Legit Tape Stop In Ableton

In this video I describe how to achieve a REAL tape stop effect in Ableton Live, without time-stretching! Slow down & pitch down your audio at the same time.

Short version: Consolidate audio, load it into sampler and automate the pitch bend. Great technique! Thanks!

[@filippetrucha5422]

This is what i needed. No stupid third party plugins that works random way. Thank you very much.

[@M3DuaTP]

Man, i have watched a part of your videos and I very impressed. You makes this interesting effect very simple and everyone can easy understand your tricks!

[@asleep909]

You have just helped me learn something today! And you helped me with work I'm doing for a client. You sir, rock extra hard! Cheers!

[@lilsushivert5265]

While holding down the Alt key and right clicking an automation point, you can make an automation line curve. Hope that helped !

[@tommyrold355]

he's in ableton 8

[@ismellleaksmoke]

Your tutorials are perfect, so well spoken. Thanks!

[@EffectOneProductions]

I would like to thank u for that little tutorial, i've been looking for that since months.

[@cromatik2364]

Brilliant, thanks for the tips! Learned a couple of new tricks as well as what I came for. Subscribed and liked.

[@jeisemachinery]

i ve been looking for this effect such a long time!!!!!thanks bro!you rock!!!!!

[@JJWeinbergPerspective]

Genius and straight forward as a mutha! Using it in a new track for a vocal - Thanks a million!

[@DJPhaze001]

that is one hell of an awesome tune.. awesome sounds in the drum line bro

[@idanmorim1946]

your'e a genius dude the video is so clear and instructive. Thank you so much !

[@drumdude9403]

thanks for this! but I also found that when i'm doing this, I like to hit a C1 instead and then pitch down from +24 down to -24. that way you get a full 48 semitones for the pitch. thanks again!

[@Kennyjamesss]

this helped me with my tape stop dilemma! thank you very much!

[@n0stix]

awesome walkthrough, my man. i tried many different ways to achieve this effect before deciding to google it, and after watching this, it was a "duh!" moment! the way I had to do it though was bounce several different tracks to audio before getting this to work. I think a lot of people will get hung up on this extra step that undoubtedly many people will have to do. Also, this effect sounds fantastic in your track! thanks again!

[@tubeaccountify]

Thanx! Good to see a good tutorial with a good music!

[@allancerf9038]

thanks for this. btw, nice piece of music you've got there.

[@NU0N]

dude i love you. this is awesome.

[@DJZoundsOfficial]

thanks dude nice tip and simply explanation

[@nicknordstrom7509]

damn. really good tutorial. I didn't know you could change up the sample in sampler and them simply re-drag it up to the audio. . .crazy!

[@voicedrifter]

There are a couple ways to do this, but the easiest it just to render the track. Highlight a selection in the arrangement, and select it under the File menu. CTRL/CMD - R works too. Another option is to set up a new audio track, and in the track I/O section set your input to "Resample" which will record the output of the master track. This way is more convenient for on the fly recording for the purpose of adding effects in this manner.

[@ScottEddy]

The 'pitch bend range' piece was clutch

[@bdruckus]

Thanks so much for this! nice track btw

[@jadeyourself]

Great Video ! Thanks a lot Ryan

[@joomlaserviceprovide]

super helpful vid. Thanks!!!

Perfect! thank you!

[@warrenstroud7074]

Thanks dude

[@its27th]

great! well explained

[@CiaranBray]

nicely done! Cheers!

[@voicedrifter]

It has, and I can tell you it is fantastic ;)

[@LuisCasstle]

Thanks for this bro! Used to use Db Tapestop but it doesn't work on AL9. Still looking for a plug-in to save a little time but this technique doesn't take much.

[@ClintVanS]

you're the man.

[@RAINONDABEAT]

cool vid man thanks!

[@presseino]

great video!!!!!

[@stevecaston]

Nice! Going to have to play around with this... my mind just expaaaaaaanded! :P

[@randyrapes]

Awesome thank you

[@Ignight]

Thank you!

[@computergeekcruz]

Wow, this is awesome! thanks man! also whats the name of the song? I like it

[@voicedrifter]

@technogiapada it is likely that you are taking a warped clip and dropping it into the sampler. this will result in the sampler playing back the original unwarped clip at the original pitch. to solve this, simply consolidate your clip before putting it into the sampler. this can be done by selecting the clip, right clicking and choosing "Consolidate", or pressing cntr/cmd - J. this will write a new unwarped audio file with any changes you maybe by warping the first time around.

[@xirusofficial]

Thanks man now i can make sounds like the Glitch plugin makes but for free ;3

[@tomdwij]

nice track mate

[@roeizilber]

nice track btw!

[@OfficialRaZore]

Thanks for this :D

[@iDeviceTweakzz]

Thank You! :D

[@DJJUICERMX]

great stuff......

[@voicedrifter]

There's definitely something to be said for the warmth and unpredictability those devices added to music back in the day. I don't have an old reel-to-reel to play with which is why I come up with these techniques, but if I did I'd sure be cracking it out! Thanks for watching!

[@COZMICCAT]

awesome!

[@voicedrifter]

@IAMALABASTER sorry for the delayed response. unfortunately you can't make the pitch bend go further using simpler, but if you check kvr or something just find a free sampler vst that gives you a greater pitch bend. that or buy ableton's sampler, definitely worth it!

[@rameron9]

OH Thanx!!! incredible... simple... cool

[@voicedrifter]

you are now my new best friend.

[@Techdrome]

MAn thank you so much!!!

[@LyodSounds]

thanks so much :)

[@Goldee420]

thank you much for the brain expansion

[@MrPapito101]

THANKS!!!!!!!!

[@SirUncleCid]

LEGITTTTTT BROOOO

[@ZRock7771]

i love that beat will u release it?

[@voicedrifter]

@Painkillazzz ya i've heard of that. unfortunately there's no option for mac :( it's always nice to do things by hand though, opens up a lot more options.

[@toneklang]

what's the difference between using the audio clips own transposition envelope, compared to using it in a sampler?

[@kstyle12]

Hey thanks man !! help a lot !! but i thinking in buy the fingers by native instruments.... ;D

[@craigbrown3137]

thanks

[@thenayancat8802]

Nice clipping brah

[@manifatzigula]

fucking amazing. cheers mate

[@voicedrifter]

The reason I used audio imported into Live's Sampler was because doing it that way will get the effect of slowing down the audio while pitching it down as well. This is how a vinyl turntable would work. Doing it in midi with a synth plugin loaded up would continue to play your midi pattern at the same speed while bending the pitch down. These are two different effects and each have their different uses. It's up to you!

[@ELCONDUCTOR]

Thanks for the vid! I have the same question as IAMALABASTER. Help?

[@Variable1000]

thx

[@arfuswrinkledinks]

thats a cool song

[@jlyne6625]

ableton does support automation curves just make a start and end point then hold down option on the automation line and a little curve will appear next to your cursor, then just drag to your liking

[@lennybeatz]

+Lyne Beats just wanted to point out the same... took me like 3 years to find out about it :D

[@TheLevidance]

+lennybeatz I was lucky, found out in like the first tutorial I ever watched hahah xD

[@TheBunnycult]

+Lyne Beats At the time of this video Ableton did not support curved automation. it's actually a recent update in 9.2, I think. I remember freaking the fuck out about it when I found out they were implementing it.

[@quinntoncarter202]

+Lyne Beats shit i been using ableton for almost 3 years and i didn't know this -_- fuk need to rtfm lol

[@DJLTSHVSX]

What's your soundcloud? Love this song

[@voicedrifter]

Technically you could just set the sample to Repitch warp mode and you wouldn't even have to automate the transpose, just the tempo. The only issue is that you would drop the beat by changing the tempo, we want the sound effect but we don't want to screw up other rhythmic elements in the piece.

[@Sugarsurge7]

Nice. QUESTION: so if your looking to do the same effect on synth your working, do you just draw a pitch-bend on your initial MIDI file ? Or is it better to record in audio first ?

[@thisisdandroid]

This is awesome dude but is there any way that I could do this WITHIN a full project instead of exporting a project to a .wav file and doing it without any control over all my other parameters?

[@townsenddurrant7401]

i really wanna know how you did all those glitch sounds have you got a video on that!! if so whats the link:

[@miked7797]

@Liam Beresford amen

[@TheEVANWORKS]

your track has some nice low end kick... I was wondering how you get that sound, idk if its a sample you payed for Im just curious?...

[@Sugarsurge7]

Interesting point. So a midi note in the Sampler is actually an audio file playing. right ? thnx

[@voicedrifter]

I think you took his comment the wrong way, Liam Beresford posts some of the most positive comments ever! On the other hand I do agree with you in other scenarios, but not here man!

[@mbot48]

This is easier in logic, is there a faster way in ableton 9?

[@DamnItsRussian]

@ryandmca How did you turned your track into a wav file? ive been struggling with this for quite a while and i really need someone to tell me :(

[@cerspence]

Anyway to do this while DJ'ing in ableton?

[@voicedrifter]

Hmmm, this technique won't work in real-time. But it's 2018, we put a Tesla in space... I'm sure there's plugins that do this now.

[@mintpaintome]

@mAssholio88 CMD+E actually saves the original. If he used CMD+E it would put the whole song in the sampler instead of only the one bar that he wanted to tapestop! :3

[@squidink58]

When I select the pitch bend range to be +24 the entire clip gets pitched down for some reason, even before I open the pitch bend in the envelope. Any ideas?

[@williessandwhich9725]

You sir are a musical genius

[@spicer41282]

Nice! Thank you...! been looking for this for a while...(Sub'd) :-)

[@voicedrifter]

You bet!

[@seangdot]

✊🏾

[@MrArtistick]

Man i hate how nothign ever works correct for me... mine just makes a buzzing sound and thats it.... followed you step by step. at least i believe so

[@treysix5065]

im doing this step by step but the volume is always off even when i set it to 0 on the sampler, im not new on ableton and ive been trying to trouble shoot it but cant seem to figure out why the volume is off in the sampler every time.

[@upsiderown]

"It;s a shame Ableton doesn't support automation curves. I'm hoping that will show up in Live 9." Good call.

[@technogiapada]

it works on you perfectly. but when i try it, the pitch is going back to the normal speed of the loop. am i doing something wrong?

[@bigdap100]

...cool

[@mobsplif]

what about using glide?
