FASTEST RESAMPLING TECHNIQUE EVER!?

Great tip. I've been using the Quick Recorder max device to do the exact same thing. Saved in default template and keymapped as well. Only have to set the file path once at the start of each project and then re are resampling the entire session. 👏 maxforlive.com/library/device/6163/quick-recorder

On a related note, you can record into the Ableton Looper device when the transport is stopped. I felt like Mr. Bill just a little when I figured that out. I used it to record the scrubbing back and forth in Melodyne.

[@kenporter6059]

Ableton really needs to implement a proper bounce in place. Something that's in non-realtime like Logic, Studio One, etc. Select a clip or part of a clip, use a key command and just bounce that portion to a new track. It's the most requested feature currently.

[@PatMaddox]

MRecorder has two other features that will make your sampling process even faster: 1. It will trim silence at the beginning and end of your sample, using the "trim threshold" setting in the post processing section.If you're working digitally, you can set the threshold to -199 dB by double-clicking it. All your recordings will now be perfectly trimmed. 2. There's a little "WAV" button with an arrow in the big bottom recording panel, where it shows the time and size of the file. Drag that button and drop it wherever you want, and it's just like dragging a file from the browser.

[@PikaGasMask]

Just got ableton and was getting frustrated with the bouncing process. This is gonna make learning so much easier

[@VCVRackIdeas]

Freeze is still very effective method to do bounce in place with dragging highlighted freezed stuff into a new track. The only disadvantage if the freezed track is a way too long, entire track would be freezed and that can steal a bit of time. But hey you don't even need a browser or any additional setup to do that.

[@sanjacobs6261]

Another disadvantage is that you still have the issue of the reverb tail colliding with the next sample, so you'll have to go through and mute stuff and unmute it afterwards again, and if the you're using a plugin on the track that is something thicc like a Kontakt patch, the unfreeze might take a while.

[@battledj2933]

Maybe a little file/folder tip, if you hold shift and right click on a file or folder you can select "copy as path" very handy as you don't have to go up and click in the explore path to see first the path and than select to copy. You have to look 3/4 down in the right click menu to find it.

[@DaddaPsy]

Excellent! It's perfect for us Windows users as we aren't able to drag samples from our project into wavetable editors (like Serum or Vital) as Ableton is currently using them. The Mrecorder will eliminate that problem as it creates a completely new file you can drag into the wavetable editor.

A few reasons. 1. It's slower on bigger sessions (which I mostly deal with) 2. You can't render artifacts that way 3. You can't name your sound-design that way, they just get named something like "Freeze 10978460.wav" which is annoying if you're trying to find something later

[@TheOfficalAndI]

I know an even faster method, but it's not free. You can use a recorder by Image Line, called Edison. There is a vst version of it. You can set it up to automatically start recording on play, reducing filesize compared to toggling it with a hotkey. But you'd still have to arm it. The best part is that it has the option to drag and drop the recorded sample directly into your daw. In that case it will save the audio file in Edisons installation path with automated cryptic filenames. You can also save the file manually, which will result in almost the same workflow you currently have. It's an editor, so you could make last second adjustments to the file with fades etc.

Thank you for this. It's one of the main reasons why I miss using Logic honestly, all you had to do was select a number of regions in the arrangement-window (could be both midi and audio) and just press ctrl + B and you're done. A new track with the bounced audio is created. Wish Ableton had that feature.

[@vain.a]

if u right click on a track and hit freeze then after it loads u right click again and hit flatten it does the trick and quite efficiently idk why not many ppl are talking abt this or if im missing something.

[@zugrath16]

​@@vain.a Like Mr Bill said in comment below, it's a pain if you're working on bigger projects and have to freeze a whole track. That could take a long time to render. And you can only freeze and flatten one track a time I think? So you can't bounce multiple tracks to one audio file. I guess you could just use the "resampling"-mode to record the output of several tracks ... but then you also have to solo the specific tracks you want to record and also bypass all the plugins on the master (since "resampling" just records the output of the master channel). In Logic you only have to select the the regions you want to bounce and press ctrl + B and all the work is done for you. And only takes like 1 second. Which is quite handy if resampling is a big part of your workflow.

[@christophpetersart3803]

You can simply create a new track and change the routing to resampling and then record the signal coming from the master buss. You don't need to flatten anything or do fansy stuff. 2 clicks and it's done....

[@nutelhere]

I always send everything to a separate track called "premaster" - and that track is sending to the Master bus. For resampling purposes I just solo the track in question, record-enable that premaster track (Audio From: "No Input", Monitor: "In") and hit record. It won´t be faster than that.

For everyone who thinks Freezing and flattening is better. Imagine being 3 minutes into a song, and it takes +30 seconds for the entire track to freeze, this becomes a much better alternative.

[@NaPzt3R]

One isn’t better than the other, it’s purely preference. I don’t think waiting +30 seconds is a problem. I regularly wait +10 minutes for entire mixes to render. If you don’t have much time, this method seems cool, but the convenience of Freeze and Flatten is that the sample renders in place, which I prefer.

[@thirdbeat]

What about enabling reverb,, disabling the other parts for a long reverb tail, freezing and then copy part of a freezed track that has the reverb to a new track, then unfreeze? Makes you loose nothing and would result in a audio track, and no extra plug-ins?

[@shane5003]

My Method - 100% WET FX you want on X Return. For longer stuff Send what u want to X return. Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-R and select the return as the render track. Name it what u know it will be like "rev guitar". Save to project root. Organized. Fast. Drag in rendered sample from "Current Project" on left. No need for extra folder. If it's a short sample, send to x return (you can map this too for quick on off), solo that return, and use your resampling track to capture. You can avoid getting things further down the track into the delay network by just sending what u want at that moment to the FX. Mapped buttons work fine for this if you need it to be super accurate and fast but usually really just the mouse is good enough. Other methods I used to use - If it's audio duplicate clip and open in external editor (adobe audition pre ver 2 or cool edit pro open in less than a second). Perform all destructive editing there with saved shortcuts. So you can have a saved reverb shortcut and then reverse with shortcut and alt tab back to DAW. That whole process takes about 4 seconds as its all offline but it has to originate from an audio clip and you don't get vsts in cool edit. Use Later Adobe audition for vst support but longer load times. I am fine with Audition 1.5 reverb for reverse reverbs its not going to sound "real" anyway. Another audio only method is have tracks with fx you want and drag the clip to that track then render with that track soloed. Drag in from side as described above. It's only for audio but more explicit than the sends. After 20 years of doing this shit that first method is all I use now though as its universal / works with MIDI tracks and it requires no extra setup as I have all the FX I want on returns anyway. If you want hyper optimized speed and its audio use the 3rd method with external editor.

You could set it up in your master channel by default, and with a key map you almost don't need to do a single thing other than map the file destination. If you have a certain effect you do this with all the time (like a reverb) you could keymap that as well and have both the reverb and the recorder turn on when you press the hotkey, then off at the same time when you're done recording. 10 seconds to set up to not have to do it again while you work on the project saves loads of time than setting up a resampling track everytime.
