Chameleon - looping with Ableton Live and VoiceLive Play

[@sagdey56]

like, if you comeback sometimes to hear again this pure masterpiece of crazy fantasy

[@evaneightnine5598]

I don’t know if you’ll ever read this, but you have made a profound impact on my life. I needed someone like you

[@gavincastletonmusic]

Thank you, that's very wonderful to hear.

[@a_monte]

Gavin, it’s so good to be back on your KZbin. Thank you again for these gems 🙏

[@theCHASE87]

It's so fun to click on someone's work after they make a comment like FlavaBomb's. And I'm glad I did... I haven't laughed that hard in a while :-D Just wanted to say after years of following your work Gavin, your craft is on an entirely different level than most and even if you only make fans out of the very few who realize it, I think you should know you're still making a huge difference. I have a true respect for everything you do and the music world owes you a huge thank you.

[@MrMazzmosis]

lmao i forgot that I uploaded a picture of mr right to help with your video. great song 12 years later Gavin

[@shan1392]

11 years later and I'm still here in 2023

[@Derekberettachem6a]

I don't see how this video doesn't have at least 100,000 views already...talent, straight up talent. From one miniscule looper(myself) to a pro, you are the man.

[@AliG-py5dq]

7 Year later still amazing

[@nikitarsb777]

Wow, wow, wow! This is mind blowing. Watching this in 2017 with such amazement!

[@tiago110593]

Years later and this is still so inspirational. Genius!

[@DopamineOverload]

It's criminal that you only have 3000 subscribers, man. I remember Gruvis Malt WAY back in the day, and shit.... dude. More people need to know about you. It's just criminal.

[@Jazzmarcel]

chriscauldermusic he sounds so BLACK it's criminal!

[@pianoaround]

Wow this is pretty Intense. It gets so complex later on in the song.

[@JaimeMoralesDrums]

Awesome! The world needs more stuff like this. Different genres and everything.

[@CTCNathan]

Damn, you killed it! Now I want to learn how to loop, it seems so fun but can also sound dope as hell, obviously. I would say this is about as good as Kimbra's looping stuff, which is a high honor in my book. Nice Job! Edit: upon relistening, I now realize that this reminds me of SBTRKT a lot, which is also awesome. Oh, and the song is still really good.

[@hairyaries1]

Good Looping, good music, good lyrics, amazing singing and a twist at the end. Whats not to like =)

[@TheSheric99]

DAMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!! That was off the chain...I hope you continue to do your thing n forget about those haters! I really like your stuff. P.S. You made me smile on a bad day. :D

[@RoDo14092011]

I have no words to say for you. Just.... perfect

[@carflagentertainment]

Buddy That is sick , I am trying to learn how to loop , Then found your vid , That is beyond Looping , Not to mention your video editing and camera shots , VFX and colour correction and and going on , I hope people understand how much work went into this Video and song , Just the song alone would make me sleep from exhuastion LOL . Amazing job again

[@gavincastletonmusic]

Thank you for noticing!

[@steveo31226]

Great music. Great video. The picture of Isaac made me laugh out loud. Keep doing what you're doing.

[@Mirceabogdanstanciu]

you should have a million view, and you would deserve all of them...

[@emutemusic]

Awesome video my man! Waiting for my VoiceLive Play can't wait to start playing with it!

[@bdevil311]

Awesone song and video Gavin. Thanks for putting out such great music!

[@apmccall]

Great job dude! I'm liking the direction your new music is taking.

[@gavincastletonmusic]

thanks Derek, very kind of you to say. Much appreciated, coming from a fellow looper!

[@ErikaMay]

HELL FUCKIN YEAH. You win all the games. Bravo.

[@manlandmusic]

Great stuff, man! And nice progression, video skillz, from Sledgehammer. (LOVED that one, btw). Hey, are you using the UNO chip on the FCB or some other setup? Tips on that kind of tech shit could definitely be another income stream for ya. ebook, video course, blog, eList, Yo! Craig

[@abrasivetendencies8490]

My personal boogie swings quite a bit wider now. Thanks, Gavin!

[@kreativtverksted]

Great! Getting a thundercat feeling here! Love the vocal sound!

[@floyd3068]

Great song!! Fantastic setup....

[@Jinjer13]

[@younghandsome1636]

Great job love your sound & vocals

[@djinver]

i think its the best video i ever saw

[@simplysubliminal2943]

Damn it I wish I heard your voice on the radio. Better singer than Timberlake and better rapper than Eminem and definitely my favorite of Gruvis Malt. Nothing against Brendan but I just feel more soul from you.

[@gavincastletonmusic]

Aww, thank you for saying so! Mr. Conte is an extremely busy artist, I wouldn't dream of interrupting his work to promote my own.

[@powersmine]

Nice work!!! Great tune... WOW!!

[@JeromeTrumanClubb]

wicked job bro. dig the D'Angelo vibe.

[@somica2000]

very well done dude. Love your voice

[@HungryEyezFPV]

FrÅck'n †UUN∑! Very nice indeed! Well worth the work you put into it.

[@tipstosoar]

astounding talent

[@officialrachi]

Dopenessss..! Pretty Slick Gavin.

[@DarkTinman]

Such a great job!! Glad I stumbled upon this

[@DavidIzquierdoAzzouz]

Respect dude, really amazing and creative

[@debjitgain4999]

[@grigoridj]

[@sclifarilis]

This dude is really feeling it.!

[@etph1997]

MAAAAAAAAN ! This is simply amazing. So much talent !!!! Like waw ! :O

[@acidroll]

Superb chanson !

[@gavincastletonmusic]

Hi Joe, for me the TLM was an affordable way to get close to the sound of a U87 (they share the same capsule, I believe). I've used it for 6 years now, and never been disappointed with its clarity and sensitivity.

[@discountmadlibs]

Goddamn, Gavin, never stop.

[@mousy0808]

Holy Shit...No Joke, I agree with homeboy above. Why the hell this fool not have more than 20,000. Wish there was strait instrumental with him hittin a chorus. Wish I could write something to this. Love the beat, great singing.

[@ChordCluster]

great looping mate

[@gavincastletonmusic]

The looping is all happening within Ableton - the Voicelive Play does have looping capability, but I needed to be able to also loop all the synths and drum samples, so Ableton was the best way to go for that. The Voicelive Play is particularly awesome for vocal effecting - I used it for all the different voice effects.

[@alfiea5]

LOL @ FlavaBomb.....quality stuff, as usual, Gavin.

[@derez2112]

Holy Crap ... That was so Kick Ass.

[@zennboogie9152]

Gavin, I love the music. Thanks for sharing. Are you looping inside of Ableton or the Voicelive..? I'm thinking about buying a Voicelive and I came across your music looking at reviews for the Voicelive. Again great job on all the layers and the funky groove.

[@EvaMone]

that voice

[@chetazo]

THIS IS AMAZING!!!

[@gavincastletonmusic]

Yes I did. If you are an Ableton user, you can download the workfile (linked in the description) to see how I had it laid out.

[@johnbarrett7777]

Nice to see some sensible Clark's shoes up in this shit for real. Geeeyuh .

[@sapofrio]

Ah dope, I just did. Gracias hombre.

[@frnx0077]

Very well done!!!! I would really love to have that ableton session, trying to nail live looping with just acoustic voice and pedal control to ableton. STRUGGLING TO GET IT RIGHT. Your link is dead, it leads no where. Please be so kind and send a active link.... it would be highly appreciated

[@aliensalvation9284]

Nice voice. Thumbs up

[@tsubow]

Definitely a fan! Bad Bro.. fo sho.....

[@MrChinner118]

the imperfections are the best part

[@rickteixeira8463]

Good job man!

[@whinchacha]

two keyboard at a time and singing! Ur good.

[@shawnajohnson5350]

Gavin, what an accomplishment this song is! I LOVE it. You are an amazing artist and I would love to see you perform. Are you touring? I visited your band camp site however it only has listings for May. "Doom" is perfect. I get you and your lyrics. You I

[@GaangusCon]

Dude, you are ridiculously talented! This makes me think of Prince hahaha

[@awinpaech]

wooooooooooooooooow...That´s AMAZING...sorry it is more than unbelievable...

[@bigfatdrum]

badass everything!

[@beatmac]

Good job!

[@Svineinfluenza]

I was a little disturbed by the ice-cream man at 5:40

[@Aliksmyth]

That groove!!!!

[@frnx0077]

Nope, seems i havent woken up yet.... got the link sorry. GREAT JOB ONCE AGAIN

[@EarthVsJazz]

This is great!

[@tommydavid7753]

[@stephenwemyss5396]

truly amazing stuff!

[@keyemup]

pure genius

[@zugel]

Really nice

[@AYNAMAOK]

awesome bro!!!

[@samifreeman8339]

this is ridiculous! awww I wish I could do that! do you give lessons!? :) IT's AMAZING!

[@gavincastletonmusic]

Yes it is.

[@rathersharp]

great stuff

[@lawsonjohnson7154]

this is so sick! lovin it

[@jluvtx]

Hello! I am HUGE fan! :D

[@michael_harren]

fuck....that keyboard solo....

[@KNHSynths]

Certainly a B3 lover... a very cool funky/jazzy way to play. Hammond-like keyboard touch, clavinet sound, all is here :-) Very impressive. And good.

[@michael_harren]

Olivier Dahan I need to learn that style. Looks like so much fun to play!

[@KNHSynths]

Michael Harren Just listen a lot of jimmy smith and other great B3 players and try to imitate. It's easy (to tell, to do that's another piece of cake) :-) Like Bach was saying it "organ is easy, just have to push the right touch at the right moment". ! I agree jazz/funk is a style giving a lot of pleasure. Making correctly a B3 screaming is a joy that's a bit animal, perhaps even sexual.

[@Sagi56668]

amazing!!!

[@Beggsnacon]

dig ur voice!

[@TheJonasz27]

Love it

[@Pahu1sd]

Very good

[@LEOPORT5]

Awesome!

[@alejandromg4186]

Hello from Argentina. as you do to record the live performance with Ableton Live. I do not quite understand how to complete performance to record my live, I read somewhere that you can capture the internal PC audio. Thank You

[@paperino0]

You just gotta record the audio of the master channel mixer. dont know how its done in ableton, im a fruity guy

@@paperino0 you create a channel and route all your channels to go through that one and record it.

[@paperino0]

@ i mean, the master channel already does that by default so why create a extra channel for it?

[@MrChinner118]

Yes! And the music of course (;

[@zaitesushion]

I totally jizzed my pants when 7 Gavins appeared on the screen @ 5:35

[@lexhitreset]

looking for a large diaphragm condenser. you diggin the 103? it sounds amazing for you... but i think you could sing into two cups with string and itd sound bad ass.... just wanna make sure a $700 neumann isnt a way to sucker the poor people...
