of circumventing this problem, because they're only audible as soon as the recording is playing back (this is because we set the 'Input > Output' control on the Looper in the group to 'Never'). I hope that clarifies things a bit. It's a pretty complex set up the first time around, but it'll make sense as you put it together bit by bit. Good luck!
