Made in Ableton Live: Underbelly on creating dynamic arrangements, recording automation and more

[@ceounicom]

Mad respect that Ableton is finally giving this guy some shine

[@andrwwaugh]

It's awesome to see Underbelly sharing some of his lime light with a nice start up company like Ableton!

[@GuitarStuffz]

@@andrwwaugh this abelton seems pretty good got a start up company

[@Pedroftx]

so I don't suck at producing anymore? wowzers!

[@agatasol]

XD

[@lejantheproducer]

Jajajajajjajaaj

[@JHsp-mx6tz]

Derek, don't fool yourself.

[@supernovamimosa]

no you still do

[@fuvahola6347]

wowzers!

[@2mbst1]

I was lowkey expecting this to be out of character. So happy it isn't! Shows that the folks at Ableton have a good sense of humour! Love this series.

[@srglzrmj]

I was still expecting to hear “and you suck at producing” tho

[@DjFreefall]

Agreed!

[@8thlvlMage]

And Underbelly was great at still doing what he does, but dialing it back a bit.

[@benhall2235]

I was “lowkey expecting” some incoherent yank child butchering grammar in the comments.

[@SimonAudiosuite]

He kinda does go a little ooc at 8 min

[@sdk2n]

Imagine if he said “and you suck at producing”, people who don’t watch his channel would be so confused lol

[@jooeleng]

Lol

[@luvsketchimprovvv1781]

hahaha yeah

[@avez6910]

😂

[@watercolourmark]

Oh... is he the puppet guy?

[@macmoll]

Mark Grant Nope, that’s a different guy. I the “puppet guy’s” name is Reid Stefan. The realist puppet in the game! Underbelly is the “You Suck At Producing” guy. O...K... So check it!

[@jglopez5855]

i love the fact that he kept his teaching style even with ableton. That speaks well of both Ableton and Undebelly

[@obowurx6625]

Agreed!

[@biggnomo825]

Yes! He turned down the language a bit, but still the same style.

[@italyisntreal]

@@biggnomo825 *cap likes this comment*

[@dryzeromusic]

I am disappointed that he didn't tell me I sucked at something in the intro.

[@ParanoidalDyslexia]

I think everyone are heard it in head

[@ysink]

Paranoidal Dyslexia yep.

[@MisterShufu]

You suck at producing! I hope i helped a bit

[@vishalsnayak]

You wouldn't be watching this video if you didnt suck... :p

Uncle Joe must be so proud of ya cheers

[@elrodrigonunez]

RIP Uncle Joe

[@djaspor702]

I hired Underbelly for some private, online mixing lessons. Well worth it. He has you record the sessions so you can go back and watch again later; which is a fantastic help.

[@SadowickProduction]

Best tutorial ever.

[@mundaemundae8597]

Omg yes!

[@Whenuknow]

I really like that ableton is reaching out to these youtube musicians and producers, really dope!

[@MikeRenouf]

Credit to the Ableton crew for letting Underbelly keep his own style intact. Wowzers!

[@Lukeevanshen]

It's funny, because his style of speech and delivery I usually interpret as a kind of "comical sarcasm" but in this context he just seems happy.

[@djdonjulio4461]

Honestly, it was only right Ableton put him on as a featured instructor. I learned so much from him on his own channel. The guy really knows live

[@GravytyMusic]

Fr he's actually one of the better producers teaching on KZbin. Dude knows what he's talking about when he speaks about things, despite all the funnies.

[@oliverszigan80]

It looks like it has hurt him pysically not so say how much we suck at producing.

[@grasped2]

for sure xD

[@blek_sheep]

You sure need to check out his Live roasting tracks

[@stoneycarter6429]

the most lowkey mind blowing crossover ever

[@uly1981]

wowzers, ableton does not suck at picking their producers

[@perlyax]

I bet that dislike is about him not telling us how much we suck!

[@Jack___13]

This has to be so confusing if you don't know him.

[@nicogamarra7678]

um yup

[@SpinSurgery]

Because he said wowsers 50 times?

[@glowstickyyy]

This happened with me. New producer here. Saw this video and was so confused by the guys tone/talking. Then I saw the hilarious you suck at producing series without even remembering I saw this video. Then I ran into this video again and it all clicked and made sense. Sooo fkn good!!

[@mardocharuc]

Now I get it haha

[@Kxltxn_]

Underbelly could be working with Beyonce and still open up the DAW and say "okeh so check it"

[@Vegan_Kebab_In_My_Hand]

And tell her she sucks at producing

[@voLumez]

@@Vegan_Kebab_In_My_Hand she does tho

[@Vegan_Kebab_In_My_Hand]

[@fourspiralarms]

Im so happy that stayed in character for official ableton videos (brought it to a PG level tho). You da real MVP!

[@justwill1140]

Definitely one of my top 5 producers... and I've never heard one of his songs! Great lessons.

[@willstatmen9591]

He’s uploaded some in his channel, and I think one of the song is just like this one in the tutorial

[@colbysavary]

he really kept this up for 25 minutes, a true professional

[@ThreeAirFilms]

This is probably the most beautiful tutorial song ever made

[@theabominablemattd]

Wowzers, I learnt so much so fast here! I mostly learnt just how much I suck at producing.

[@HeinrichBerger96]

This was simply one of the best tutorials I have ever seen in my entire life, thank you for that!

[@montr6868]

This guy is a beast. I do such at producing so I keep an eye on him to help sharpen up my game. His knowledge of Live in incredible, he hooked up the bass, then laced it with a cool little melody. So many songs within that song. I like his work.

[@ScruffyFox]

this guy could be a professional tutorialist wowzers

[@matthewmoore1543]

thank you Ableton for getting Uncle Joe for a video. This man is such a great teacher. Glad to see he's on your radar.

[@joshhowson3448]

The first section of this video is literally what I needed to know for my first few years of production. I tried searching the internet to find out the 'function' of each drum instrument but never found any answers, so I just had to figure it out by trial and error. I wish someone could have explained to me how each drum/instrument type affects the track as you did in this video.

[@treyhudson73]

I wish I could 1000 times Like this. Love him or hate him (I'm a fan!) his style of teaching works and works WELL.

[@СтаниславР-в7и]

Ableton, thank you for the new "From the Ground Up" section. It is like a breath of fresh air, inspiration and motivation to make music. Thank! You are always on top! Underbelly is one of my favorite Ableton teachers! always waiting for his appearance on your channel!

[@Woji52]

Maybe I’m being petty, but a link to this channel would be nice in the description to throw some traffic his way kzbin.info

[@treyhudson73]

I know others are out there, but nice to see a song created in Session View!

[@monkabang9107]

Derek got bullied in the playground once again. Wowzers.

[@Mancheguache]

He just explained soo many things I didn't know jack about in a fantastic way - salutes to both Ableton and this underbelly feller

[@StrangeAttractor]

Man's got mad skills, AND he's the most entertaining music production tutor on the big wide web. Props.

[@bedtimeread]

"Hi I'm Underbelly.." long awkward breath holding from the entire music production KZbin community waiting for what's next.... " ...here with ableton"... that was close...

[@Exploringthepositive]

Learned more in this video than in just about any other I've watched on these subjects. Thank you!

[@Claidheambmor]

Great to see Ableton working with the best KZbin tutors for too quality videos, get in!

[@deargodno1749]

Underbelly is a goddamn treasure, so glad to see him on the Ableton channel.

[@juancorral9287]

Wowzers! Thanks Ableton for this !

[@HabitGat]

I work mainly in Native Instruments and I was (able to n) :) learn so much from this video. The fact that you guys brought in Underbelly is so awesome, he always remembers to remind me what I suck at and why I need to get better lol. GREAT VIDEO!!!!!

[@o_leksandr]

Wowzers! I’ve got to see Underbelly’s LinkedIn version

[@sebastian1234hamburg]

I have to say i’m amazed how nice and pretty you manage to explain what you are doing while you do it. This tutorial is a masterpiece and it has made me wiser than I was about 30 minutes ago. Great work! 10/10

[@bitmau5]

Underbelly is taking over the Ableton Studio. Wowzers.

[@rocantando]

WOUZERSSS love underbelly

[@kozihoppy]

"It's time to add what really matters: *The Bass.* Love it.

[@rhyskt]

You were always up there as one of the greats to me, but this "official" video just cemented it. Well done mate 👍

[@gyur6]

After he saying "Let's get started" I was anticipating the good ol' brush drumfill and piano intro but that awkward silence also made me feel great.

[@sunblooom]

Underbelly on ableton official vids? No way, that's freakin awesome

[@superconnorman10]

WHAAAA Underbelly doing it up with an official video for Ableton!! I'm... I'm so proud.

[@MenkoDany]

this is the most sidehead of Underbelly we've ever gotten

[@andrewjohnson2749]

The most Mid/Side EQ'd version

[@shermanfunk]

Ok Wowzers, his pace of explaining things and all the little tips in between the other important tips are, well, perfect. Wowzers, glad I found this gentleman.

[@BrinchTunes]

Awesome to have Underbelly featured here. Wowzers!

How come this is unlisted? the world needs more underbelly

True stroy I once went to a show, think it was a freddie gibbs show but might be wrong....and this dude came out as an opening act and had an mpd32 with a guitar strap on it and jammed the fuck out.

Underbelly is the most powerfull ambassador for ableton ! so many skill and so many kindness ( and humor ), respect ....

Goes in thinking: "Oh this is a nice, relaxing track" Half-way in: "Oh okay, nasty dubstep bass wubz it is."
