Ableton Live Tutorial - Follow Actions Revisited = Ned Rush

[@BOMBPHONICS]

The Jojo Mayer of Ableton Live right here. Love your channel

[@ArmoredMeat]

Man I can’t wait to try this. What an awesome way to mangle loops to make them your own.

[@davidmcgirr]

The mind salivates at the possibilities.

[@HANGINGOUTWITHAUDIOPHILES]

Didn’t know about the island like nature of the clips and certainly never tried the master follow actions. Would be nice to just have a loop have a quantized random start in the clip itself then you’d only need one clip in the 4th bar response phrase. I feel a max for live device coming on. I’m sure that already exists right ? Live is endless. Good god. I mean I look at my modular some days and think. Should it all just be 100% analog with ableton as the controller. That might be accessing the unheard realms. The rest .. samples, grains, fx. Ableton has it covered.

When you showed that unlinked effects part, I found myself saying, “Duuuudde!” and getting excited with possibilities 😍

[@ericwalker6660]

loved it! cant wait for part 2

[@ahmettiryakioglu_music]

marinate music! loved it again, even if I won't learn anything from a specific video of yours, I watch it man. Just because of your approach and use of language, and your 'comments'. You make my day with every video of yours. 👽

[@Cybercowboy_69]

Incredible idea. Thank you uncle Ned.

[@StephaneSimeon]

My man Ned, you just thought me how to do dynamic drum fill for a genre call Konpa, you just got me hooked on Ableton now. Impossible to do this on Logic Pro. Damn, if I don’t support on patreon I’m an asshole

[@airfixx_8952]

If anyone is wondering what the punchline is when Ned cut the video.... Set the 'breaks' track's 'audio to' drop-down to 'sends only' rather than mute it.

[@iBananenjoghurt]

brilliant! thanks for this and please do the series 🔥

[@shanonkiyoshi4784]

💞‼️ Series PLEASE ‼️💞

[@StephaneSimeon]

Wow Ned, just wow

[@sssyruppp]

[@danjwheatley]

amazing! already looking forward to part 2 :)

[@Heatwave1988]

Lovely stuff

[@vvvictoriav5958]

can you make the next video 3 hours? i could watch this forever

[@shanonkiyoshi4784]

‼️😂 Aleatoric Dub 🤣‼️

[@dabigbamboo]

Love these vids! Keep up.

[@markbennett1585]

What if you had clip automation to set a looper to record, then a follow action to the looper track to play the loop it had just recorded for a set number of bars, and then a follow action on the looper track to select another clip which it would then loop? Not sure that made a whole lot of sense, but what I’m getting at is achieving a balance between randomness and repetition - so rather than a constant random stream of phrases, you could get used to a phrase that loops for say, 8 or 16 bars before the next random phrase plays. Not sure that made a whole lot of sense either. I’ll get me coat.

[@airfixx_8952]

I hear you.... I think the issue with live looping like that is that you can only manually remove the recorded clip from the record buffer.... If you could automatically bounce it out onto a new track after a designated amount of time (and then clear the buffer) it would be WAY more flexible. The rest of the process sounds doable otherwise.

[@shanonkiyoshi4784]

​@@airfixx_8952 Just RECORD the OUTPUT of the looper to a RESAMPLE track for a few minutes (make yourself some coffee or iced tea), then CURATE your favorite sections later. I do this ALL the time 😉😎👍🎶

[@airfixx_8952]

@@shanonkiyoshi4784 - Of course one can record any audio channel, but that's a not a solution to the proposed real-time 'performance' scenario though....

[@shanonkiyoshi4784]

@@airfixx_8952 Hah! Didn't realize you guys were discussing a Live Gig situation. My bad 😂 ...I specifically bought Ableton for ALL the SONIC VOODOO that's capable in the Session View. It's bloody MAGIC 🪄💥

[@airfixx_8952]

@@shanonkiyoshi4784 - It's great but there's still some stuff that can't be done without a heavy dose of M4L wizardry. As per you above; not necessarily a gig; but within the context of the same 'patched' quasi-generative process environment...... You're right in that you can automate a record process to capture a new loop for every bar(s), but you'd still have to stop what you were doing to set up and arrange all the follow actions.

Legato mode will avoid envelope retriggers

Noice 👌

[@edgarsrutkovskis1846]

Breakbeat science😇

[@AntonKuznetsovMusic]

The problem of follow actions is that it has to be prepared beforehand and it can’t be a smooth process during improvising without getting stuck to the mouse and screen. As far as I know there is no way to control follow actions with a max for live device because the API doesn’t allow it. Is there a potential solution to that?

[@IsotonikStudios]

Our Follow XL device is what you need!

[@EmanuelHendriks]

you're always a certainty when it comes to arranging stuff in a fragmented and rather unpredictable way
