That's so cool, makes me really happy. :) Have a lot fun in the world of loops! 💛🦋

[@vskorobahatko]

Very informative! Thanks!! It's really easy!)

[@Himmom]

Nice nice considering getting my own midi soon so need to see what am getting into. Tho have a large idea on piano for 4 years trying to opt into edm style

[@eduardoelhage5273]

Very informative video! Congrats. I’m struggling with Ableton and Arturia and this is one of the best tutorials so far that I watched. I have one basic question: what’s the difference in doing as you did and using the Looper? I was trying to use the latter with no success.

[@KnownAsTheInconspicuous]

Thank you so much, it really means something to me! I'm not quite sure what your problem is right now, so sorry. Maybe you can write me an email or a DM on Instagram with more detailed information about your issue. For example it would help to understand what you mean by using the term "looper" since the Ableton software works like a loop station. Looking forward to your message. :)

[@eduardoelhage5273]

@@KnownAsTheInconspicuous “Looper” is an effect on Ableton.

[@erikggggg]

wow man this video is what i had to need after all... :( Thank you :)

[@KnownAsTheInconspicuous]

You're welcome. I'm glad I could help! :)

[@antaljani]

This video was a great help to me, thanks a lot! As a beginner I learned a lot. Awaiting for the next video like this. When it will arrive? Can't wait for that!

[@KnownAsTheInconspicuous]

Awesome, that's great! :) What should the next video be about?

[@antaljani]

@@KnownAsTheInconspicuous As you promised in the first one, how to make track in record mode, how to do the full autmation, etc. I'm interested for also how to find the best instruments for a song you would like to replicat. A would see eve nan hour long video, about a case study. You doing this great and explaining very well! Keep it going! I'm with you.

[@KnownAsTheInconspicuous]

@@antaljani I'm also thinking about livestreams where you can ask specific questions regarding Ableton and MiniLab. :)

[@tessy9672]

Thanks for this but I have a question. When you are making all your loops and the pads turn green, is there any way to turn specific loops off using the mini lab?

[@KnownAsTheInconspicuous]

Hi, you're welcome and thanks for your question. There is a way to do that like you can see in one of my loop covers (e.g. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3O5n6uQea2gaJI ) It's done with midi mapping. I've noted your questions and will try to record a tutorial video this weekend. Have a nice day! 💜

[@andreakrepelka3202]

If I wanted to use a Nord electro keyboard organ instead of minilab, could I use Ableton the same way for recording? Your video was so informative and easy to digest, thank you

[@KnownAsTheInconspicuous]

Hi Andrea, first of all: thanks a lot, I really appreciate your kind words. :) It should work out, I guess. I use an electric piano in combination with Ableton as well. You only need a MIDI signal, either through USB or via a MIDI Out on your keyboard. But I don't know if there is an option to active a loop since your keyboard probably doesn't have built in drum pads that are programmed to work that way with the Ableton DAW...

[@gaboproject3832]

Nos we need to Know how to arm the tracks amazing really KEEP going

[@KnownAsTheInconspicuous]

Thanks a lot, it really means something to me! :) Already working on the next tutorial regarding remote controlling Ableton by using just the keyboard 👀

[@sunnydeyaliofficial]

so is it necessary to use a midi cable from keyboard to sound card ? or a USB cable will work?

[@KnownAsTheInconspicuous]

A USB cable will work but you'll need two of them: one to connect the MiniLab to your computer and another one zo connect the USB audio interface to your computer. Hope this helps dude! :)

[@mahamsmemories]

how would you select which set of keys on the piano that you want to play on your board

[@KnownAsTheInconspicuous]

Hi I'm so sorry but can you explain your question with a few more details. Would help me a lot to understand. Otherwise you can contact me via email or Instagram if you are interested in a video call lesson Thanks 💜

[@nizvanm.m.89]

How can you make the sound in the second turn continue in the bar?, can you help me please?

[@nizvanm.m.89]

How can you ensure that the sound in the second turn can continue in the bar?

[@davieonyourtv703]

how do I see the notes that is being tracked?

[@Illumena]

Hey I have ableton 12 and when I record lets say a hat loop and I press the pad for ending the loop it ends after 1 bar I have no idea why. Do you have any idea what it could be? :D

[@KnownAsTheInconspicuous]

Hi dude, when should the loop end instead?

[@Illumena]

@@KnownAsTheInconspicuous I was a lil dumb I got it now :D

[@KazuyaST]

Can you arm the track using the minilab itself?

[@KnownAsTheInconspicuous]

Yes it's possible. Which Minilab do you use?

[@KazuyaST]

@@KnownAsTheInconspicuous minilab 3

[@KnownAsTheInconspicuous]

@@KazuyaST Well, you have to press shift and turn the black know simultaneously. Look on your monitor . If you've selected the track of your choice, press the black knob once and the track is armed! :)

[@korhunov]

@@KnownAsTheInconspicuous and what about minilab 2?

[@KnownAsTheInconspicuous]

@@korhunov It's a little bit more complex with the MiniLab 2. You have to assign one of the eight pads (with its midi note) to the arm button in Ableton. A video tutorial is planned, right now the needed time is missing to record it...

[@robzabel]

Unfortunately, from the 6th minute there is a big jump because something is missing along the way. I guess we still need to arm these pads. For me, when I press pad 1/9 (1 Analog Lab), the piano key still activates instead of recording.

[@KnownAsTheInconspicuous]

Hi dude, I get what you mean. Maybe you've watched one of my loop covers and in those I arm the tracks only by using the MiniLab. But I thought it would be too much to put everything in this video, so I'll explain the arm functionalities with the keyboard in another video soon. Anyway, you can already live loop tho, since you are able to arm the track with your computer mouse as shown in the video. If the track is armed the matching pad will be activated as well. Just press it after arming with your mouse! :) In your case it means that you have to arm the second track manually with the mouse. Let me know if it works, and stay tuned for the next tutorial video. 🫣

[@korhunov]

@@KnownAsTheInconspicuous it was 5 months ago! Dude? when you'll finish your video? we need it!

[@sidsarkar1]

How to assign keypad for start stop loop?

[@sidsarkar1]

I am using Akai mpk mini2

[@KnownAsTheInconspicuous]

I can only help with MiniLab, sorry...

[@JoelLinus]

When I press shift plus pad 8 I just press the Tap button.

[@KnownAsTheInconspicuous]

Do you own a MiniLab MK2 or 3?

[@JoelLinus]

@@KnownAsTheInconspicuous 3

[@KnownAsTheInconspicuous]

@@JoelLinus Well then it won't work. You have to press shift + third pad (prog). Press it til "daw" appears.

[@JoelLinus]

@@KnownAsTheInconspicuous I know that, but why doesn't it work on the MK3? I think I've seen it being done with the MK3.

[@KnownAsTheInconspicuous]

@@JoelLinus because it works differently. The MiniLab 3 is quite smarter and can detect Ableton on its own and if not there is the workaround I mentioned :)

[@nizvanm.m.89]

How can you make the sound in the second turn (drums) continue in the bar and don't cut off the sound?, can you help me please?

[@KnownAsTheInconspicuous]

Hi, I'm not quite sure what the issue is about. Can you tell me more about it in your case?
