Dubstep wobble bass Pt 2 | Ableton Live Tutorial | Operator, FM

[@TheWeswells]

You made it very easy to understand. Without ever having used any programs like this, I was able to watch your video (while following along), and figure out the operator device. After playing with it for a while I found my ideal filthy bass I was looking for.

[@PorkyG73]

Man you guys never stop delivering outstanding tutorials.

[@johnoprisor06]

I commented a few years ago on this, but just watched it again and I would like to thank the Dub Spot members for all the tutorials... I have advanced in ableton due to you guys...

[@SuperiorRobot]

thought you should know you're the only online tutorial about this that makes any sense and you are brilliant at demonstrating it

[@TeLeKiNeSiS360]

Thank you for this tutorial! Your 1st video and this one both have helped me tremendously! This one is what I really wanted to know because that's why I invested in the Live Suite...Operator. Knowing how to create my own sounds using a synth is invaluable. Thank you!

[@usernamephillip]

Finally! A new video i was getting tired of Simpler. The sound it makes just doesn't have that....thing. Great video!

[@odubbs18]

AWESOME! I much prefer using the operator than simpler so im glad you showed how to make this noise with operator. Thanks again!

[@DJForky]

Mate your a legend! Little things like this keep me plugging on!. Could spend hours fine tweaking this. I'm over awed by Ableton.

[@soulgoodmusictube]

I am loving ur tutorials man!, you make them very user friendly and easy to understand..... thx

[@ReeferFest]

operator and corpus are amazing. thanks for the tutorials!

[@StoneZFTV]

It's amazing what I learned from Dubspot, hope's it always will go on!

[@monebags11]

This is amazing. Really, can't thank you enough. Hope to learn much more from you guys in days to come.

[@Rxslc]

finally, this video is easy to understand and follow along with. thanks so much. now i wanna play with that wobble pad looks so dopee

[@G0lfman38]

Thanks so much! I can actually start trying to produce. Made about 3 new wubs. you guys are awesome!

[@LucidDreamTricks]

@ColtSk8sLife It's ableton live with the operator plugin, it works on mac

[@planetNS]

@KriptexHD in the instruments. it comes with Ableton. If you can't find it, it's a plugin so you could probably search "operater plugin Ableton Live 8 (or 7,6,5,4,3,2,1) download"

[@XaviousStudios]

The key "z" puts the notes down an octave and the key "x" puts the notes up an octave. The C and V keys adjust frequency.

[@xteevee]

@synthxplayer Neither, I'm using external speakers (surround system with woofer). Dubspot's reply solved my problem.

[@jeffersonkim]

Thanks! I'm uploading a video of me recording using your method of Dubstep! It should be up by morning. Thank you again. It was fun, and rediculous at the same time.

[@tseidl156]

@Murkling that really just depends on what youre trying to do. i use the m-audio axiom25 which have a 25 key keyboard plus 8 programmable knobs and trigger pads. it works great for me. Akai i know also has great controllers. If youre looking to do more live producing, the novation launchpad is the way to go

[@johnnytluxury]

@OnCall101Villa When you drag, make sure what you're dragging is highlighted, and the destination you're dragging to is highlighted as well.

[@banginclude]

@unku - For the Lemur patch im using a single slider to change rate of the wobble, not buttons. With the Lemur you can set up grid points on the slider which lock in to specific points on slider.Here i have grid points set up to lock in on specific rates-1/16,1/12,1/8...it would be tricky to set up using buttons with vanilla Live, you'd have to set up each button to send out the same cc number but each would have a different value. something like max for live would help out with this.-MIchael

[@gregasker7817]

Great - simple, easy and really informative - love your channel - keep up the good work : )

[@SeedfulMusic]

Your a really good teacher man. Thanks

[@johnnytluxury]

Operator is AWESOME to make sweet basses. Im soo in love with it, its taken over Zebra at this point (and Zebra aint no bullshit). BUT Nobody wobbles much anymore. Its a played out technique. Try apped basses, twisting up arpeggios to create the wobble timing feel, but not with the lfo'd sillyness. And of course, if youre that talented, you can mix lfo with arpeggios, but I've found it to be too little correlation in one sound.

[@AnimateMe3]

@OKCVista usually you change the octave with the "z and x" button:)

[@EvilMambo]

Just as good as the first wobble tutorial all of my LOVE FOR DUBSPOT! thank you so much... i'm wobbling my neighbors apartment out! xD

[@Noizy_Katz]

oh my God your tut is way simple and easy to understand thank you so so much bro and God bless you thanks again

[@peabea1]

Nice vid. seems it's all about massive these days, but I really like this synth.

[@G0st]

You can Click+Hold the "knob" in Ableton and while the song is playing just move it back and forth. Typically wobbles follow a "beat" pattern so the best thing to do is edit the wobbles (1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 etc..) as enveloples either in the "clip" or on the arrangement view. if you want more help send me a msg

[@sinduda]

nice tutorial! saves anyone needing to use a sample..

[@MrZah]

Great video man, love all this stuff, and I'm probably going to be physically attending your school soon! One question though: at the end of the video, you held down the "clip stop" button on your APC, and got it to repeat a short segment of the bar. I also have an APC, and I;m curious what and how you mapped that. Thanks in advance for anyone who could answer this!

[@xteevee]

@DubSpot Thanks, that solved my problem! I'm really a beginner as you noticed, I'd better go over the basics of Ableton first. :)

[@assertivemayonaise]

Love it! Thanks DubSpot!

[@ferrencebeeb]

I also find the tone nob to be really effective when using the oscillators in series.

[@Cadebenson]

@ColtSk8sLife i'm running Ableton 8 on an mac. i am pretty sure you can get the very basic ableton package for around 400 bones. it's a stripped down version. The standard version is a bit more and then the suite was like 800. If you're thinking of buying i'd go for at least the standard because i think the low end pack is missing some of the cooler plugins like corpus and what not. it's fun like space travel.

[@johnnytluxury]

@DubSpot Yeah, I know. I wasn't asking, I was letting the people know what else is out there thats like Lemur. :) Personally, I refuse to support Apple, so I'll wait for an Android Tab. Right now, I'm using There'sa for WinMo to control Ableton. Not exactly full featured and looks very retro, but it works, for now.

[@johnnytluxury]

@DJDavverMusic Let it be known, you can get the same type control with an iPad, at a much lower price (and more functionality). Griid and touchAble should be available at the App Store now, and are quite wicked without the crazy price point of the Lemur.

[@shiggedyshiggedyshwa]

@WC7495 i agree man! i made a track using all operator instruments lately, although i did add in some plug ins to add some more effects towards the end

[@neekrusher2085]

Great tutorial. I walk pass the dub spot office on 14th all the time One day I will stop in and say hello.

[@jackatejill]

and another great video ! thanks for this

[@danielericpetersen1]

Very insightful, thank you

[@derfrellim7077]

Get a MIDI controller so you can map it to whatever button/synth key you desire and go to town =) If your someone such as myself then i cant entirely answer that question. Though i do think it has something to mapping to a specific key on your keyboard. Hope this answered your question.

[@TheAbsoluteLegend]

@DubSpot THANKYOU SO MUCH!!!

[@jjohnson3030]

Great tutorial! Thanks!!!

[@kheiland]

God damn your voice is soothing.

[@AnthonyC4DE]

Ok I'm coming from Reason cause I just couldn't figure out Ableton Live before. The only synths I was making was with the other tutorial where you use Simpler and that pre-made wave. Boooriiing. Figured I'd give it another try (cause I REALLY wanna use this program) and see how to make CUSTOM synths, like I do in Reason with Thor. I was beginning to think I'd need to buy a VST. I'm not even done with this video yet, I had to pause it to comment because I couldn't stop saying "This is SO cool!"

[@johnnytluxury]

You're probably playing the wrong note, the default sound is a simple sine wave. Doesnt matter if you're using a computer keyboard or midi controller (controllers dont send sound, they just tell the instrument what note to play.) Use Z to move the notes downwards, X to move notes upwards.

[@sob3ygrime]

awesome video man thank you

[@iAmFractalSky]

YES! thanks dubspot!

[@DjGiannisP]

You can use ur keybord to play notes...or a midi controler..both are fine

[@xDANNYWOWx]

@TheAbsoluteLegend you just need to press the "x" and "z" keys :)

[@Apelof]

This was a great video. Thanks

[@nickert0n]

Very fucking useful tutorial! Seriously though all of your tutorials are great, Thank you!

[@MrPhisch]

@DUBSTEPCre8tions maybe you have created an audio instead of a midi track? right click -> create midi track -> pull over operator. hope that helps.

[@spacepretentions]

a tutorial on sequencing multiple dubstep basses would be great.. enough with patches

[@djsleeper]

@ocarinacrazed hit "z" on your computer keyboard to lower an octave

[@visoden1]

@TheAbsoluteLegend thanks man for question!!!!!!

[@Wakeman1987]

best tip ever seriously wrecking it now

[@mcnultyfrank]

Great video, amazing channel CHEERS!!!

[@ObsequiousV4]

@OhYouSaggerson Have you gone into your preferences and selected "repair library" yet? It should install all of the instruments.

[@moodmusik]

very helpful. thanks!

[@shredandspin]

Really helpfull. Thanks a lot man.

[@mojamamaduda]

Nice tutorials guys :o

[@djsleeper]

@XJuiceBoxHeroX hit "z" on your computer keyboard to lower an octave

[@CatAvGuy]

Tip: Turn on English transcriptions and watch whenever he plays the sound towards the end.

[@natrixxvision6997]

My filter display isn't the same as yours. How do I get it to switch?

[@OMGlvl86turtlepilot]

illlly! thanks, but I was wondering if there was a way to change the rate of the wobble consistently, like you were doing with the Lemur, without using knobs. Since I want more solid rate changes without dealing with 1/12 and 1/24 notes.

[@twotrecool]

Great tips, any chance is the song at the start by !banginclude available anywhere? its sick!

[@XJuiceBoxHeroX]

i followed this step by step and its way high pitch

[@el1te1984]

@thedrill255 You can always go to the lfo and automate it, thats what I do.

[@anumbus]

I'm new to all of this. I do mostly Chicago Juke/ Rap production on Reason. I'm working on a mixtape and would love to fuse Dubstep with Juke and Hip Hop to make a sick hybrid sound for rappers to rap over. Please e-mail me if you are willing to teach me or work with me to create this.

[@JonRios]

finally a dubstep producer using a jazz mutant lemur.

[@johnnytluxury]

Also, dont be content with using just Operator, rack that bitch!! Rack it and split the freqs three way, then add spice to each of the freqs. Try an Operator, rack then add an effects rack. Split freqs with eight way EQ (Hi, Mid, Low), then slow wob or change the filter res of the mid, saturate the hi, then compress the whole joint for cohesion. Or throw the Saturator before you split freqs for some weirdness! Dont forget chorus, delay (comb filter effects!) I LOVE Ableton!

[@joshuaras1]

LOL press the cc button and transcribe audio!! funnnny as!

[@Ainigma]

@MEKON17 it is. it's just knowledge you're using.

[@bangaarhus]

nice mike :)

[@CVholik]

@m13j10f6 operator is only in ableton live suite, which is a couple hundred more than live lite.

[@Ktwonnn]

@Neroese1 I

[@pampalass]

sounds a bit like my fridge... p.s great vid :) keep em coming

[@kokooori]

I was wondering about this so long. When you click on the audio, try to press W J K L and other keys.

[@soulgoodmusictube]

@thedrill255 yeah i am gonna try that tip on this tutorial also

[@ResistanceMessage]

i understand how to map to a controller. but i'm curious to know how one can map lfo rate to multiple buttons on a midi controller other than a lemur in order to do what is shown on the lemur: i.e., different buttons for the different sync rates. it seems that ableton allows a parameter only one mapping...so this leads me to believe that lemur's software allows different values of a parameter to be spread out on the screen and represented by several different buttons.

[@tiffuhny]

@ace101guy Operator comes with Ableton Live Suite = the most expensive one

[@synthxplayer]

@Nippergod are you listening to these notes through macbook speakers, or are you running it out to actual monitors?

[@jmosizzle69]

@johnseep1 just capture the scene, or save it as a whole live set and bring it into a new live session

[@Brainbox97]

mmm this is nice

[@keisenb]

Hey Mike, I had a quick question I'm fairly new to ableton but am learning fast. I'm using massive to make my sounds and I get the wobble just how i like it and i go to put it in the track in ableton and it sounds slow and really bad. Do you know what I've done wrong or what settings I need to change? Thanks.

[@sinisterstanzas]

if you dont have operator, you can also just use a square synth.

[@teckzilla108]

I was just gonna ask you the same thing. Does it cost to upgrade??

[@xteevee]

The default sound from operator sounds totally different on my mac (much less bass). I didn't change any settings. I am using my standard keyboard to create the sounds, no MIDI-keyboard, is that why it sounds so different?

[@Murkling]

So im starting to get serious about this. But I have a question, what would be the best Midi Controller to buy?

[@laggan]

@DubSpot But in my experience you can't map the same digital knob to more then one midi-key. I'm guessing thats the problem @thedrill255 is having also?

[@jonahblock]

this is a great tutorial but just like with part one my sound just comes out different. the initial tone of the operator just starts off cleaner . what could be causing the difference? if you need to know I'm using an AKAI MPKmini

[@TehJizzCakes]

Not expecting a reply, really, but after I finish with the sound I want, and have recorded, how would I change the tempo of the wobble? Because I don't have your touch screen thing, :p

[@jhsoad95]

Im till on a 30 day trail, and i can't seem to find the Operator? Do you have to buy Ableton Live to get it?

[@paul42scott]

If you hit Z and X on the keyboard it changes the octave

[@gxlxs]

@jhsoad95 Operator and a bunch of other stuff only comes in Ableton Suite, not basic Live

[@300ZXCRAZE]

Which version of Ableton do you have? I cannot find the "Operator" file on mine.

[@Soundbending]

@unku This WHOLE TIME.. I GOT THE STUFF AND NEVER NEW IT>> I DIDNT INSTALL IT PROPERLY UNTIL I READ THIS POST RIGHT HERE> THE ONLY INSTRUMENT I HAD WAS SIMPLER> HAHA
