Today we're going to explore some creative arpeggiator tricks. These are some interesting techniques to come up with unique and interesting ideas by utilising the tools our DAW. We will utilise an arpeggiator to automatically generate ideas. I'm using Ableton Live, but all of these techniques and principles are applicable to Logic, Cubase, Reason, FL Studio, Studio One, Bitwig and all other popular DAW's.

[@dodoarsenalfc]

awesome video, as usual ♡

[@dilbydj]

🙌🙌🙌

[@difflocktwo]

lol that first basic 16th up-arp in the track that you didn't like, wasn't that bad. Had that galloping feel.

[@dilbydj]

Just listened back... still think I sounds shit 😂✌️

[@dylantyler2366]

Awesome video. Please do a video on how you made bass in this track

[@sidlvaga]

I’m trying that speed variation on logic but doesn’t work quite as well as how you do. Love that effect!

[@dilbydj]

I'm sure it's possible to do something similar. I don't use Logic though, so can't be much help there unfortunately.

[@sidlvaga]

@@dilbydj yes there is but it’s not as seamless as what you’ve shown, I’ll keep trying different arps, thanks for your reply 🙏

[@jsonslim]

[@G3ra300]

[@dilbydj]

Thanks 😊

[@dindin827droid]

Bro, sorry, currently what features does your PC have (CPU, RAM) and what version of ableton do you use, I'm looking for one to work something very similar to what you do... (Tech, deep, afro), thanks! 🙏

[@dilbydj]

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X CPU, 32gb ram, Ableton Live 11. But I also use this computer for video editing. You can produce on a pretty modest computer.

[@dindin827droid]

@dilby what do you think of a macbook pro with 8 ram and an i5 processor? It is to produce afrohouse

[@dilbydj]

@@dindin827droid pc is better for afro house

[@dilbydj]

@@dindin827droid no, I'm joking about the pc for afro house thing. What I will say is that you can get a much higher spec pc than Mac for the same price. The most bang for your buck is going to be a desktop pc that you put together yourself. I switched from Mac to pc a few years back. My pc is a beast and cost significantly less than the cheapest new MacBook Pro There are minimum requirements on the Ableton website. Use whatever you have at your disposal and if need be work towards upgrading, but don't let it stop you from being creative.

[@dilbydj]

If you really want to buy a Mac for production I think the Mac mini is probably the most efficient investment

[@antlengray]

Hey man! Thanks for your tutorials once again!! I have a question 😇 How do you add those extra empty notes? kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqWwiXhredWWZrc

[@dilbydj]

Ah, right. Good point! I added the ones with the drums first, then move the clip to a midi track that doesn't have a drum rack. That way you can see the full piano roll. I then added the notes and move it back to the track with the drum rack.

[@Lupo150]

Hi! Can anyone shed some light how to create that atmospheric short chord sound in the background @14:50?

[@MrGeorgegreene86]

the perc with arp is a sick idea!

[@dilbydj]

Good one ✌️
