How to Turn a Loop into a Song and Surprise Yourself! Ableton Live Tutorial

In this Ableton Live Tutorial I want to share a fun and surprising approach with you on how to turn a loop into a song. I'm using Ableton Live, but you can use any other DAW as well. It might be a little more work than just dragging loops around, but it is inspiring and informative, and your future compositions might benefit from it as well.

Thanks for watching! Be warmly invited to share songs that you find particularly interesting in terms of the arrangement! Be known that I'm moving away from Skillshare, you can find my classes here now: bit.ly/419IDQG

I love the advice you give to listen to the music less. After coming up with a moment of music (a loop), stop listening, arrange and be a surprised listener, then edit. Very level headed and professional approach, thanks for sharing!

[@JannisLeWolff]

Thank you, really glad you liked it! It indeed might sound counter-intuitive to listen less, but I believe that this way you're so much more conscious and sensitive about what's happening!

[@erwinbroere796]

This so helpfull... i will try it right now. thanks dude

[@JannisLeWolff]

Really glad to hear 💚

[@Hilton962]

This is actually so simple but effective. I normally listen to songs and make notes so adding this technique I can now see what my notes mean instead of trying to decipher them. LOVE IT

[@JannisLeWolff]

So glad to hear, thank you 💚

[@bizerkstylesnosmiths9969]

Came for Ableton and u use a piece of paper!😮

[@moadot720]

2:12 Don't let copyright define you, ESPECIALLY if following its crazy guidelines means playing a song that you don't like as much! People need to ALWAYS get what they want! (In the case that multiple people want conflicting things, I have a way to solve that, but I won't get into it, here.)

[@gaborb6577]

Thanks for the content. This song in not my kind

[@JannisLeWolff]

Well, with those types of videos it's more important to like the concept than the music 😊 And usually I would do this approach with a song I really like- I just didn't do it here to avoid copyright claims.

[@KOSMIKFEADRECORDS]

Original vids..

[@JannisLeWolff]

Thanks!

[@KOSMIKFEADRECORDS]

I "interpretate" this channel as one of the best for professionals.. that need a re-education.

[@JannisLeWolff]

Haha, interesting description 🤔
