Made in Ableton Live: Freddie Joachim on chopping samples, beatmaking and more

[@Funky.Monkey]

Freddie Joachim is truly the Bob Ross of lo-fi beatmaking. His voice is so soothing his explanation being crisp and clear.

[@darrelloike]

You need an Afro to be the bob ross of anything

[@TheSoulPapi]

@@darrelloike To quote the classic movie "Dumb and Dumber".... so you're saying there's a chance?! lol

[@forwardmoving8252]

Most of his stuff is not lofi

[@claytonbarnette]

One of the best Ableton videos on beat making, and chopping.

[@ddominomusic]

just straight forward and effective, hes easy to listen to also

[@lihaoedian8007]

When i started learning ableton I was worried about tutorials, cause there were so many FL guys on KZbin, but with these Series, Ableton keep it up and we want more. 🙌🏻

[@73trout]

This is one of the most helpful videos you guys have done yet. Ableton, if you're listening, thank you. And: more Freddie. This dude is great.

[@Synik]

Been a fan for ages and Freddie is definitely one of my inspirations, really great to see how the magic is made!

[@frodarola]

Freddie! Wow i love this dudes music

[@Antonio_Ortiz]

Learned more from this than from the dozens of other tutorials I've watched.

[@honigtamara]

Crystal clear tutorial. I hadn't heard of Freddie Joachim but will surely be back. Thanks

[@rain-zo7wn]

this is the best sample based beat tutorial ever made for Ableton Live 10

[@weepwow]

Maybe the Best in-depth, yet simple tutorial on building a song in Live I've seen, and explaining the details of each click and move is very helpful. Perfect.

[@moodmusik]

Freddie! One of the original youtube beat breakdown dudes. Nice!

[@Zer0Spinn]

First time I hear about this guy, but count me as a fan forever. What a legend.

[@merlinzest]

one of the best videos, keep getting this guy on for sure

[@jeremysemanhyia8456]

Bustling is easily one of my favourite beats by Freddie Joachim! 🔥

[@matthewmouras2275]

Some really good stuff in here. Seeing his methodology and the specifics of how he uses Simpler and Drum Racks is really helpful. I've been using Live for years, but still learned some things.

[@mStargazin]

Freddie Joachim! Always good to hear his meditative sounds, to see him at work is soothing

[@AdilConstantineMusic]

love the track and your pace of teaching. well done Freddie!!!

[@forsale313]

Thank you for showing the complete process and keeping it simple. I think I can go into Abelton and really come up with something.

[@XxShadowOfAgesxX]

one of the best in the game.

[@takeobeats]

one of my inspirations to make beats. very cool to see your workflow

[@famousarmystudio]

He’s “going ahead” so much, he’s into the future

[@KrishnaMarathe]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@fenderrhodes9647]

what

[@LaurieRogerson]

I'm going to go ahead and agree with that

[@imtryingmybestman]

DUDES A LEGEND

[@WalkinonSunshyne]

Nice teaching by Freddie here. So clear.

[@anf8647]

Absolutely love Binoculars by Freddie. It introduced me Francoise Hardy and her great work. Great video showing how simple making beats can be with good samples.

[@axanderofficial8619]

Sounds like one of these typical laidback background tracks for studying on KZbin. Like it!

[@Drums1696]

OMG I love these series, you guys are extremely talented, hope you keep doing that great music!

[@Yukidaijo]

master class made simple to understand. awesome. TY

[@floatinganarchychannel3204]

Amazing workflow !! Rellay enjoyed watch you create, thanks

[@mauleymaule]

I love this guy music and have done for some time now. Thanks for getting him on Ableton, that was informative.

[@larslien8080]

I wanna thank you so much for this amazing video. I learned a lot more than chopping samples! I love this daw, and thanks to guys like you I slowly learn it’s full potential. My drum programing skills just went trough the roof! Thank you!

[@AZUbius]

Tried and true methods. It's crazy to come back to another Freddie J breakdown 10 years later and see the same basic techniques still turning out magic. Legendary. Freddie Joachim, Eric Lau, and 9th Wonder made me.

[@funkytoe733]

I'm at the age of 48 now. This is what I want for a long time!! I'll do it right now. thanks😊

[@joaog_dj]

AMAZING !!! Thank you for this tutorial mate, excellent tips!

[@jamescox1750]

Thanks, Freddie for sharing your ideas and expertise with us. I truly enjoyed it and will now invest in small instruments as well. Keep up the good work.

[@DinoTito.Bajramovic]

This video made me upgrade my Live 9 to 10. Thank you Freddie, for a great and inspiring look into your creative process.

[@ycedi]

I love this! Thank you so so much! It might just be me, but those "S" are piercing my ears

[@earphtone]

there's a plugin for that. :)

[@thevoid5117]

Somehow I made it 13 minutes into the video without noticing but now its all I can hear lol

[@lonniemoeism4548]

I've been an avid follower of yours ever since I stumbled across your myspace when that was thing LOL. Thanks so much for sharing some tips with us! I learned more than a few things I will be adding to my workflow forsure! So thankful! One of the dopest to ever do it POINT BLANK!

[@piratediffusion]

Listening to Serenade right now! Was wondering what beast made this and here you are, love your music brother

[@KordTaylor]

Nice video. Thank you. Fun to see how you use multiple samplers. Thanks again!

[@blearmusic]

Keep pushing these, really helpful! 🎶

[@ratchetheros]

0:20 Ridge Racer - Move Me

[@omniosi]

Adding Reverb to one Drum pad in a drum rack. Answered my exact question. Need to watch againg for the drum EQ stuff!

[@Hiprich]

Serious stuff. This is one bad dude 👌🏾

[@GoodxJ]

Drum Bus sounds good! thank you, learned something new

[@BillioTV]

Thanks, Freddie. This video helps a lot.

[@electron7373]

A lot of really useful beat making techniques covered here - Thanks FJ!

[@xchach182]

I pretty much made notes of every little thing you did! Thank you so much for the info!

[@bigsteve302]

the best part about these is seeing how many different ways there are to use live. I've been on the 90 day trial, i'm still figuring things out and I'm not sure exactly what i want out of live as far as genre goes because i'm still learning on how to use the program and craft my style, which has been mostly influenced by these videos and other youtube vidoes like yousuckatproducing and kenny beats. I'm on the very tail end of that trial and originally i was going to go with live lite that came with my novation mini mkiii, but honestly, suite is for sure what i really want and what i'd get to anyway.

[@BulgBeats]

loved this beat brother, got some great tips to expand my workflow in Ableton too, Thank you

[@SeanPowell913]

great tutorial, especially the transients drum and sample chopping!

[@Manishmauryafilms]

i really love it i started abelton and this video taught me a lot

[@NDRZLA]

Thanks Freddie💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@alex22watts]

Thanks for sharing! Great insight into your process!

[@DirtZen]

This is why I love KZbin. Awesome content, thank you for all the hard work putting it together. It’s inspirational to watch and full of lessons to learn. 🤙✌️

[@bulemy]

Hope to get an answer! Ableton has always been proud of excellent functionality right out of the box, eq8 - an excellent equalizer, but why in 2020 does it not support the linear phase function or dynamic change? Please add it users are waiting for these things: dynamic option of EQ8 (Must have) Comping, guys, 2020 year. We need it in 10.2 Pitch correction (has even daw which costs 200$, (logi), (cub) stud.one and even FL=D) / ARA2 support MPE support MULTIBAND FX'er (Like in BWS, Stud.one... You can create it in ableton, but it should be native) A native LFO tool. And a much more flexible one than the M4L one that comes with Live Suite. (and indeed it would be useful to add another plugins) Group freeze (would be nice, but not critical) map SOLO button in chain. Group and hide RETURN tracks. (Buses), => no limits on return tracks. Native Loudness meter device. (LUFS, RMS) / integrated LUFS meter in ableton Limiter. Easy and useful. Add a more flexible process of waveshaping with the ability to modulate from the volume level. We want Ableton to be the “Lego constructor” for creating anything else, right up emitting analog sound! full-fledged fullscreen disabling velocity sensitivity in midi keyboards. Add the notation of knobs return tracks on the tracks so that when their number exceeds 5, it is easy to determine where the return is sent and what, or remake the send system altogether, make it convenient to use!

[@LuisDanielGuerra]

Can someone help me? Please? I've managed to slice the track like this 1:27 but when I use the pads, the song plays out of order and some don't even trigger anything. I'm using the akai mpk2 mini

[@TheValueOfN]

This is an excellent vid for this new Ableton user.

[@lahwfsk167]

right to the point, very nice tuto

[@jamessargeant6207]

Slice drum sample to midi track directly from the browser by right clicking. You don't need to drag the sample into a channel to then slice to new midi track. The Auto Filter low pass on your chain. Well directly after it you have the EQ8. You have a high pass on to cut out the low frequencies. Why not just use the low pass setting on the EQ8 as well instead of having both plugins?

[@BIG_PASTA]

It seems to me since it's an effect rack he uses it in multiple projects.. perhaps he wants to use some of the features of the auto-filter sometimes such as the LFO or the envelope follower? Thats what I would think at least.

[@djnattyvo]

Thank you so much for this vid, I learned a lot! 🙏🏼

[@mamba691]

Wow! This is awesome and like the way you work with samples and effects rack to build you sing from start to finish👍🏾

[@madimakes]

couple things: Freddie Joachim one of my faovrites! i shoulda *known* he played i am surprised at how little he bobs his head as he was first laying out the drums...lol i agree...i could listen to a netflix series on beatmaking by freddie. mad chill :) my heart is warmed knowing that tens of thousands of people have learned to make better beats. :)
