Ableton Live Tutorial - Humanizing Drum Samples = Ned Rush

[@tornadotre75]

Ned = The Boss

[@mybiggrin]

Yo this is brilliant. Classic Neddy.

[@elektronspins]

Happy New Year Ned, can’t thank you enough for all your work!! Kind regards and cheers! Hope the fireworks didn’t bother your pet too much this year ❣️

[@fastideas1]

The original Roger Linn Akai MPCs did this and allowed the pitch and decay envelope to be linked to velocity so that the pads would mimic a real drum depending on how hard you hit them.

Ned is KZbin’s finest.

[@GloveBunniesVideos]

Yay! Happy New Year, Ned.

[@markrestuccia7880]

What a tremendous start to the year. Happy new year my boss.

[@newz-tube]

That's crazy! 🧐 Thanks for bringing us along into the possibilities in an audio toolbox marvel, Ableton Live.

[@GLDNSCTN]

This is Great! Thanks Nedder!🦾🎛🔊

[@brhodes0]

Love this one - only improvement would be to make all the colours in the set based on 1970s tupperware and or Austin Allegro paint options. THANK YOU.

[@nicoincertezza5763]

gorgeous :)

[@beatsbybr1nk544]

Awesomize

[@jimvandersteege]

The progression in the “distribute ranges equally” delivery 😂

[@n1lla]

Isn't 'round robin' (the RR button in the sample bank) the 'new school' way of doing the chain selector thing?

[@davidb.6319]

How intelligent

[@swana_amami]

there is no sampler in intro or standard versions however, only simpler

[@thegiodome]

Human Eyes Human Eyes Human Eyes 👀👀👀

[@mileswaite]

HOT 🔥🥁

[@itsthemoonandrew]

OOH that snare is a little bit HOT

[@HelixHolmes]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/inK9gGyJjpunoqM I honestly thought you were about to say, good game good game. HAHAHA! Just getting that Brucie bonus in....

[@MrOuija-rr8kq]

Whatever happened to your mate , optical?

[@NedRush]

No

[@Vingul]

Ironically you've de-humanised "humanising" by making it "humanizing" m8. Well, sorry -- let's just say Americanised.

[@NedRush]

You mean Americanized

[@Vingul]

​@@NedRush Right, my bad! 🤔🤔🤔

[@vroteg]

Other way around mate. In EDM you don’t want random. If you make generative crap then yeah. But in EDM you want stability. Always. For loud mix.

[@notnoaintno5134]

boring

[@Vingul]

EDM is wack

[@PretendPassing]

That isn't even true. To make things loud, you want to use clippers and compressors. Compressors reduce peaks and create more even dynamics. It depends on the sound; if you have a short, very loud peak, you want to adjust it to match the rest of the sound. If the rest is very loud, but the peak could be more present, you want to reduce the rest so the peak is more prominent. You might turn up or down the channel/bus globally to glue it together or make quiet individual hits more prominent by enhancing that area. Once you have done this, add character with saturation and use a safety clipper at the end to adjust loudness or, if it is already hitting zero, to clip away the exceeding peaks. Then, put a safety clipper on each main bus without adjusting it to ensure there are no peaks over zero and to give the mastering limiter less work. Velocity adjustment, to me, is something you do creatively and has little to do with the loudness of the end result, at least in the digital realm. True perceivable loudness is measured in LUFS (Loudness Units Full Scale), and the best contributor to ensuring a very loud value is loudness over time. So, not the drums but the bass, which is filling up much of the low end and isn't short. And yes, if you want to be loud, that bass should be consistently loud without changing in volume much or at all while sustaining. This doesn't mean that drum hits need to be consistent. You just need to figure out a way to mix them so they cut through the other massive, fullrange sounds. And there are plenty of devices that let you do that in a velocity-sensitive way.

I think he said IDM to be fair…
