Ableton Live Lofi Hiphop Tutorial #3 "Lost" Breakdown

[@downtempo3720]

This is really helpful. The simplicity is a revelation. Finding direct information about how to approach arrangement, especially in more obscure styles, is very difficult. I will watch every one of these you make.

[@bladeceek]

I appreciate it man!

[@FreeRealEstate]

You're a boss for making these videos dude. Super informative, keep up the good work!

[@bladeceek]

Thanks man! I appreciate it. As long as people want them ill keep making them :)

[@FreeRealEstate]

Awesome! I was wondering, I know it's not really your style, but would you be able to cover some sampling tips in one of your future videos?

[@bladeceek]

Definitely. I was thinking of doing one of the song at the beginning of this video. I sampled from vinyl, plugged a lil melody into sampler and repitched it to my liking. Thanks for the idea!

[@FreeRealEstate]

Excellent, I look forward to it. :)

[@FORSAI]

this beat is insane. thx for posting

[@blacklava4978]

Just want to echo what everyone else is saying here and firstly thank you for these tuts, they are exactly what I have been looking for and very much appreciated and secondly to say please keep them up and produce more! Really looking forward to the rest!!

[@bladeceek]

Thanks for the positivity man! i dont plan on stopping

[@ehshasa]

could you share that piano sample? It's really pretty.

[@skiballetbronzemedalist]

I really like the audio effect chain you have on the master, particularly how you take the width down. Really great tutorial.

[@5XWAZM]

please make more of this and dont stop..even if you not getting a ton of views..im here😀

[@bladeceek]

Definitely bro!

[@KaliBeatsYoSoyAquel]

May not be many views at first but you're gaining subscribers!! I'm loving these videos!

[@bladeceek]

+Kali Beats thanks man!

[@rough_operations]

[@AppleJosh0]

Thanks man! I love watching your videos!

[@ehshasa]

this was an awesome breakdown. thanks so much!

[@billyblackburn864]

really like the track m8. nice chill tutorial as well. +1 for dryer sounds.

[@Frothtastic]

shit, I'd been bumping this non stop. real dope to see the process behind it

[@abner9976]

Great video! Love the shirt btw haha

[@bladeceek]

;)

[@ebyanrezgui88]

got the same tshirt as you bro haha. thanks so much for breaking this track down

[@snipitydoda]

I like the sidechain. In regular edm its a no no to have so much attack, but it makes that sound what it is.

[@bladeceek]

I agree, Some people are anal about sidechain but for this style its a must. Gives the song more of a groove

[@OblivionWonderlust]

Your voice is so calming

[@soulbells5615]

would love that piano sample! good work my dude!

[@Sawboo]

Love the videos man, thank you.

[@surprise7002]

I love your music.

[@KNWELLE]

[@bladeceek]

[@robmech255]

hey man could you link that vinyl drum pack?? I tried googling it and I can't find it lol

[@_portsmyth]

Here is a link with the vinyl pack amongst some other bits and bobs: www.hiphop-universe.com/underground/samples/327281-hip-hop-drum-kits-wav.html

[@robmech255]

thanks bro

[@threal6870]

Where's the piano download?

[@tombritton4295]

Great videos, any chance of a sample pack release?

[@bladeceek]

Im thinking of setting up a little store to release some presets

[@munk2739]

i agree you should put some sample packs together man. I wouldn't mind paying for something like that, especially with a tutorial on the track as guidance

[@jnnysnny]

very nice, thanks for the video buddy :)

[@MrNitrocification]

man i wanna learn how to create those lofi beats but im just a beginner without a midi controller :( any tips ?

[@hazevision7378]

you don't NEED a controller - you can just draw notes and beats in the piano roll. alternatively, you can use your qwerty keyboard, if you absolutely have to, but it feels kinda awkward

[@Chris-pk9ec]

can you let me know the name of your casette tape please??

[@5XWAZM]

besides phonec 2, what other vsts do you recommend that would give a similar feel

[@bladeceek]

Any synths recorded to tape then put into sampler will do man. Thats my favorite technique right now. Just buy a shitty tape recorder and make your own synths.

[@MrNitrocification]

you should do a video where you show how to do the keys, like the crusty piano :P

[@M2m154]

lovin your videos mate. Whats the name of that tape recorder again?

[@bladeceek]

Sony TCM-200DV

[@M2m154]

cheers!

[@osirismarshall]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is this how you're recording your piano samples?: Play a note with your keyboard Record that note with your tape recorder (this is where my question is) How are you getting the sound from your tape recorder to your DAW? Are you manually recording it through a mic? Hopefully that makes sense.

[@bladeceek]

Pretty much, more specifically record a "C" note onto the tape recorder then bounce from the tape recorder's headphone output into my audio interface into ableton. Hope that makes sense!

[@osirismarshall]

Ah, that makes much more sense now. Thanks for the help; your videos are tremendous brother!

[@bladeceek]

No problem man! Fyi i have read interviews with Boards of Canada where they talk about recording from a tape player with a mic into theyre DAW so i guess theres not any rules except if it sounds good it sounds good!

[@osirismarshall]

Yeah agreed. The variations are endless. Thanks again for the fantastic tutorial dog!

[@KaliBeatsYoSoyAquel]

What's the tape recorder you use? Sony...?

[@bladeceek]

Sony TCM 200dv

[@jetmagri5821]

its crazy how this song has 40k plays on soundcloud and its literally four tracks in ableton. jesus

[@hyperlitestud]

The power of ableton my friend

[@RemmyMusic1]

rocky would murder this

[@Anonymous29785]

what kind of chew do you dip homie?

[@bladeceek]

red rum i stopped but at the time was grizzly wintergreen 👌

[@Anonymous29785]

Ｗｅ Ａｒｅ Ｍａｃｈｉｎｅｓ haha I dip the same stuff

[@bladeceek]

red rum lol i had to stop shit was fuckin me up

[@nksdp9776]

I love your sound, you're talking to me :)

[@nksdp9776]

Does the synth sample came from phonec like in you're previous video ?

[@bladeceek]

Thank you! im not too sure what synth i used for this sample, i think it may have just been ableton's stock piano plugin with some tweaking

[@laubastoz]

❤

[@cgabe127]

are you sniffing gasoline

[@cgabe127]

nvm ur dipping
