[@SamBKearns]

Wow, this performance is great, well done. Your performing setup is very similar what I am trying to do to too (Live, Launchpad, keyboard, mics, etc), so I can appreciate the difficulty of what you are doing.

[@Thomas-yz3ny]

[@tiggerdyret]

Hi, great performance. Would you consider making a tutorial about how you did this performance and the hardware software setup the made it possible?

[@reubentrapp]

wow VERY cool!!!

[@chrismezz1]

Is he really doing all this? Its wow.

[@carlosrequena4093]

machine

[@mrprotector10]

Your video is also awesome but i could not find resemblance with song and video I m big fan of you sir, I love this song so much and your sound engineering and me too doing the same but my assets are limited.Wish i will able to learn more from you.

[@JahBlessStudios]

Salve do BRASIL, esse som é muito louco !

[@AnthonyElsetinow]

I love your videos and you have extraordinary talent. Can you do the same performance using looping in Logic X? if so, how? I never used Ableton.

[@pludovideo]

Logic is a great DAW. A lot of great producers using it, however it is geared towards use in the studio. There may be some plugins you could use to do something similar in Logic but I think you would not have the same flexibility! Ableton has some very unique features that make looping very intuitive. Once you have learnt 1 piece of software its alot easier to learn another.

[@pludovideo]

also alot of the VSTS/plugins you use in Logic will work in ableton so its not a completely new language.

[@bernardorodrigues3339]

Muito bom! podia vicitar o brasil kkk

[@AlbanBERNARD]

Absolutly great. I like the swing. Witch effect are you using when you're singing ?

[@pludovideo]

+Alban BERNARD (AstroMusik) my vocals run thru ableton live. I use in built compressor and a plugin called psp vintage warmer. I also then run simple delay and tiny bit of chorus on the fx send so I can get clarity out of my main vox channel and the extra colour and decay sits behind that.

[@KrasavkinRomanE]

I'm dancing)

[@thefarmermusic]

Nice sound. Wich effect did you use for your vocal ?

[@aladindjmusic]

Awesome performance, like it so much, just interested where can I find those Trumpets, sounds great, cheers.

[@pludovideo]

It is actually the trumpet sound in kontact (native instruments) just add some compression and reverb though as the sound on its own is pretty dull. Sorry for slow reply!

[@abdulhalimabdullahi9907]

OMG

[@lefoulefou8875]

Oh oh my god

[@todei79]

Hey Pludo, I like your style man. Quick questions: what is allowing you to record/loop sounds recorded via mic? Is that the XL or is that all ableton?

[@pludovideo]

the XL is just a controller. It triggers looping via ableton. if you click the "midi" box in right hand top corner all your functions turn blue. This means you are in mapping mode. You can then assign whatever function you like to whatever button or dial you like. N.B - that in preferences link/midi you need to make sure you have the "remote" button on of whatever device you have connected.

[@mrprotector10]

where did u get the sound effects of your launchpad pro and how did u arrange it please let me know sir thanks a lot.

[@pludovideo]

I use the drum rack in ableton live and then you can load each individual sample in. The trick is to play what you want on keyboards and record the audio. Then you splice up that audio and drag it across into the drum rack.

[@mrprotector10]

Hello Sir, How r u, Hope you r fine and thanks a lot for the reply. Sir please also let me know how did u connected all these staffs together and how did u record your voice without noise.

[@pludovideo]

I use a motu soundcard which connects to my computer via firewire. My noice plugs into the motu sound card. Also the roland drum pad plugs into the motu card midi input. The launchpads and keyboard all are plugged into the computer via USB. There is no noise through the vocal mic as I am wearing headphones therefore there is no speakers playing. Hope this information helps! Good lukc in your music ventures buddy! PLUDO

[@mrprotector10]

thanks sir have done any sound engineering course,plz let me know i m just interested in these staffs

[@pludovideo]

just a lot of practise and research. Pretty much in question you have in life these days the internet has an answer for.

[@TurtleyMcTurtle]

Better live tbh, saw him on white night

[@pludovideo]

TurtleyMcTurtle Whitenight was insane !!!!!!! However the crowd got pretty bloody rowdy! At one point I thought they were going to trample all over my gear and since its all hooked up to batteries and inverters....I was a little worried that I may catch on fire!

[@TurtleyMcTurtle]

haha oh god, the horror :')

[@FRAN-to7uy]

Love the video!!!!! Would you say i need a quadcore i7 or would i be fine with the dualcore i7 from the 13 inch MBP??? (looping insruments from vsts and real time vocal processing)

[@pludovideo]

Sorry for slow reply! It will all depend on how many channels you want to run and what Vsts you use. Buy the best machine you can afford. You cant bury your money with you! N.B - if you are using it live careful that it never overheads otherwise it can choke!!! I have literally had to sit my laptop on giant fans just to get through shows before.

[@pludovideo]

check above photo :)

[@FRAN-to7uy]

thanks man!!!! i apreciate ur advice, i think im gonna go for the MBP 15, last question: do u use lives effects on your vocals or wich vst do u use?

[@pludovideo]

perhaps look at getting highest amount of ram and also a SSD hard drive. I use the ableton FX for my vocals. I hope you make some rad music mate! cheers

[@martabros2335]

❤️😌👍🏼

[@alpakaalpaka3983]

You should look for a partner to be less in hurry. Great performance !

[@josephchristoffel]

02:16 his laptop screen turned on suddenly.

[@beatz04]

Because it's all f****ing playback.

[@pludovideo]

As you will see in the description its 3 takes cut together. Sorry I only had one camera.

[@johnfrytey1331]

Do you use macbookpro 17 inch? 🙂

[@pludovideo]

yes i sure do! However good idea to get one with a solid state drive.

[@louokayyo3954]

You look young! How old are you?

[@pludovideo]

Haha lets just say I am young in spirit :)

[@marcosa.catena6414]

Hi mate, is this song in itunes or beatport ?

[@pludovideo]

yes it is on iTunes cheers

[@studemark]

How do you do the live looping in Ableton Live?

[@pludovideo]

Stu Demarkles Hi Stu, there is two ways. 1. There is a plugin that comes with ableton called 'looper'. This function works great if you want to just hit record and then 4 bars/8bars later it will automatically loop (you can set how long). 2. Ableton has two modes 'clip mode' and 'track mode' (which is more like Cubase/logic/pro tools) . If you are in clip mode you will see all the squares above the channel. If you hit the record button on that square, play what you want to loop and then hit it again then it will loop. If enough people are interested in this I could probably do a video. Hope this helps! cheers

[@MilkaInSpace]

pludovideo do a video! :D

[@djcline6520]

+pludovideo please do!!

[@dreamshala1338]

+pludovideo Nice job! and yes, a video of your Ableton setup would be great!

[@-thirteen]

+pludovideo I too would.love to see a demo of this process. I want to do live looping space rock jam but I'm ableton stupid

[@uzaahr]

pls get better video quality. i think a more cinematographic look would boost your viewership.

[@pludovideo]

funnily enough....I have 11 super cinematic videos shot with grand piano, massive drums, live drummer in a nice big room about to come out. So we are on the same page buddy! They will be released in the next few weeks so keep any eye out. Thanks for your feedback!
