Genuine Tape Stop Effect in Ableton: Bending Pitch and Time (with No VSTs)

Visit seribeats.com for Beats, Project & Production Kits!
---
Hold ALT and drag the line up slightly to add a curve to your envelope (most realistic)!
How to get the winding up or down effect using Ableton's sampler. I personally feel that this way is much better than any plugin because you have so much control over your envelope!
1. Bounce the section of your track to audio.
2. Place it in a sampler and bring volume to 0.
3. Go to "MIDI" tab and change the PB range to 24st.
4. Draw a single note the length of your section.
5. Open your clip's envelope tab and select the pitch bend parameter! Enjoy :)
Tip: You can also automate volume to cut out any artifacts or cut your tape stop off early (especially when your pitching up)

You will be blessed for posting this

[@daveparadice]

Excellent, thanks!! The multiple tape stop suggestion was super cool!!

[@boppin_tic]

Wow...... This is sooo useful! And the tutorial is awesome!!! Thank You Seri!

[@jbeta_]

hey man, ive been using Ableton and self taught for a loooong time. if you want more views, don't take so long to get to the point of what your trying to show your viewers. Ex: First show us what is going to sound like first, so that we know thats the sound we're looking for. it took you waaaay too long to get to the point and show us the effect. I appreciate the knowledge, and im just giving you honest feedback to help you. thanks again, this worked for me.

[@Sataka23clips]

Amen

[@oskar-yk4bi]

thank you so much, i'm not english so it took me so much time to find how to do this effect on yt cause i didn't know the name of it ^^'

[@ttd972]

very cool. It's too bad you can't really do it until you've finished the mixing stage

[@silasxaviertheprod.9734]

dedris you can do it to separate tracks and bus them for later mixing

[@plasticjesse]

Thank you man! Been looking for a way to do this effect with a controller instead of drawing automation

[@TheRxsingProductions]

Or just use the Max Pitch Drop effect if you have Suite but great video.

[@basedvato]

damn man, thanks, made life so much easier

[@axelezequiel97]

Holy fucking ultra shit maaan, thanks!!

[@first___last]

It's easier but it doesn't sound as good.

[@G3438]

dope

[@xWUND3RWAFFL3x]

good shit

[@jorgedelarco8851]

love u so much

[@xavthehero3]

What's the difference between using this method and directly transposing the audio clip? I know you use a simpler and automate the midi clip, but what's the difference?

[@oldtowngp3126]

When I want to record audio on Ableton live, it records for a few seconds and then a suddenly stops. Can somebody tell me why and how I can fix this??

[@willibrix802]

thak you, much appreciated :P i will tell my parents

[@marcellgentles6870]

Willi Brix wait what now?

[@kylerichardson4223]

Is anyone else having a problem like this? I followed his video step by step, but when I add the pitch drop effect it will play that whole bar at a different pitch randomly. Sometimes it works at the original pitch, but when i replay the loop it will pitch the whole loop down completely.

[@NahBoiCentral]

Kyle Richardson same here

[@lilbenkim]

Hello, how can I type a number for pitch automation, it is impossible to return to zero with the mouse thank you (-65, 120, ect....)

[@michaelpayne5272]

Just use the Max for Live pitch drop effect. No re-sampling and more flexibility

[@EelasMusic]

can u tell me how to decrease trackspaces????

[@142999south]

Thank you! @EARGANJA.BEATZ

[@Gzvin]

your a fucking champion thank you :)

[@fukaibeats]

if I resample, it gets quiter, then when I put it in sampler and make a midi note, it gets quiter again :/

[@THEFLIGHTCREW5]

You can automate the pitch of audio clips too using the envelopes

[@sebastianstam1900]

suka yes you can

[@Mr22Rafaello]

Bro, what settings of "Color" do you have in Preferences? ;)

[@thomasm-gilbert3036]

when i do it, the audio of the resampling track always is at a lower volume and i cant seem to find why, i have to manually boost it with audio effects

[@ArendPaulCurrie]

check and make sure the default volume in the sampler isn't set to -12db

[@ArendPaulCurrie]

should be 0

[@FelixDegenaar]

You're clippin

[@MoAbExpert1133]

Question, why do we have to deactivate the tracks? Will they interfere with the audio clip? Is it even necessary? Or just personal preference?

[@annakat03]

not deactivating the tracks would effectively "double" all your tracks because they're all in the new audio clip anyway. I guess you could just delete them and just work with the new audio, but it would be good work process to keep the original tracks just in case you need to edit something in there and re-record them to a new audio file

[@theheadhoochieincharge541]

Is there a way to do this with only "simpler" ??? You can't adjust the pitch bend range like you can with "sampler"

[@ermharriable]

theheadhoochieincharge - yes just automate the pitch bend. The “pitch range” setting he used was for his pitch wheel on his MIDI controller

[@PedroModrego]

how do you make your tracks to be at -6db by default?

[@3abundio]

Right click a track and click “save as default audio/midi track”

[@aezakmi7875]

who know how to do, that the beat ends abruptly while the vocals are still playing in silence

[@thepunisherkz]

why make things more complicate when you can use a grossbeat

[@vayleworld]

yugi boi and dilip tutorial NOW

[@vayleworld]

Also seri ily. Why don't you post your amazing beats from your tutorials?

[@coreymcbride8300]

yessss plz do yugi boi

[@3abundio]

request noted!

[@vayleworld]

Seri, u the goat

[@Wynmann1690]

Dude! can you be more enthusiastic and smiling and energetic when you make videos. That way you'll garner more attention, you'll be happy for the day and we'll be be happy too for the rest of the day! Music should be fun.!

[@ExcutiveSlimDirecto]

We’re did you get that sampler

[@ermharriable]

18 z - it’s a stock plugin that comes with Abelton Live

[@jengofred]

how do you make all tracks automatically at -6?

[@RyanpcHartnett]

Make a new audio track set the volume at -6 and then save that as your deaf auto audio track

[@drewmartinez1040]

Where do u get the sampler from?

[@michaelmantode4985]

Drew Martinez lol bro it's pretty easy

[@drewmartinez1040]

That didnt answer my question

[@michaelmantode4985]

Drew Martinez okay so.. On the left side of the Ableton window you will find a menu like small column. In the menu you will find 'Instruments' written just below 'Drums'. This is what able to offers. Click on the 'Instruments'.. another sub column will appear and you will find the 'Sampler' on the 9th number. Drag and drop it. Done my friend 😀

[@ermharriable]

Michael Mantode - maybe he isn’t using Abelton bro. Anyways, it’s a stock plugin Drew Martinez

[@ScottFarlee]

1.Open an Audio Track 2. Arm for recoring 3.double click (and select) the part where you want to apply effect 4.Select the "little E" then under "clip" set it to "Transposition modulation" 5. Apply effect. Be Happy.

[@3abundio]

Not really a tapestop though. This doesn't stretch time.

[@ScottFarlee]

I just got the same effect whilst still maintaining the timing of the original track

[@3abundio]

its not the same.

[@mikudaprod]

Scott Farlee that's just pitch. tapestop is pitch + tempo

[@bboymac84]

You for got the most important step or it won't work. Set it to complex!!! Why do people keep forgetting this step!!!

[@Kryptdegen]

Where do you find out about all this shit?

[@liamedgley8190]

HEY DUDE CAN YOU PLEASE DO A HOW TO MAKE A SUICIDEBOYS BEAT TUTTORISL PLEASE I AM DESPERATE OH PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE !!!!

[@vayleworld]

no tf, just grab a Memphis sample with the creep kit vol 2 drums. It's easy

[@enshrowd]

$B beats are so generic and horribly mixed. the only semi decent thing is $crim's sampling, but most of the time he just takes a part of a song and that's it.

[@bboymac84]

Make sure to put in complex and not beats!! Why do people forget this key step WTF!!! This had step had me all messed up! Stop leaving out important steps!

[@TimeFlyBy]

Because using plugins that do all this is too easy :)

[@Shapomark]

how to put teeth out from your ass

[@ndjwbarstarsounds7299]

Guys, lose the damn commercials, I won't watch the video because I need to get through almost 3 minutes of BS.
