[@IHMadeThis]

I think I'm going to go through all the One Thing episodes and use them to make a song, everyday. I think I will start with this one.

[@collinkeys3685]

did u come up w anything cool?

[@HeathHolme]

Working in audio can be lot's of fun - you can also try reversing the sample, adding warp markers and time stretching parts of the clip, explore clip transposition envelope automation - pitch the sample up or down, do both freeze flatten/consolidate change warp algorithms rinse and repeat the limit is your imagination 🙂

[@Made0nEarth]

yap its called "Ableton" music and was almost impossible to create in the old days! (i produce since 1998)

[@CommentsJust]

Quick n easy explanation, thank you Yoav. This looks fun

[@RicoTropico]

After many years od searching I recently back to Ableton 11. Man, i love life again 😃♥️

[@Renaxelo]

this is seriously really good of ableton

[@sugarpuppies]

So simple and yet, effective

[@Perenbarn]

yeah i do this aswell. the warp function is pretty nice.

[@PingusWorls]

Never thought about that. Fantastic idea, I will try it out as soon as I'm back in the studio. Thanks a lot

[@atoydrummer]

Yes Yoav!! Great idea!

[@lauriepitt]

I love some creative warping - there so many options. My fav is get an unquantised sample, then quantise it with repitch warp setting and you get some freaky results!

[@ehlohimwhil5762]

For those who didn't know of a "bounce in place" option (including myself)

[@anamendez3111]

Thank you so much for making stuff in soft a lot easier to understand.

[@savionron]

This is gold

[@devalah]

Awesomeness! 🙌

[@lorenzomicheletto4088]

Excellent!

[@TR-707]

please add automation to the warp mode settings!

[@chris5375]

Great Idea 👍🏻🔥❤️

[@florianinside5666]

Nice one

[@damianlonare]

Super Awesome Tip! thanks guys!

[@The_Svara]

THIS is so cool ❤❤

[@joshmash1635]

Feels for the creative team for these videos haha

[@regmonmusic]

Very good!

[@mihovil5806]

amazing stuff

[@ufukdoeseverything]

wooowwww such a nice video

[@errortonin]

when dexter's lab gets his hands on abelton

[@bharumusic]

What studio desk is that? I need that!!

[@kevindowtyjr4503]

Me after he stretches the audio back out: "... wait what?" So thankful for the cool techniques you can learn from videos like this.

[@tilersun]

Buy this man a case of Guinness.

[@5argon]

I often irrationally fear of losing MIDI data not able to go back and edit again. I need to flatten to waves more often to play with stuff like this.

[@trsctr]

you can ctrl(or cmd)+drag the frozen clip to a new audio track and voila, you have an audio clip you can mess around with but can go back to midi if you need to.

[@user-rj8du2cf7i]

Kinggggg

[@kenshofalco8326]

I have a question... I want to begin looping but was thinking it would make sense to purchase Ableton software if I can loop with it because I'd end up owning Ableton studio... I'd be more than willing to make the right investments if I could effectively live loop with Ableton software.

[@_distilat]

Go ahead and download the trial, you can try it for 90 days. That's plenty of time to figure out if it's sufficient for your live looping needs. It is, after all, quite an expensive investment and only you can decide if it is ultimately worth for your needs.

[@sandwich-breath]

Ableton Live is much more versatile than buying a dedicated looper pedal… and you can customize it to create a perfect looper using a controller and midi. It takes a bit of effort but it’s much better than being stuck with a hardware looper that has limited functions.

[@kenshofalco8326]

@@sandwich-breath Thank U and I agree. I've already been talking with my Sweetwater contact. I've actually watched a bunch of videos where others demoed it. It's as versatile and complete as any stand alone unit will ever get. PeaCe!

[@daghermusic]

dope

[@pullupgeorge]

@ableton I love y'all content but why does it have to move so slow and so formal ?

[@ThomasDeJoenge]

simple and ez

[@MasterMojo85]

Great lesson. But that desk and chair look so uncomfortable. I can literally feel the back pain. 😮

[@nramirez0699]

Based ableton

[@rupertgillies447]

Can some explain why shift + drag isn’t allowing me to extend a audio clip?

[@HeathHolme]

Hi, The audio clip needs to have warp turned on - for shift + drag to work

[@rupertgillies447]

@@HeathHolme thanks for the reply. It still doesn’t work for me.

[@HeathHolme]

No worries @@rupertgillies447 sorry to hear that didn't solve the issue you're having. The only other thing I can think to mention is make sure you're dragging from the top right corner of the clip when you see the ] symbol.

[@half_man_half_Chihuahua]

Could you add Japanese subtitles to this video?

[@6ixnot]

You are kane wwe

[@HumanBeingWithFeelings]

This would be even better if Ableton didn't crash so often

[@Peter32tjrksor]

Genuinely interested. What all do you run for it to crash?

[@HumanBeingWithFeelings]

@@Peter32tjrksor I dont know what people do but what I do is produce, mix and master music using stock and third party plugins

[@1998Cebola]

I've owned Ableton 11 since launch and have had a crash every 3 months at most, almost always after introducing a home made 3rd party/m4l plugin that evidently was not properly bug tested. Are you sure your computer is fit to run the software?

[@jhonrivera6223]

HAHA trueee

[@amackclassic6737]

That's quite a reach to the keys.

[@ReckDemon]

Fix your latency issues when recording, when plugins are in a chain although OFF, when beat-time plugins like LFOs are after effects, when when when! Fix your DAW goddammit. We're paying money for it.

[@Ableton]

Hi, thank you for the feedback. Of course, we'll forward it accordingly. In the meantime, please make sure to take a look at this article in our Knowledge Base to find out how to reduce latency: bit.ly/2MvB59g We hope this helps!

[@Rgdonaire_07]

A bit underwhelming…

[@Barefoot_Joe]

He thinks he didn't use a plugin or effect 😂

[@TheMattmatic]

He didn’t? You know what he meant by it

[@TheNextEpisodes]

If you mean the wurli soft piano, that's a standard ableton instrument preset

[@hoodstockreligiontv]

This warping technique sounds terrible, sorry!
