Creative Midi Processing in Ableton Live - Ned Rush

[@broklee]

One of the most underrated technical Ableton channels on KZbin

[@snoopyoverthehills]

agreed

[@MV-es3sk]

So good! Can you recommend others?

[@CCumming1000]

The best

[@CCumming1000]

Truly the Mylard Melodies of Ableton

[@jona8659]

true, altho those in the know all deeply love him

[@bcornels]

I pre-like your videos before watching them. I’m that confident in the material. Cheers!

[@RussArteaga]

Lol

[@Satwamassive]

I don't even watch them....I just like them.

20:17 is Mindblowing! 🤯

[@NedRush]

sorry about that

[@farmersmith7057]

I think his mouth was plugged into the random filter 🙃

[@DarkFutureConsolidated]

"I've remade Analord" Brilliant.

[@Horizontedesucesos_]

this video is pure gold. I started a new track immediately after watching it and I'm almost finishing it

[@Vingul]

Never completely finish a track! It's the first rule of producing.

[@Horizontedesucesos_]

@Vingul oh yes, of course I never finished it, as all my other tracks lol

[@rudey6933]

Ned your videos are a source of endless enjoyment and education. You’re an underrated comedy genius also

[@gavinpeters9531]

Somehow missed this one when it came out! 3 years on and I think midi processing is still a hugely under-utilised realm. Although Ableton Live has certainly upped their MIDI game since back then.

[@SIQN-]

One thing I love about how you tackle the midi effects is that you sort of treat it like a modular setup. Always great fun and informative. Thank you, again, Ned!!!

[@MassVill586]

It's funny you say that.... I got into modular during COVID and I swear the transition was made so much easier from watching Ned's videos for years. (not in terms of synthesis itself but all the insane routing possibilities) It made the open flexibility and mad routing chains easier to handle. Also Ned's old random velocity tricks etc work wonders when sending MIDI to CV. Ned is the hero we all need,

[@SIQN-]

@@MassVill586 the routing chains is exactly what I’m getting at. It’s a very modular mindset. I love it.

[@maggowitschwittbronsky8222]

the mad professor putting out some more useful secrets. thanks so much for sharing your deep wisdom.

[@oshinenajarian]

How the hell does Ned just whip these nuggets out of his beat hole? Always impressed

[@HumanSynthetics]

Excellent use of 'plaintive' here, so apt! Sick as ever.

[@mundelator]

More IDM Mondays please, this is brilliant ! Great results Ned, classy classic vibes in this one.

[@NedRush]

I didn’t know I did IDM Mondays.

[@mundelator]

@@NedRush Well you did one 😂

[@sirsilver1968]

I love you monotronic intro Ned is that even a word haha

[@horrisnorris6478]

I was really surprised at how much it started sounded like an Analord bonus track towards the end, and almost as soon as I thought that Ned said the same!

[@tekhnopranaexploratoryelec1445]

Oh, Ned! That was very fun and inspiring! Thank you!

[@WhiteWhiskerMusica]

20:15 No edits. No mercy. But really, super helpful stuff to make... weird good music shit. Now I just need to afford an upgrade from Lite to be able to use half the tools you demo 😅

[@danilocastivideo]

Nice Job Ned!

[@ahorseinahospital]

This was absolutely the most insightful video I'd watched in 2021 so far. Kudos to you sir

[@nickimparato1965]

This mans is the cyborg bob ross of Ableton and I am here for every minute of it

[@meBrokenBody]

That's great ideas!! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@jopmens6960]

Great as always. You're such a velocityfreak 😂 i love it (Joined your discord)

[@djGreenALERT]

I'm sitting here engrossed watching how this all unfolds into a work of art, and then I swear I heard an ice cream van, but alas no. it was the melody.. Curses!!! I mean I very much enjoyed the video and a big thank you for sharing, but now I want a cornet with a flake and my local Tesco isn't even open yet!!

[@huntrrams]

Found this on the Ableton sub! Great stuff!

[@maximilianfischer8685]

says: but perhaps you got a limited skill set when it comes to how music works generally. says: im gonna work in c major but im going to use mode two of c major wich as we all know is d dorian also says: a very satisfying fluctuation between minor and major flavors bcs of the inclusion of the minor third and the minor seventh but also the major second and the major sixth. love your vids man! gave me allot of inspiration and laughs ! id love to share some beers with you while doing a little jam !

[@chipwillis]

a rabbit hole brought me here, now thinking should i watch just one more.....

[@pnKroKbobby]

Love this video, so cool what you can do with random generation of note. Thanks for doing this, your depth of knowledge really shows. Please do more like this.

[@brunovalente2077]

Man, I just loved the idea of the random midi fx mixed with the probability in the drums, and with the arpeggio in melodies also. Thank you so much, I think you just helped me find the solution for get more motivated to keep going while composing. Basically I get bored of my own loops after a while ... And in the end I can always comeback to the randomness part capture the midi in a new track and choose and edit the best loops.

[@hirnzircus]

You are a real Ableton wizard!

[@pistoleriksson]

This is great!

[@emmaobrelius]

Haha! Your talented AND funny, perfect for a teacher. Thank you!

[@xiaojieye2765]

Effortless. Love it Ned 💥

[@Krung0401]

Fantastic.

[@partsmob8663]

You are a fantastic teacher!

[@HumanMotives]

Lovely video and concepts! With the random melody/notes generation I like adding a max 4 live lfo mapped to change the rate of the arpeggiator and to the random chance rate. This way you get flurries of fast notes and slow notes with large gaps in between as well as a change in how much the notes change. This is perfect for when you want things even more organically and less repetitive. In fact this makes me want to make a video about it just to see what that sounds like haha 😆

[@JonDigitalTV]

You absolute diamond

[@melohner5803]

Thank you Don Ned

[@OBudful]

U made my day good sir

[@eonz8]

Love your video's mate!

[@bitriplex]

Brilliant 👏 👏 👏 Just awesome how you let the computer makes the music It made me realize that I don't know anything about these midi voices amount. What it makes exactly?

[@jaumepp1975]

Fantastic, as usual.

[@christopherdancel8522]

And I'm back driving to the ski mountains in '97 listening to Midwinter Log, but it's funky and I don't know what's gonna happen

[@tzzzzz424]

Thank you so much!!! where can i find the following video on how to record the bits and pieces into arrangement for further processing?

[@NedRush]

I didn't make it yet.

[@tzzzzz424]

@@NedRush okay, thx for replying, Ill figure it out:)

[@NedRush]

Basically my plan was to do a video about midi comping so give that a try.

[@tonijame5047]

who are the red fingers ? So amazing what is given. sorry, i'm french... can't say more;. blue one done

[@positive303]

Hi Ned My names mick I'm in the process of starting a website for ableton users I find your videos among the most engaging on KZbin would you mind if I shared some of your videos on my site . In return I would give vip access to the site for life and of course you would be getting more clicks as well let me know what you think Kindest regards Mick
