A trick : watch series on KaldroStream. Been using it for watching all kinds of movies lately.

[@christiandaxton6285]

@Noah Jared yup, I have been using Kaldrostream for years myself :D

[@keagancarson6371]

@Noah Jared yea, have been watching on KaldroStream for since december myself =)

[@niilo2852]

Finally an ableton channel that focuses on creative approaches and experimentation rather than teaching everyone how to make the same generic thing over and over. You and Ned Rush are the best. Glad I found you

[@TheSFHAA]

Mr Bill is your friend

Tom cosm too

[@felknix]

This taught me so much in only 20 mins! Thank you!

[@misplacedmusic3582]

I thought i was going to take a day off of Ableton but this video changed my mind

[@michellew.3691]

I randomly got a billdboard number 1

[@SeedtoStage]

LOL! This definitely tops the comment charts

[@AndresCiambotti]

9:50 You absolutely need to upload this song man its awesome

[@A_broken_guy]

Jesus Christ, this is sensational 💥

[@joyboricua3721]

Interesting thing is that the " heavy lifting " really applies how you are the instance filter of an machine output. As a musician, I spent lots of use a doing the "heavy lifting" but certainly serendipity awaits with those little trinkets. Thanks for an excellent video mate!

[@bobclark5360]

You are an excellent instructor and your real use case examples are just great. I was hoping to find templates but it not a deal breaker. Te content is just terrific. Thanks

[@joebetz6317]

I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing. As a producer with only 8 or so months in the game, it's awesome to learn my way around Live better thanks to videos like these. Looking forward to what comes next 🙌

[@AndreGMendes]

This is actually the way i’ve been working with live for the past couple of years, but in fact it took more time to get here than i was initially expecting. 😅 Still there’s always new things we find while playing and combining different midi device techniques, it’s kind like of a journey. In my setup for each midi tracks i have 2 midi chains. Both have the same midi device structure (chord-arp-random-velocity-pitch-“a max for live device to apply probability filter of incoming midi notes”-scale) but the second chain has a m4l polyrthmic device to generate notes as the first device of the chain. So this way i can combine notes that exist in a midi clip with notes that are generated on a separate chain. Since both chains have the max for live device to filter the notes, It’s called “chance” btw. Using two knobs i can dial different probabilities and combined them in a random but controlled way, but this is just the top of the iceberg :) My advice for people that might be struggling with how to build and structure settings and programs for different presets/songs in a setup like this: Clyphx Pro is your friend. Great video man! Subscribed! 🙌

This is the dopeness that helps with the Ableton.. The Sub, Gr8 Video..

[@heckensteiner4713]

This looks super fun! I'm not super into electronic music because of the repetition in most tracks, but this adds a fun, creative, and organic approach to composing/performing. Love it! I got Ableton Live Lite free with some hardware. Going to give this a shot!

[@AR-sv7fk]

You took my compositions to another level!! Infinite thanks…

[@daraacca]

This video is brilliant ! Best channel on youtube for all those best tricks!

[@AEOuriel]

enlightening as always anthony

[@DoctorRapper]

This might just be the video that levels up my productions. Thank you for this great content!

Thanks again my friend, your tips and tricks just always seem to lead to hours of inspiration, discovery and possibility!

[@ericsattlerfloatythepreten676]

I love Papadosio!! I have been watching all of your videos and am really appreciative of all the tips. Finding out you're also a huge inspiration to my music is also awesome. Keep it up ! Thanks again !

[@GeorgeEvangelopoulos]

This is a treasure

[@Ozan_Feryat]

I very thank you Anthony for this kind of good educational videos of you.

[@mizzoe2809]

Thank you sir. All these tutorials are so informative.

[@dreamaera]

Very useful methods, great stuff, thanks for sharing

[@freshmint5130]

Brilliant instruments for production. Thanks!

[@engeomusic]

Another great video, thanks tthogs. The probability pack is amazing for this kind of work too.

[@jolly3267]

You don't have to remove the plugin into a separate midi track away from the sequencers/generators to record the midi into a separate track. You can save some time by just making one new midi channel and taking the midi from the channel you're already using with the plugin there. No need to make 3 different midi tracks to record midi.

[@robertobreve8623]

Wow this is just what I needed, I suck at music theory this helps a lot to find melodies that fit, thank you!!

[@nelsonriches]

Really useful!!

[@dogchaser520]

Very good stuff. Thank you for this. But the hard attack gives me PTSD of being in Japan trying to get a phone for 2 hours and the instrumental music playing "soothing" hard-attack chimes for the entirety. I got a Samsung Galaxy S5 that had a DoCoMo sheep wandering over the screen asking if I wanted help. This was a feature that most people were too polite to complain about being utter bullshit that everyone immediately removed.

[@ozielmoralescabrera8821]

thank you, im going to buy one of your packs cause i have to give you somthing in return, this lesson is unique, it shouldnt be free

How is that lining up done? 9:10

is this video a part of another video..like part one or something? it happens to start in the middle...

can i have that operator preset plz? 1st pluck type sound

I just took a screenshot. This will get close then you just have to turn down the sustain of envelope 1 and tweak decay to taste. imgur.com/e8JTxlb

[@amardeepsingh498]

@@SeedtoStage what about the wavetable on different OSC? which wavetable are you using?

[@unfeadunicorn]

so how did you get the Rhodes samples to line up c1 to g1 you didn't show anything they just lined up but your mouse didn't move at 9:10

[@kjhhu6876]

They automatically line up

[@unfeadunicorn]

@@kjhhu6876 ye i realized afterwards it was a dumb question

[@randkorp2003]

"I'm just going to show you something real quick" is where you lost me. Music theory. "As long as the bass is F, the C minor preset will actually be F Minor"

15:07 That's some real Aphex Twin shit going on there.

[@stephenharrop2573]

You should really upload these to orient to landscape view on fullscreen. Can't see any text on the DAW whatsoever viewing this on a phone. If I can see what the cursor is doing, I can watch these any time and remember the flow, as opposed to having to watch the video in segments while working on the computer, or even watch it on my phone without having to go back and forth between windows every time the visual is unclear. Great videos, but I can't get anything out of them as often as I'd like to.

[@all1nz]

They render in landscape for me. Do you have screen lock on?

[@WDuchx2]

No way ! scales lmao

[@erayozvarlik]

I do get what you are trying to teach and show here but, got to ask, will you ever listen any of the product you made along this video? Do you really think you achieved music here?

[@AndreaBedoya]

Hi, nice video, love the sound, should be nice if we start to suscribed eachother, I like your content!

[@Phipanjo]

Wow such futuristic shit! The first time someone using the scaling device & it sounds odd. maybe because triggering the keyboard like a cat will sound like one... all new "tutorial" videos about this DAW ends up by kids entertainment or to kill the boredom of the video creator.

[@wolfgang4468]

I'm looking forward to all the pseudo music that people are going to produce this way, yaaaawn ...

[@respectfulremixer]

Can you share links to some of your music and/ or tutorials please? Would be good to check out your workflow.

[@chrisp7405]

Your comment is the real yawn, these inspiring methods could be used for multiple purposes so get your pompous head out of your ass.
