One simple mod - on the looper device, click the "reverse" button. ;)
@jmcqmusic Жыл бұрын
That's a good one, I was experimenting with that but couldn't figure out a way to randomize it. Now I'm using the Splendosa plugin in the high voice as it's got a reverse option that can be turned on or off at the clip envelope level. A little reverse goes a long way. Also trying a Harmonic minor scale in the high voice. Next thing is creating a 'sparse' scene and a 'dense' scene that can be launched for a buildup or for the intro or outro. @@synthseeker

Thanks again for that nice and helpful lecture! I had an issue with my freshly bought live 11 intro version, apparently the glue compressor is not part of the packet. There is most probable a far better way to address that problem, but I just deleted the xml-block mentioning the compressor from the als-file, then ableton stopped complaining.

Hi Luke, will this work on Live Lite? Just beginning to learn Ableton after many years of Audacity.
@synthseeker7 ай бұрын
I'm not sure about "lite" - there are three official tiers of live (intro, standard and suite) and the "lite" edition is a weird offshoot that comes included with a lot of hardware partners. The comparison between the three tiers (found here: www.ableton.com/en/live/compare-editions/) DOES say that all editions have the looper device (which you need for this technique)...but I'm not sure about "lite". You'll need to check the manual for two things: follow actions and the looper device. :)

I think you should definitely consider using a form of this to create a project track, that you could then tweak the final music into an additional track for the new album Luke. With enough change and variety it would be an awesome long ambient moment. I could imagine it as a final track to play-out the album... :) As a fellow geek, can Ableton also have a series of clips that only contain different speech samples - and trigger them in a similar way?

How does the LOOPER ignore the Random device?
@synthseeker10 ай бұрын
The row of devices is like a pipeline, because the looper comes after the random device, during recording it records randomized output, but on playback - because the looper is downstream - it just plays back what it recorded, unaffected by the random. :) If you use live 11, you can download and take apart the set (link in the description.)

Great video. Dabbled with random/generative stuff over the years in Ableton and always been disappointed that stuff ends up not being 'hooky' enough and sort of giving up, It never occurred to me to use Looper like that to fix that problem. Genius.
