Made in Ableton Live: Afriqua on recording and editing MIDI, arranging with scenes and more

[@afriqua]

Thanks for having me y’all! ✌🏽❤️

[@RajanMoliya]

Nice Shirt 👕

[@СтаниславР-в7и]

Thanks to the entire Ableton team and the artists they bring in for the love and work they put into their DAW to inspire users. "Made in Ableton" is one of my favorites. A fresh breath of air in the world of production.

[@Allan-et5ig]

Your first statement was the most worthwhile: Ableton can't give you a great idea. Or even a good one. Enjoyed it, thanks.

[@eph_kni]

i seriously enjoyed the cleverness in approach in this episode. There's so many different ways to do the similar things in ableton, each with their own pros and cons. Personally, removing the stop buttons was simple and enlightening

[@Crazy-Society]

The best Ableton tutorial I ve seen. Learned so much!

[@ranhollander8468]

Mohamed Salah got nice Ableton skills

[@oakandiron_]

Haha!! 😂😂😂

[@freinachliebe2740]

#freinachliebe meets ableton

[@CharlesLouisRosario]

The Bob Ross of the production world. Loved it.

[@james.hannan]

Well done Ableton for getting Afriqua on this. Top top producer.

[@jerzboybeats]

Wow this was awesome and I really need to learn how to do the takes and comping. That’s a big plus ‼️‼️

[@teshbrady]

Wow this is 100% my perfect way of using Ableton and I didn't even know it. Thank you!!

[@Bashanvibe]

Never saw Abelton used like this as far as creating a melodic vibe using real chord progressions played by musicians!!!

[@GuidoGautsch]

Comping is great for musicians. Always the feature I missed most coming from Logic

[@robertgarvansnyder4665]

Such a helpful explanation of Legato mode, I legit never knew how to do that.

[@GuidoGautsch]

Ok, that was awesome! More of this, please, Ableton! Building tracks from scratch in Session view is amazing but also tricky. This was super helpful.

[@polarnj]

Omg! Notice that poster of black m white sketches strange life forms in the background?? It’s by Ernst Haeckel….and I’m OBSESSED with his artwork of microorganisms and have the images all over my gear lol. I learned that he sketched them all while looking through an old school microscope in the 1800’s since no one had ever seen them before so he had nothing to go by but actual specimens. Aside from the beautiful symmetry and otherworldly weirdness of the things he was drawing, I’m so inspired by the commitment to discovering such difficult things to handle or even find, and then using his talents from studying art to painstakingly make it possible for the rest of the world to see them. I know it’s stupid off topic, but I can’t inspire anyone better in a comment than the video itself so I figured that little factoid was worth sharing since I got a but excited when I saw an amazing musician also had Haeckel’s drawings hung up as artwork.

[@jreber]

Groovy jam and some excellent tips. Thanks!

[@kenmcmints2241]

One of the coolest people on the planet, this was super informative

[@toucanairlines]

He is great, great lesson and great artistry

[@toucanairlines]

"and we groovin'" .. :DDD

[@mistrustmusic]

Great video! I started off building tracks in session view like this when I first got into Ableton but stopped doing it because it just felt like painting by numbers or arranging post-it notes! Your method seems a bit more vibey so might try it again. Thanks.

[@in.miscare]

Amazing production workmanship and skills. Big ups for the whole crew ✌🏽

[@bertiebigbass4607]

Excellent video, great discussion of process, especially like the idea of arranging in session view. I would say though that Live is also great for generating ideas when you don’t have one

[@change49]

Very Insightful, practical...and talented! thank you

[@nicerperson1]

Really great vibe, it was all over my head though, I think I will go away for five years and study Ableton then come back, see if I understand it then! really cool.

[@reaktiv1408]

Great talent! Ableton gives its full power when used like this... Wish I could play that well! Please invite some more amazing musicians in these interesting video Serie

[@edwinbrown9951]

Thank you! (Hampton Roads native as well)

[@distillednoise]

what a genius!

[@Allan-et5ig]

Capture mode makes up for Ableton being years late with comping. Capture mode as some dude in Sound on Sound said, is a genius idea, literally one that every musician who forgets things, can use. It's interesting, also, not all the ideas you thought "were great" but forgot, really were great - many sucked. But some are gems that without capture, you'd lose. **I guess guys like Bach never lost ideas; I mean for us mortals, lol.

[@lelandchapman1]

excellent video

[@chillelectronic2953]

thats funky!!!!

[@Thepathtoprofits]

Dope content ! Definitely learned a thing or 2 . Will be trying out that midi capture function ASAP!

[@crankyhippo94]

nice workflow!

[@pearcaravel]

I, too, am on some 1992 Fresh Prince of Bel-Air commercial break vibes

[@DarrenHale]

Nice job! 😎🤘

[@selahtube9432]

I have to try this DAW thanks

[@waziammm]

Thanks Jean Ralphio, and nice beard!

[@ProEditingLooks]

This is fun lovely I will make a tutorial like this thanks

[@samprock]

Comping is cool! I enjoy doing it even if have much lesser notes :)

[@jdtorian]

This guy is great!

Love the talk and want the shirt.

[@MolocoMusik]

Gold!

[@generalursus556]

u know what's up!

[@DentalDesigner_MaximKrykov]

Классная рубашка! Где такую купить?

[@amaxlevin]

Master Classy.

[@mynmyself]

I feel that actually Ableton has enough generative and algorithmic music generators that can actually give an initial idea that can be edited and work on

[@warrenmusic]

He was speaking in hyperbole. Maybe closer to the truth is that you need the ears to recognize the idea, whether that’s before opening Live or generating in Live.

[@DRMegaone]

My man look lit tho

[@choykid632]

Anyone know which nate smith sample pack this is? Samples are tight!!

[@hansjckerkhoff]

Thanks for your video. Question: Is it in Ableton Live 11?

[@GuidoGautsch]

Yes, comping is a feature introduced in Live 11

[@ohstirfry]

I can’t focus cause that shirt is to distracting

[@JCDKEYS]

👍🏼

[@BullHorn7]

This was a really cool video but as a relative beginner to Ableton, I didn't understand how he did at least half of the things that he did.

[@Oenilloc]

✨👑👌

[@atilasanttana]

🙌🏾❤️🎶✨✨✨

[@christdolphin69]

[@chefnil]

[@nicolabertoli5904]

Sounds a bit like Luke Vibert acid tracks

[@christdolphin69]

[@seiiizicymphonic859]

this all took like 5 min ? lol

[@samowensdrums]

Welcome to the new world of “producing.” This sounds like I’m about to hear the weather forecast.

[@NailFactoryProds]

Well. He's annoying.
