Looping With Ableton Tutorial (Vocal looping, FX)

[@kaserfelix1095]

Of all the Ableton Live tutorials I've seen, yours is by far the most clear and concise! Straight to the point with a real example of things you can do with it at the end! Thanks for taking the time to enlighten us!

[@AnonymousAnimal2]

Wow, since posting we have received nothing but kind words on this video! We're so glad it was useful at all. Cheers!

[@sifo4639]

Yeah dude, for some reason I only noticed Looper recently, and this is pretty much the ideal tutorial for it - straightforward, super clear and efficient, and the music you make to demonstrate is pretty effortlessly dope, which is inspiring. Good job!

[@ageshero]

You are a beautiful group of humans

[@aLoudSi1ence]

Because it is simple and concise.

[@ageshero]

Dam bruh, where has this tutorial been all my life.

[@patrickdunstan4216]

Dude, the best and simplest video I've found on using looper

[@j.herbertschweitzer9806]

Brilliant. I picked up a Launchpad Pro for my son who is 11-years old. I am an analog musician and this makes us excited because we can literally start writing together even though my son is not an analog musician. We are very excited because of your short video, so thank you!!

[@theOAB1]

[@CS5INC.]

Thanks man!

great video!!!you save me!

[@ginacat7815]

thank you really helped!!!

[@radulica]

Hey man! Great video. I've got a question: you mapped 5 controls for that particular channel. Is there a way to map the same 5 buttons to work for other tracks, depending on the selection? So for example when I select a different track, the same 5 work for the looper on the selected track? I found this annoying because mapping those buttons only works for the particular looper you map them to. I'd love some info on this.

[@brettmonahan9822]

super helpful. thanks man

[@meetbediproductions6962]

You're wonderful

[@dadoe]

Nice singing

[@MikeDeanOfficials]

Nice thanks

[@liamhowl8371]

Hi Anonymous Animal 2. I have seen few videos and i think you are doing a great job, so just carry on like that. I bought an Akai LPD8 and LPK25 but still struggling with looping/mapping as i am not too knowledge about that. Could you tell me if i can record loops with FL Studio as well? I mean as you did in this video: recording sample by sample to be looping all the time and then i can add more things to that loop.

[@AnjEnriquez]

Thank you. :)

[@LillianFrances]

Great lil' tutorial, thank you! I'm wondering... sometimes I loop vocals but then I want to change the bpm... but the that alters the pitch of the looped vocals. Is there a way to keep the vocals from changing in pitch once they're looping and I alter the BPM? Thanks!

[@VictorSteiner]

Sorry for the basic question, but how do you keep Ableton from overwriting your first singing when you start the 2nd recording?

[@dreddiknight]

Dude! That was great! Thanks for sharing your ideas; reckon I'll be stealing this for some of my scratches... Which, if you ever need, just hit me up :-)

[@peysal4554]

Nice! Is there any way to load a new project in ableton via midi controller?

[@nikkodeloyola2308]

Hi sir! :) I have Ableton Live 9 where can I find the looper plug in? I think I can't find it on my installed software. if i should download the plug in. Can I ask where to find the plug in? thank you!

[@jasperjaspr]

HI, thank you for your tutorial, it was really helpful ! I'm a singer and keyboardist. I wanted to know how to seperate functions you assign to lpd8 pads from another midi keyboard on Ableton when playing live ? Some keys might trigger "recording" while I play melodies, or unrequested samples, because one of the pad is assigned to C3 for exemple. Thank you in advance !

[@sunblooom]

Hey man, this is actually easier than you might think. In the session view, under input, just change the midi input to "LPD8" and for your other instruments, change it to whatever your keyboard is. Hope this helps!

[@mmarnier]

Hey, thanks for sharing. I'd like to mix voice loops and samples. How do you link the mic, the sampler machine, and the computer together ? Thanks !

[@erikkarlsson3008]

awesome :)

[@dinfluence30]

Thanks so much...

[@emmanouilmitsopoulos7313]

great video just a question how can i record a session loop?When i have already record loops i go to to the mix view of ableton and the playback gives me only separate loops of my voice. It doesn't playback the layers of loops.I here the loops separate. I have to launch the looper in order to here my loop. BASICALLY WHAT I WANT TO SAY IS THAT In the mix view the looper session is not recorded.

[@fedejkjsjg]

Top

[@Skandawin78]

you didn't show us the session view screen. did you directly record into the looper or you recorded both in the clip and the looper. when I record in the clip and the looper it becomes so loud as it play both the clip and the looper audio. sure I'm missing some thing here and not using the looper the way it intended to be. pls help..

[@MalloryKnoxKreuzberg]

oo thanks a lot :)

[@thisguy7126]

May I ask what headphones you use? I'm using crappy headphones at the moment. And maybe what mic you use? is that one pretty nice?

[@PepitoLC]

Thanks for the vid. I can't seem to figure out how you have this routed in Ableton? Where is the actual LOOPER? Is it in an audio track a midi track or a return track??? Is it subjected to the songs linear form when you loop or is it independent of that? Please help. Thank you!

[@qwe1231]

Pretty cool. LPD8 has such bad pads for drumming I didn't consider using it for anything before this....

[@samaelaponte247]

Hi thanx for the tutorial, but i have a question i need to do this with a guitar and in diferent chanels can you explain me?

[@cheecha3]

@anonymous animal 2 I've tryed it in live performance and i can't figure out why does the mic signal go down when i overdub few times? Do you know? Nice tutorial Btw :D

[@JanVoo]

Maybe a noob question, but why do you use an Novation Launchpad together with the Akai MPD-8? Could you not just map the record/play/etc. buttons to the launchpad?

[@iiiphelup]

is this toro y moi's brother or something, you've got the best vibe

[@Kryptdegen]

at the beggining to the vocals were you eqing or filtering? what was that exactly since i couldnt see it (around 1:58). Also what synth/FX are you using?

[@gianar2355]

Hi!!, what is your Hardware please!!

[@annakritikou1483]

Silly newby question.. where do you connect the mic? Is it straight to your laptop?

[@RodaRora]

Hi,I've got a little question about this tutorial! Is it possible to use the laptops' keyboard instead of a midi controller? I'm very interested in live looping but -probably just as most of other collage students- I don't really have a big budget (especially after spending all my savings on a new mic

[@AnonymousAnimal2]

+Rinkaia I don't think you can map your keyboard for looping. If you don't need to loop to something with a steady BPM i would recommend a loop pedal. Some are very cheap and allow you a lot of freedom. It really depends on how you would want to loop.

[@InTheMusicBox]

+Rinkaia I do not think that you need to map anything in order to use Ableton... you just use your mouse or mousepad and click on buttons and faders.... That being said, having a midi controller makes sense as the process becomes a lot faster and easier than navigating your mouse and clicking. Get a novation launchpad mini, it would be about 100$ I think....Also on the bonus side, if you buy any novation hardware, you do get an intro version of Ableton live (with limited abilities that is). He even has the Launchpad mini but he does not use it in this video, so I really do not get why he does not suggest you getting a launchpad instead of a looping pedal. A loop pedal that was suggested is a lot more expensive than a novation launchpad mini. You can find cheap midi controllers, and if you are at uni, if you know someone that studies music, you can probably rent a midi keyboard or something for a set period of time. I used to rend a midi keyboard from uni when I was a student....

[@AnonymousAnimal2]

This is all correct. I have the launchpad mini set to launch backing tracks that I sing or play to. The LPD8 only has a few knobs and buttons which makes for less mapping. The knobs are also great to control parameters like volume, reverb, etc. You Can absolutely map the Launchpad Mini to a looper, but it's just a lot of buttons that end up not being used. That said, they are very affordable. Both the LPD8 and the Launchpad Mini are well under $100 and are super fun and customizable. Highly recommended. There are also some great midi controllers for under a $100 that have buttons, faders, and knobs. the possibilities are endless. There's so many ways to do the same thing. It's all preference and what fits best into your style and budget. Thanks for the great feedback! Cheers!

[@MARTINORMANCV]

Go to a charity shop and buy a used guitar midi pedal. Many have 8 pads and you can then use it hands free as your feet can do the triggering. I found an old one in my attic from the 80's and bought a midi to USB cable for $3 from China.

[@gracecianna]

can it work on any drum pad? I recently purchased a midi keyboard that comes with a drumpad.

[@AnonymousAnimal2]

You should be able to assign any midi controller with this functionality.

[@LaviniaLittleMonster]

Will this work with korg nanopad 2 as well?

[@sithsquid1]

it will work on any midi/ps2 connection/device so i guess it will

[@ilovenickmonaco]

how do you deal with feedback when you're playing live with loud monitors?

[@AnonymousAnimal2]

+Nick Monaco Keep the mic pointed away from the monitors and maybe get a mic with on on/off switch. Its a tough balance between getting a good level and hitting that feedback volume. Monitors are tough, but maybe try using headphones some of the time until you find a good solution.

[@Music_chetan]

Can i play loop in this pads??
