Making Chill House Music // Ableton Live Push 2 Workflow

Back at it again, Just wanting to jam on Push 2 and chop some samples and make a lo-fi house jam. I honestly don't like being roped into that genre but would you agree or disagree that this track falls into that category?

14:13 Love when you locked in that bass line haha

[@dylanscott3279]

Really appreciate what you shared about experimenting with house rhythms. Sometimes I get tripped up and overthink hat patterns or end up adding way too much off the jump and it ruins the groove. Simplicity is always key with little accents and changes in velocity to keep things spicy and interesting 😊

[@RickyTinez]

Yeah it’s surprising how much velocity can actually add to a drum pattern. I always make that exact same mistake that you do and just create the craziest rhythm which then doesn’t allow me to fit anything else within the groove and I get discouraged. And it’s usually until I just make another track with just a kick and that’s it and that helps me get through

[@DocBolus]

@@RickyTinez It's one of the reasons I love probability on sequencers, I can write a really busy line and then turn down the probability on various beats until you are left with only the essential hits for a groove but there are little extra sprinkles now and again to spice things up. It's a fine line.

[@syntheshwara]

Chopping on the transients, turning off warp and using the tail to fill up the gaps was a great tip! Thank you.

[@disparity-bit]

The color and warmth and lighting in your videos is such a perfect complement to your presentation style and your music. Love your work, bro!

[@lundsweden]

Ricky, your music always sounds great! The Blooper seems like a great tool for inspiration, unfortunately its very expensive!

[@RickyTinez]

Yeah it’s definitely a luxury tool to help with the creative process. I do stuff very similarly in terms of exploration on an SP404SX but you can probably get a lot cheaper now. If you just focused on sample mangling and sample manipulation it’s really good

Great vid Ricky! I've been noticing the same thing on my Push 2. At first I thought the pads were going bad, but seeing you have the same hanging note issue makes me think it's a Live 11 thing. Hopefully it gets patched soon.

[@vanguardianofficial6048]

Ricky, your videos are top notch, like masterclass quality. Keep the great stuff coming! Also not sure if you’ve done a video on this already, but if not then could you make one about how to run ableton through guitar pedals like you’ve done with the blooper in this video? And maybe even how you connect all your devices together like the peak with the push and routing into ableton?

[@TheLordGU]

I love your remark on working against one’s brain from time to time. It made instantly sense to me … but I have to figure out what sense - and which brain. :-D As for weird MIDI stuff going on, I myself am facing what seem to be USB issues with my 2020 MBP. I cannot point my finger at it yet, but most USB related hiccups were introduced to my setup with the update to Big Sur. It has almost brought me to the pint of giving up on doing music on Mac with DAW (Cubase in my case) as it has gone from annoying to being a pain. Yet I am still trying to figure out what might be my problem here - and if I manage to do so, I am going to share what solved the issue for me. Until next time, thanks for that video, Ricky!

[@RickyTinez]

Whoa, I’m happy to hear I’m not the only one pulling my hair out. Please keep me updated if you do you find anything out about it and shoot it to my email! Also GU.. as in Glenn?

[@Dunx]

awesome tune, great vid as always, and I love your clickity claikity computer keyboard - what is it?

[@Schtoopot]

Cool Ableton trick

[@Yannleon_video]

Awesome "in the pocket" bass on that. :) Hey, I was thinking about your setup, and did you thought about using "midi-synth peak"? It allows you to control Peak with a vst. It works pretty well. I even did a Ableton rack for it, so it makes automation a breeze, with the real parameters name. Anyway, still liking your desk? ( I have the same Platform, but I am having quite hard time to find out the optimal keyboard / mouse place! ) ;-)

[@trespacerooh]

Hey Ricky, love the videos man. I just got a pair of the tma-2 wireless because of your video. Any tips on getting the audio louder without it distorting the signal sent? I thought I might have figured it out by adding a limiter but wanted to see if you had a better solution.

[@RickyTinez]

I usually don’t mess with the volume on the headphones (The three buttons on the side) and I only rely on my audio interface headphone volume. Does your intervase have some weird DSP routing where it might be quiet? I find that might get pretty loud without distorting. Now that I think about it, I don’t think they have ever distorted haha

[@trespacerooh]

@@RickyTinez I’m using universal audio interfaces. In the manual it said something about it distorting if the audio reaches a certain threshold so I made sure to start using a limiter lol. Maybe I just like my music a little louder than usual. I am using the drivers that came with the headphones though

How are you routing your sample track through the pedals and then back into live?

[@RickyTinez]

I’m just using the external “effect plug-in” that comes with live. It’s super good! That routes audio within a track to a designated output and back into live through a design nated input!

I see good music and music that just sucks to me, and it does not matter. I own some pedals yet frankly, most stuff I hear I can duplicate or have more options by running signals through my rack samplers. Most DAWs can make great tracks, and most of them have similar features, so there's no logical reason to spend a lot of money, nor update them often, unless the updates are free. I have older copies of Sonic Foundry and Acid, and I installed Reaper, VCV, and some other open source software. One thing I just bought that's worth the money is my PolyEnd Tracker.I love hybrid studios with samplers and some pedals because there's almost infinite options..
