Making A Full Beat in 10 Minutes With Ableton Move (Creative Sampling and Resampling)

In this video, I produce a complete beat using only Ableton Move. Everything you hear was created from scratch within Move-no external production or mixing done in Ableton Live.
What You’ll Hear:
Bass - Created by recording my voice through Move’s internal mic.
Chords - Sampled from an old, out-of-tune piano using the built-in mic.
Drums - A preset made in Ableton Live, exported, and loaded into Move.
With Move’s 4-track limitation, I used creative resampling techniques to build out the beat and make it feel complete. This video is for anyone interested in pushing the limits of Ableton Move, exploring sound design on the go, or finding new workflows within Ableton's ecosystem.
Let me know what you think of this workflow, and don’t forget to subscribe if you want to see more videos with Move!

Love this beat so much and great explanation. Not overly techy, just matter of fact. This vid made me order a Move. More beat vids on Move please J! ❤

[@obiedecker4038]

Brillant. Just casually showing that there is no reason at all not to make perfect individual songs with this device of „only four tracks“.

Yes! Sale will be announced soon 🙏🏻

[@joshua_donald]

If you already have the push 3 do you think copin the move is worth it? Can't tell if I'm suffering from gear acquisition syndrome lol or if this might actually be a dope addition

[@jxmieblake]

I think it depends on your expectations. To me, Move is fantastic for creativity and immediacy. The creative process is different on Move compared to Push or Live.

[@jxmieblake]

[@calixtetayoro5719]

@ My pleasure! You packed so much knowledge in this video, just enjoying the content does not do it service. As I often tell my student: pratice what he’s showing and you’ll make real progress. Question: I don’t have a Move yet, but I do own a Push 3 standalone. I guess I can do a large amount of what you show here on my Push. But which part of the video do you think is IMPOSSIBLE to replicate on a Push 3 SA?

[@jxmieblake]

First thing that comes to mind is the built-in mic + sampling/resampling workflow. It’s unique to move and can’t be replicated exactly the same way on push.

[@calixtetayoro5719]

@ Yes, it’s Move’s secret weapon on its BIG brother Push. Your bass trick is sooo cool.

[@ckrug32]

Amazing demonstration of how to "push" the limits on Move! -- For that last melody track, did you combine that with another track? You've got chords, drums + accent, bass, and arp -- which makes four tracks, and then the melody which makes five. Sorry if I'm missing something!

[@boxprogramming13]

You can have multiple samples playing inside one track, which is what he's doing. So if you're using sampling or resampling, it's effectively 4 x 16 tracks

[@jxmieblake]

The way I see it, this has 6 tracks worth of sounds. Drums, bass, filtered warm piano, lead melody, arp and bright piano. The arp and bright piano were resampled together, but they started as two distinct tracks.

[@Artek604]

This was awesome, but this exactly shows a dilemma I have: there's not much more you can do with this on Move, so it will never turn in a real track there; and when moved to Live it will also have a lots of stuff already baked in resampled audio and drum rack(s) with practically uneditable MPE Pitchbend modulation, so you can't or won't edit that either. There needs to be a way to have a track preset & its clips stored in the project Set, disabled & invisible on the Move but available from the level of Live project when exported, so we could comfortably resample stuff without fear of losing the source "data".

[@jxmieblake]

You can duplicate the set before resampling to preserve the source material.

[@Artek604]

@@jxmieblake Yes, I know but I'll need all those sets when I want to retrieve the MIDI & devices in Live, but Ableton Cloud allows for up to 8 sets. It requires a lot of effort, planning & discipline :)

(Sure wish I could just sing an Audio Track along with a song I was making! Can do with Push 3)
