only 1:30 into the video and already had to pause and say, this is probably one of the better put together demonstrations on how to mix in Ableton, and very positive. Thank you for the video!

[@loganhouser9837]

You do well at simplifying it for the rookies, thank you! 🙏🙏

[@ambesa1]

This is a video on creating a remix! I used do Ableton 4( yeah) and forgot the how to do sht. Just back into and this video has helped. So thank you

[@cmwilliams357]

Awesome Sir 👌

[@streakingclothed]

I already knew a lot of the audio effect stuff but I wish I had watched this earlier bc it explains it in a very simple and encompassing way . Good stuff

OMG, thank you!!!!

[@realjax]

Awesome video, thanks! How do you go about slowly changing the bmp during the time of the total mix?

[@manav_bali]

Really helpful. Thanks man :)

[@djclovisa5463]

Brilliant Tutorial Love it

[@Joaquin77]

Liked and subscribed!! Thank you so much for the detail tutorial! Keep'em coming!

[@clubkillerstv]

Thank you so much!

[@DJJUSTO267]

dope mix

[@tommiel6740]

Thanks for excellent video. Could most of this be done in the Ableton Live Intro version?

[@DaniloTestoh4]

You are a very good teacher, this video is awesome for a New apprentice like me

[@Fuaxxd]

Thank u so much

[@ipagedesigner]

Hi, great video thanks for this, need to make the leap from vinyl me thinks! Can I ask what screencast software you used, love the mouse cursor effect! 😀

[@scottystuNZ]

Very Useful thanks for your time

[@tellezfred]

I thinking about buying Ableton live 10 intro. Will that do the same what you are doing?

[@ushkadush]

The video don't do it justice compared to your final mix! Your bad ass, thanks for the tutorial. I too make my mixes but with Propellerheads reason. You can hear my stuff on soundcloud (DJ Eargasm)! I too made a tutorial on youtube. I give ya mad props for showing us how its done from another producer/dj standpoint!

[@jardito84]

Great mix and tutorial. Do you perform live in arrangement view as well or is this specifically your approach to making a mix tape?

[@parkerdodson3350]

20:44 when the teacher leaves the classroom

[@Liveyourlife32]

hhhahahaahahh

[@GiiWiiDii]

hahah i was like yoooo get this party started

[@genemc777]

Hey, so this was a really good video and everything but my biggest question is this, Why would I ever want to take this method od DJing using Ableton when it seems like it takes an exorbantly long time jues to set up a mix and set list when I can just load my songs into Serato or Virtual DJ and use my pioneer mixer? I would love to use ableton more for just composing music or recording live music than setting up a DJ playlist especally after seeing how long it takes to go in and quantisize a majority of the tracks manually.

[@TIGERTRONIK]

That's probably because you can do things in Ableton spot on. For example, say you recorded a 30 mix DJ mix on Serato. And you mess up a transition in the middle of a mix. Now this mix needs to be redone. And say you're trying a mashup routine, where you're mixing three songs back to back. It is way easier doing that in Ableton. But I totally feel ya. I've done many mixes in Serato, and still like the organic nature of the mix. I always like hearing a mix with mistakes because I know it was done live.

[@TheRandallSan]

I used to think the same way..making a live mix on the spot made me a better DJ and I learned to EQ better without using any kind of software...yet, there’s many djs now that do mixes without their equipment for various reasons and this is another way to do it..not only that, but it does sound a lot cleaner...so while I still suggest learning to make mixes live and mastering that, I think this is still a good way of knowing

[@alroccbeatz788]

Dope tutorial!!!..How do u add efx like echo to the track u are mixing out of in Ableton?

[@clubkillerstv]

Click through to 28 minute mark and I break down step by step how top add eq, echo etc. Thanks for the comment man!

[@tattkingeli3306]

Thank you thank you for this video sir !!!

[@DJCarrasco]

Awesome...thanks!

[@mrniceguy79]

thx ikon! Great tutorial!

[@Ziggy_v2]

Thank you for this video- I'm curious if you have tried Serato Studio and how it compares to Ableton?

[@DJHesam]

Thank you so much for the video but I have quick question. you added simply delay to the box under audio. I don’t have the option to do that. Can you please help me on how to do it. Thank you

[@kyledung8936]

skimmed through this pretty quick to see how you mastered but i noticed that when you warp in complex pro the tracks normally get pushed past the red. do you generally lower those before adding compression or just leave them?

[@ChrisMortillaro]

Great video, can you explain the master tempo change in more detail?

[@clubkillerstv]

Master tempo change allows you affect the tempo or BPM of the track or mix globally. You can also affect individual sections in the master track window. Song tempo is enabled by default. Here is a link to a video from Loopmasters that dives into this with a lot of detail. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZPNh41oZbpphdU

[@ChrisMortillaro]

thank you for this

[@seancort9352]

Great video, how long did it approximately take you until your whole DJ mix was done?

[@djizzy12]

Can you share this mix you did?

[@renosa5208]

can you please share scratch tools like the one you have in channel 6? Thanks

[@djashraf-dallastexas3549]

thanks for sharing can you show us how to add drum loops throughout the mix and maybe using VST plugins

[@clubkillerstv]

Hi, yes I will do a follow up video with VST plug ins and loops. Great question!

[@MauricioArevalo]

DJ Ashraf - Dallas Texas you can add drum loops by first creating a MIDI channel (Cmd+Shift+T), and on the browser section clicking Instruments > Drum Rack and dragging it onto the midi channel Then you can place your own samples on the drum rack

[@Whoislesa]

Nice video, One question. Do you change the bpm through out the mix from 104?? If you do, can you show us how you transition from 104 bpm

[@MtnNDewMe]

lol

[@teztezza2202]

when I hit command g it doesn't group it just gives me more audio slots

[@Fuaxxd]

how do i mix tracks that have different bpms??'

[@relayofficial5910]

How do you get songs from SoundCloud into abelton? If that’s even possible?

[@andreaavalos5261]

you have to convert the songs on Soundcloud to MP3 first, then download the MP3 file to your computer. Google "Soundcloud to mp3 converter" and copy & paste embedded link to the converter.

[@djace5191]

Quick question, how did you records your scratches in ableton?

[@behzadrezaee1845]

How can I play a similar set live? is this method only for recording and not playing live?

[@MM-lo8dn]

You would have to use Live Session mode instead of arrangement view. With live session, you are able to trigger your songs anyway you like. The most important thing is making sure every song you add is quantized properly so it can stay in sync with any bpm. I would look for some tutorials on Ableton live session performances to give you a better understanding.

[@shawnpeterson1825]

also question, I've tried asking ppl before but no response, can you drag music from Apple Music, or does it have to be serato or like Beatport. just wondering because all of the music libraries I have are on Soundcloud and Apple Music.

[@Chazblock1]

Shawn Peterson you can drag music from itunes yes

[@DJRatchet1]

you can always get the wego2 and make it a lot faster..........ijs

[@Liveyourlife32]

need more tutorials

[@xasancle]

How can we SYNC tempo on the fly?

[@adop274]

Where can you download acapellas?

[@ToofastAJ]

dope ! But technics and a pioneer mixer much better ! lol

[@ClectaSkiMusic]

Cool stuff but i think i'll stick to actually using DJ equipment to make my mixes

[@alroccbeatz788]

Do the same tutorial with Ableton live intro

[@goodman8601]

the same thing applies for intro, the only thing about intro is that you get limited tracks

[@clubkillerstv]

I have never used Intro. Let me download it and get familiar with it's differences and I will put that together for you.

[@djmarzell4569]

@@clubkillerstv and if you can do it for abelton lite 10 2 thanks

[@musicmaking8863]

get a set of decks, more fun, less prep/

[@jamesscade8479]

Less prep but much more limited with what you can do especially if you have your own sounds etc that you want to use

[@bradenflaherty4036]

This is probably useless to you now but for the first 3 minutes of the video why don't you just ctrl C instead of doing it over and over again just copy it lol and then rename it!

[@ishotrambo2511]

What is the benefit to making this in Abelton over just mixing it live....? Cool concept just seems really time consuming

[@clubkillerstv]

Hi Juan, yes it is very TIME consuming. A lot of reasons you would want to produce a mix like this. Many times companies won't accept mixes that are created live simply from a quality control issue. They want something that is perfect based on their brand. Another reason is you can simply do things with multi tracking you can't do live. It's not for everyone and not something you want to do all the time.

[@ishotrambo2511]

Oh, alright that's awesome. Thanks for the reply :D

[@MomentswithDavid]

wow this is super complicated

[@JK-bh5lr]

Graphics looks like it was designed for Mac in 90s >

[@RB-jw5wd]

This video should be 10 minutes long max. Still don't understand why you round bpm up and down, just makes no sense....

[@MM-lo8dn]

A detailed video shouldn't be 10minutes. A lot of people don't understand the editing and other technical aspect of Ableton which can be very intimidating for those not familar with the software. He covers editing, the music itself, eqing, etc.

[@krutoyinfo]

A1, A2 - are you kidding??? You don't know musical notation and keys???

[@sergekozmin1336]

Ummm, right around 18:38 does he say lower the track by one or two DECIMALS? bahahaha it is definitely "decibels", and I hope I just heard it wrong, but I'm getting the impression he actually thinks it's decimals

[@cosmolv]

You can do it in Mixmeister mutch faster and easier. This is waste of time...

[@clubkillerstv]

What type of music do you play? When you're switching up tempos / genres Mixmesiter isn't as efficient. Effects and plug ins don't come close to Ableton.

[@adop274]

Where can you download acapellas?
