Make your own top loops - Randomised patterns in Ableton Live

House and techno producers often use top loops to fill out their drum patterns. I'm going to show you how you can create your own with some randomisation.

With regards to these types of loops, is it possible to throw a few vocal soundbites and glitch them up with these randomised patterns [Ala Akufen eg] ? Can I use the arpeggiator option on AUDIO too ?

Hello Sir... Thanks for your many tutorials. Great Stuff!.. A general question please... It seems that you have a ton of Ableton Live clip files (file extension .alc)... I have some by being on Live Standard (and most are drum patterns) but nowhere near your count especially of melodic stuff... Are they all from Ableton? Or do you use (recommend) certain 3rd party packs that have ALC files? (I know that WAV single shots are pretty easy to obtain, and many are free.) Thanks again for help on melodic or chord ALCs. -PaulG

Hi Paul - .alc files come from Live and are dependant on the version you are using as you pointed out. I tend to focus more on finding high quality samples and synth presets than .alc files. Hope this helps!

not just samplers - instruments too
