#33 Bouncing Ball :: Ableton Live :: Aphex Twin / Autechre

ABLETONDAILY.COM :: Ableton Live Tutorial :: How to make the bouncing ball sound as herd on older Aphex Twin. Then later an Autechre sound.

[@WhispersOfRuins]

One of the all time best tutorials on YT.

[@DrQTron]

I swear I have learned something new about ableton every day since I got it (circa live 5, lite version!!) Thanks for this tip!

[@dirtydsrc]

Huge Aphex Twin and Autechre fan. Very nice. Thanks for sharing. :)

[@ThenighflierX]

your tutorials are always a surprise! thanks

[@WhispersOfRuins]

I know Telefon Tel Aviv and Second Woman use this technique also, thanks for the great education!

[@JimmyGr90]

Might as well be the best tutorial ever.

[@TheDeelasvegas]

if you automate the reverb diffusion network and gain on the limiter you can also have some cool results

[@arabara1988]

like 2019... found perfect... thanks brother :)

[@fasznyak]

much respect on your work, mate.

[@MatteoMarsonMusic]

That's a nice technique, and i use it quite often! But i think the bouncing effect could be more realistic if you go for granular resynthesis instead of chainging the loop lenght into the sampler; that's because you may want the tail of the previous trigger to overlap a little bit the new one to avoid that kind of hard sync effect (which is supercool anyway!). It's pretty easy to achieve that with Max, PD, Csounds or other lenguages, but you can do that also just using a good granular synth such as Alchemy. Good tutorial, keep on!

[@metatron7515]

this is true! but judging from the title i think he's trying to show how Aphex Twin made similar sounds a couple decades ago, nowadays you could just as easily mic an actual bouncing ball and run it through a MIDI trigger with a kick sample on it!

[@TuningFreak23]

thanks man , I was wondering how to do that , but not with a kick , I use a leadsynth instead

[@andreyosipov1525]

Thanks for this!

[@Cschive]

You made my mouth drop, thumbs up

[@MrJohnnyPetey]

Great Video, good instructions. I love this sound, i CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH.

[@hpmnkxhpxl7117]

Cool, Granular Synthesis before Granular synthesis ^^

[@IDontReadReplies42069]

LOL granular synthesis isn't just any sample with the loop really shortened.

[@portalsounds]

very nice mark, a pleasure werkin with you~

[@ThePanagiotis70]

very cool one ! waiting for new cool things from you ..thanks

[@AndreyKole]

more, more,more. very nice !

[@RCmies]

Bucephalus bouncing ball

[@chopincj7530]

RCmies lol that’s what i thought

[@Lets-Drone-With-Bone]

really interesting tutorial cheers for this one :-)

[@unclegusyo]

this is brilliant! subbed

[@Tentcalixospells666]

Thanks for the video. This is great.

[@Microblogula]

Incredible

[@Jez4prez]

heh gantz graf, that's what it reminded me of too when I heard it. Man these videos are fantastic, there are about a billion dubstep tutorials on the web and nothing on more experimental / idm stuff, so very glad I found this. :-) Would you say it's just as easy to do this in other daws too such as logic?

[@glitchforswines]

Really cool tricks . Thx for the video : )

[@abletondaily]

@konjunktion26 I don't think it's either one. Live is a whole different way of working then most DAWs. You only work in one window which is a plus. The interface is clean and the plugins are decent quality, very few gimmicks. I find it VERY stable and easy to use. I use to complain when I missed a feature from another DAW... But you get over that part after a while. The file browser is my favorite compared to others. Good luck!

[@abletondaily]

@konjunktion26 Live is just like any other DAW, it's only a "Tool" to get a job done. It's hard to rate it on a scale. Live is fantastic for electronic music production. But for recording bands... one might find Cubase or Logic more ideal.

[@None-ch6zm]

I learned this from FPC on FL Studio. Considering it comes prepackaged with "Glitch/IDM" drum midis.

[@miuziqa]

haha dogs love Aphex!

[@goldenfurniture123]

i love it

[@TheMysticbeat]

Awesome, subscribed obviously!!

[@opussoap]

Great Video! Thanks

[@brennuvargr]

Amazing!

[@TheAntinet]

@konjunktion26 My two cents is that I bought Ableton because I found it to be the least painful DAW to use. That said, it still sounds quite digital, and you can make plenty of mistakes to screw up your sound. Fact is, I'm still waiting to hear any softsynth that beats my real keyboards. II can spend ages trying to make a softsynth decent and still not get there, and when I play the real thing, the sound is instantly more pleasant. That said, softsynths are far easier to sequence.

[@abletondaily]

@jodorowsky182 Thanks! I'm seriously not sure where it came from, some of the samples are like 5 years old and I must have thousands of kick drums! You can have the kick by downloading my project file.

[@radfaraf]

Pretty cool works in Ableton 11 even still, but I noticed when it gets to really small sample size on mine it stops making it any smaller than a certain size and can't get the quite super tiny and barely there effect that is the video because of it.

[@Andonchoto]

aw man I thought you actually were making one that sounds like AT's work,,, do a video when you add the modulating flangers and top secret stuff ontop, those are what make this effects LIVE :)

[@kenshi70]

@pod054321 you can draw curves with the pencil tool in ableton

[@CYBEREALIFE]

My cats gets scared with "White Blur 2" and Mr Oizo's "Coco" Weird cat

[@That667Guy]

my dog barked to that beginning sound, too

[@QUIZFILTER]

How did Aphex do this in 1996? Editing a single sample by hand & eye tediously?

[@bouzivra3301]

very cool :P

[@blackyb27]

fantastic thanks i love u

[@RadioDust1]

thanks :)

[@KristinaPetukhina]

Here it is midi tabs and sheets of Apex Twin shho.bandcamp.com/track/aphex-twin-alberto-balsalm-piano-cover-sheet-midi-tabs-chords

[@darthbrooklyn]

Thats exactly how Swedish house mafia did the beginning of "One"

[@diegobricio96]

Hey! I have not found a way to do this in logic pro. DO you know how to do it?

[@TheMysticbeat]

You sound like Bob Ross man!!!

[@pod054321]

when will Live finally use automation curves/shapes?

[@Cegor]

Glad to say we got automation curves :')

[@Ljsnik]

I could find the download link, any help?

[@Robby303]

the software is called ableton live? and how much is it?

[@khanexorcist]

:D killa

[@EightsEverywhere]

Lol

[@ForpLiszt]

Aphex Twin & Autechre don't use ableton live! for sure!
