Made in Ableton Live: Anna Disclaim on generating ideas, sketching arrangements and more

[@jasonmaggard3829]

I’ve seen 1000 Ableton tutorials. This is the best one I’ve ever seen. I’ll rewatch this one every day for a while

[@qwertyamusic9409]

So will I...

[@elevatenyc]

lol

[@rossco78]

Tip: To deactivate a midi note or a selection of midi notes, on the piano role just click on the piano roll key (C# for example) on the line of the midi note(s) and press the '0' key. To re-introduce, do the same thing. A small time saver for anyone who didn't know. Loving this series by the way!

[@nichel4643]

honestly... queen shit. She’s quick, she’s precise, no self-complacency. A professional with some very precious tips. I wished i could have watched this video when i began producing but I still discovered a LOT about new ways i could manage my workflow. This time Ableton, this was top tier content. Thank you Anna Disclaim!

[@TJEnnis0811]

The creation of the Bass line was something I never considered. Thank You!!

[@mikextsunami]

her workflow is God tier really

[@totallypixelated]

Really solid pro engineering tips and some great creative musical ideas. Best in the series so far imho. Nice one Anna! Thank you Ableton!

[@Tterragyello]

I definitely agree! Underbelly was pretty great as well

[@anna_disclaim]

Aw, thanks a lot!

[@sokleangDotCom]

my god. She motivates me so much. So much love her.

[@ElectricEddieDaus]

Converting your Voice to the Bass ... That was Amazing... I have never seen that done before....Very clever idea....Thx ElectricEddie

[@threee1298]

I’m forever in your debt for showing me the legato button, casual masterclass

[@qwertyamusic9409]

Congrats Anna, this is a really clear and easy to understand video. The kind of one that is usefull when you are lost like me as I use to work on Cubase, Thanks a lot !

[@Bashanvibe]

I really enjoy real musicians who use AL and a multi instrumentalist at that!!! This was fun to watch!!!🔥🔥🔥

[@kylegoff9612]

Ableton is just smashing the competition. Between Germany and Japan I would say some of the worlds best thought out tech. They both just keep improving there already existing work and listening too there consumers.

[@markostanley]

A really inspiring tutorial thank you. Love the workflow. Love the technique. Especially love the idea of using voice to midi for the bass line. Would never have even considered that and especially useful for those of us that are musically challenged but who can sing a tune. Love love love. Thank you. @ableton please do more in this series - it’s top drawer

[@duncanrayson4621]

GREAT Video!! Great use of the tool-set. Ableton needs to give you a raise!!

[@joefur1625]

ur voice to bass technique just opened up a whole new world of weird for me - really great video please do another soon

[@sandyxdannymusic3]

Ur r really gud teacher. U thought very nice and clear with identification.. There is no Nosesense talks like others. Pls do more video. Ur r gud teacher for upcoming musicians. Ur really awesome.

[@michaelmarkspersonal]

I'm definitely amazed at the techniques used! My mind is blown!

[@yabsdonanderson5322]

SISTREN, U SMASHED IT. U MADE THIS LESSON SO FASINATING, U WAS GREAT.

[@Sizalyth]

This is such an inspirational workflow! Thank you Ableton and Anna!

[@SeattleDjs]

Very cool. I like how original the track sounds, especially since the sound design was with the conversion. Also the slice to drum rack with the vocal from Simpler is what I have been missing. Inspired thank you.

[@katbyte6lo]

I felt like you were telling me a secret. So many great things to learn here. Thanks so much! I love your sound!

[@balareddy8625]

Really great techniques..seems many of Ableton users didn't watch this I guess.You are awsome sound engineer. VEry simple n straight forward. Converting vocal to midi is a great one. Keep doing more. Thank you. Its worth that I subscribed already.

[@mateoconk]

Best workflow video I’ve ever seen.

[@George-nx8zu]

Thank you! I always wondered how good the melody to MIDI conversion was.

[@fitzmauriceworks]

Very good video that has introduced me to even more possibilities in Live. Thanks for sharing

[@mosunalli9370]

Anna, I really enjoyed your video. I think you are brilliant. Thank you such a well laid out work.

[@ThemisGeorgoudis]

loved the vocal processing! simple and effective!

[@audiooooooo]

I really love her conversion-workflow...

[@anttt7993]

Wow, you did a great job! Very emotional and unpretentious sound!

[@oliro]

Wow this is a very good tutorial. Its clear, to the point and nicely paced. Plus the sound and quality is on point. Thank you!

[@bboymac84]

I agree ☝️

[@DJBryanDavid]

I second the previous comment! Can’t wait to experiment with the audio to midi process with my external gear. I’d be grateful for a link If anyone knows of any previous videos that highlights that sort of process. Watching all of the Ableton tutorials has helped me tremendously. Thank you Anna.....and big up to SoundToys as well ;)

[@AslanJazzLan]

This is fantastic. Such a treat to see how this develops. Thanks!

[@patcupo]

Audio to MIDI is great. Now do the other half: “Audio to Instrument” or “Extract Timbre”. Live analyzes an audio clip and creates a new Instrument Rack on a new MIDI track using stock instruments and effects that recreates the timbre of the clip.

[@joshshuter7536]

to be fair with AI this could eventually be possible

[@nsjx]

🤔... I admit,.. I've not been upped to 10 Suite for that many weeks yet so you had me going for a sec. Meanwhile, I was dreaming all the nice multi-sample inst I was about to get onto with such resynthesis. Some additive and WT synths get convincingly close w some extra tweaking

[@eerereps]

wait, this is possible now?

[@moognus79]

eerereps Not yet.

[@drumpak]

Lol this would be sick. ‘Not so simpler’

[@seventhhe4ven]

It’s nice to have a production walkthrough where the instructor doesn’t feel the need to explain how a compressor works and just explains its role in context.

[@Claidheambmor]

Excellent video, the Ableton Live workflow is a beautiful thing

[@tomelwich49]

Thanks for the great clip Anna!

[@boyakoosha]

These videos have been superb for learning Ableton! great stuff

[@nsjx]

That thing with converting your vox w to a Bline. Hell yeah. Going to try this with my cats to see what key they whine in 🤔 Nice workflow you've found there 👾👾👾

[@robertogoyeneche4976]

Great work and inspiring tutorial as well ! Give us some more please.

[@mrmatthewpennington]

A Brilliantly guided tutorial. Many thanks for this. Skills

[@xivallora8834]

Terrific video 👍. Keep'em coming! Cheers

[@AlmaLibreStudios]

Great insight on her workflow. Thank you!

[@2Fowleja]

Fantastic video and great track - loved how you processed your voice into a hook and bassline

[@JohnGriffiths7]

Great great tutorial session. I really like how you started with simple but surprising and added more complexity but kept the pacing even as others here have said. Pls make some more!

[@dzman1976]

This tutorial is pure gold ❤️❤️❤️

[@supremeuppercut]

Thoroughly enjoyed. Nicely done.

[@trcaggiano]

Excellent! very well said and performed!! Thank you!

[@Skiamakhos]

Loved the whole make a bass from your voice thing. That could be really useful, if you're more of a vocalist than an instrumentalist.

[@chasingcolours6789]

Exceptional talent and workflow. Thanks so much for sharing :)

[@ericfoster5267]

Super cool tutorial! Thanks Anna!

[@gautamtamangmusic]

The use of audio to Midi was really interesting, Great job.

[@MarcJMusic]

Yep. She's awesome! GREAT tutorial!

[@alejandromorante979]

Great stuff! The videos released these last couple of days are amazing

[@CHAM536]

I´ve learned a lot! Thanks Anna!!!

[@MatichekYoutube]

Very informative and inspiring, thank you Anna 🙏

[@volkerbosch9078]

Fantastic tutorial !

[@UNIVERSALMIC]

Different BASS plugins Amplify even the lowest rec basswav samples that's forsure. Impressive(tutorial) work Anna VERY impressive. Femaleproducers watchout.

[@bboymac84]

I understood everything!! Thank you!!

[@abygazan4098]

Anna is amazing artist! Thank you

[@gauloiseguy]

Thank you so much. This is a solid primer to some sounds I've been achieving to get the wrong way. I'm starting to love Ableton and think I will abandon my Native Instruments/Live combined workflow. Undecided as of yet as Maschine with Komplete standard adds a lot.

[@williammatthews8684]

Thank you for this.

[@AlvinTJM-fh2me]

Thank you for the details ,truly thank you

[@CyrGlz]

Very nice vidéo, great work !

[@arohaharawira598]

Awesome tutorial Anna

[@aloharay]

enjoyed this. Thank you!

[@pk3776]

Great video 👍

[@josuearesav]

Beautiful Voice!

[@andycordy5190]

❤"Convert harmony to new midi track" is pure genius. I didn't know this feature. There are some great ideas here. Chopping up the vocal was excellent but the style of the vocal and the lyrics were not my taste. I'll gladly learn from any style what not to do as well as what I can use

[@jaydekaytv]

Great job - thanks for sharing.

[@jacquibrookes8257]

Thank you!

[@davilillodegg]

Fantastic!!!

[@СтаниславР-в7и]

Thank you! It's very inspiring!

[@kalubandali2241]

your london accent is amazing!

[@stevenreddie9780]

Awesome tutorial.

[@djnickhodgkins]

Amazing; thank you!

[@mukisajohnmary]

cool move slicing vocal manually and using the same vocal for different purposes.

[@imkennyshaw]

Holy shit. And here I am listening to the same loop for eleventy seven hours

[@rockatspace]

thank you, this video opens a lot of new doors...

[@Nathanfxa]

Sick tutorial!!

[@atasuleyman5583]

Vibe Chemistry lyrics! Nice

[@TheSideshowtom]

this was really helpful thank you =)

[@Hyper5nic]

I really enjoyed this video Anna, and I really appreciate you showing the thought that went into building your song. While I don't use Ableton, these ideas are really interesting, and I must admit I never heard of the term 'pop-noir'. ;-) Maybe this be would be the same as that 80s music 'New Wave'? Listening again, I believe this song could have benefited from a little more breathing space in the form of pauses in the rhythm,. If 'noir' is what you're looking for: the melancholy comes from the lyrics. Great examples of this from the 80s are Propaganda and Talk Talk. ;-)

[@ryancapelli]

so good.

[@ghostsamurai-u1e]

thanku very helpful

[@ClectaSkiMusic]

Amazing stuff thanks

[@Mr.morgandj]

amazing very precise :)

[@JackPeloquin]

OMG!!! I’ve been feeling like drilling a hole in my skull lately. Shit simply sux!!!! But following with some of your lessons… has made me crack a grin. Sooo…. Thank You Anna!!!

[@jjboogie1]

Awesome stuff \m/

[@Lowlandbeatz]

Very good

[@ABlackbirdCalledSue]

Great video! One thing though, are you sure that when you do your voice to bass conversion, that the waves auto tune actually is affecting the result? Doesn't the conversion just take the original audio (pre-FX, i.e. pre tuning it)?

[@jimifive3454]

You are brilliant....any M4 live tutorials?

[@P.Gillett]

Could you please do a series like this on max for live? please please please!

[@SwNartan]

Gut! +++

Nice job - I learned a lot-- what are the red dots in the finder.?

[@moognus79]

Those are favourites. If you look at the top left hand corner you can see that Favourites is highlighted. This means that only samples / instruments / etc previously tagged with the red favourites dot are currently showing.

[@RicardoImperatorebotecoeletro]

very cool Anna! I am trying to creat a .adv file E minor.adv. but I am having trouble... how to do this?

[@markostanley]

Shift, down arrow for down an octave. Shift, up arrow for up an octave
