AUTOMATIC Live Looping with NO Pedals/Controllers using the IAC Driver

[@PandaProductionLondon]

Scott is one of the best narrators I have ever seen, his videos are professional and the way he conveys details is incredible. This account is one of the most useful accounts I've seen on KZbin so far. You deserve more, my friend. Thanks for these great videos

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thank you!

[@friglobskowski3696]

Maybe the best Ableton video i've seen, great work.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Appreciate that!

[@franciscoalves84059]

I've been struggling with this for 3 years now, finally, THANK YOU SO MUCH !

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Glad I could help!

[@matthewhunt4835]

This looks so much fun! So simple but so powerful. Thanks for the video 🙏

[@angelsrr]

nicely done. much appreciated. The brief video reaction inserts - Priceless. LOL.

Come for the tech, stay for the memes 😊

[@TheBristolVibe]

Thanks for this video, I’m going to have a field day setting this up with my apc40 and novation launch key

[@dachisam]

full of details and explanations. thanks a lot. great tutorial. let me find the courage to prove it and then we'll see!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks! It takes a while to program and test, but it’s worth it 👍

[@KapaDeFreitas]

Thanks for the video, mate!

[@dkkrecords]

Looking fo’ to trying…..great explanations

[@lannyfuller8367]

Great video. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks! Also, as a cross-platform guy who's Mac is down at the moment, I can also use Bome MIDI Translator Pro instead of the IAC driver on my PC. It's overkill, I know. But since I already have it... =)

[@_parthmusic]

Hey! I'm trying to do the same thing with the free trial of BOME, but it doesn't work for me! Did you have to do anything within BOME itself? Thanks!

[@lannyfuller8367]

@@_parthmusic, check the MIDI Router portion. It can be confusing, but it won't do anything unless it's set up right.

[@Popaye18]

👍 for the effort

[@celsomachado247]

hi, thanks for the video! I wonder why my IAC Driver doens´t show the properties tab as yours. I only have the Ports tab. Do you know how I can enable that? Cheers!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

That I don’t know tbh, mine has always been there

Hi. You can also use touch screen software for this task .You don't need a touch screen your just using its features which may be more relatable & transferable to anything that can receive midi. Especially the majority of transport & record mechanisms which only respond to midi cc . Workflow. . You create two widgets in the template. Button one & Button two. Button 1 transmits midi note on & midi note off. Button 2 is calibrated to transmit midi CC and respond to the midi note off value of button 1 . Button 2 is mapped to record , enable , arm etc in the software. And will respond to the note or velocity you insert in the midi track timeline. . I use TouchOsc with Studio One & Cubase as its the cheapest. I also add additional midi note events on the timeline so it can automatically change Vst inserts & act as a visual cue for bpm & time signatures.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I need to dive into Touch OSC. I never have

[@element64]

​@@ScottUhlMusic Touchosc was relaunched a few years & they made it more geeky & difficult to create templates for basic tasks. But it's worth the effort as its available on every platform & device. I need it for a basic live loop workflow i'm refining. . Here is a guide ive created. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3mbZpadntVniK8. Midi noise gates enable us to arm the track and recording threshold on our terms & TouchOSC etc handles the transport mechanism.

[@Simbosan]

The one thing that I always want to build in is recovery for when you cock it up. So say you're recording the bass and you muff it somehow, how do you restart replaying that part of the IAC midi pattern. I guess you would need to use scenes

[@ScottUhlMusic]

“Undo” in ableton is really frustratingly tough to do

[@coyoteserranomusic]

Nice I use this for my acapella arrangements live.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Awesome! Thanks for commenting 🤘

[@tonydelaval4184]

Hello Scott I have another question : For some reason, I can't figure out how to get 2 commands at once. For example C2 is "Arm Drums" and C#2 is "Arm Piano". I would like these commands to be executed at the exact same time (like at 9:35 in your video). But everytime I try to do this, only one of them is executed. Is there any setting to apply to make them work together ? Thank you in advance, keep on the great job you're the master !

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I’m not sure why they wouldn’t…. I’m able to do two at once all the time. Try changing it my a millisecond or something like that

[@stuartduncan3706]

Is this problem specific to arming tracks? If so, is 'Arm Exclusive' still selected? Otherwise could you mute two tracks at same time or something similar? Hope you get it sorted :)

[@tonydelaval4184]

Hello, I have a question : At 3:07, you poen the midi setup window, but in my case, when I do this, I don't have the "properties" tab, only the "port", o I can't choose to put in on channel 3 or whichever one. I'm running it on my MacBook Air M1, could you help me ? Thank you for all the explanation though, very easy to understand ;)

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Yeah it’s very likely different now on the newer MACs, I haven’t tried it since I got my new Mac, but I’m sure there is some way to chose it. It’s really annoying when firmware or OS updates change things…. It drives me nuts

[@RobertCristy]

Awesome, well done, like and sub 👍

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thank you 😊

[@pandemic7]

Can this work with automating live guitar looping?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Yup 👍

[@jlamjustin9812]

I have Ableton Live 11 Suite how do I live loop on windows does it have IAC Driver ???

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I don’t believe it does. But I could be wrong, as I don’t use Windows

[@andyherbyy]

Can I offer a more drag and drop solution to this :) no midi mapping needed at all and you create from arrangement view

[@coyoteserranomusic]

Hey my loopmidi IAC in windows is not automating my tracks in Ableton. Had set it up, now its not working..... got any advice?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

When I have to use a Windows computer, I’m completely lost on how to use it. Sorry 😞 Best of luck!

[@TeaOryOfficial]

Well you my Guy, have a lot of Subs because you provide value, unlinke me :c

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Hahaha thank you 😅
