It's incredible how you make complex things extremely intuitive and fun. Thank you si much for the quality of your tutorials. Very inspiring.

[@billB101]

So much useful stuff on this channel.

[@JaviRollo]

You sell this presets ??

[@herss_soul]

Great tips. Thank you!!

[@pdidz1238]

You've completely changed my ability to use ableton and singlehandedly given me more avenues to creatively express myself. Thank you for the videos and keep them coming! Best ableton channel on youtube by far.

[@SeedtoStage]

wow thank you for this comment!

[@mekullag]

god damn, dude. Feels like everytime I wonder if I should be spending money for plugins like serum I come across another tutorial that reminds me how I‘ve not even scraped the top of what‘s possible with stock ableton alone. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@menuki6996]

Same here, totally agree. This video opened my eyes again...

[@rickf6375]

Ableton's stock plugins offer so much, Max for live adds another dimension of possibilities and most of the time you're better off perfecting your workflow with what you have on hand rather than spending money on new plugins. And then at a certain point I'd probably invest in plugins that have a coloring effect such as the teletronix la-2a compressor you can use for group processing

[@giln4689]

its cool to have the majors. serum, sylenth, omni, etc. and some samples. but making shit with the stock plugins is whats really gonna give u ur own sounds and techniques.

[@FurkanTopal]

I discovered this by myself after spending 2.5 hours on Wavetable and "User" section was at the last section and I became extremely excited for the possibility to insert samples, then I recorded my voice and create banging sounds then I researched on youtube to see how many ppl know and talk about this, and I found this vid and this guy directly starts with his own voice recording hahahah. But anyway I'm catching, 3 years ago, when he uploaded this vid, I was not a free person.

[@4theswarm13]

Note for Tip #1 you need to record your audio as AIFF filetype... it won't work with a WAV filetype. You can change this under the Record, Warp, Launch tab of preferences

[@yassinismail3080]

thanks bro, exactly the info I've been looking for :D

[@anandshah210]

Still not working wave table changes to sampler

[@slowriterband]

Still just changes to sampler even with aiff files for me. Anyone else?

[@mattcooper8283]

With your previous videos on Operator and now this, my inspiration on where to take them is galactic. Thank you!

[@SoundBlackRecordings]

WOW all my arpeggiation and weird oscillation prayers have been answered by the techno gods today! My life has been changed unalterably by the wavetable knowledge I've been gifted with thanks to KZbin's algoryth! THANKS SO MUCH.

[@royforrest3924]

Please never stop posting videos, you’ve personally taught me more about music production than anybody else, including private tutors. A true living legend ❤❤

[@friedcrumpets]

Best Wavetable tutorial I've come across thank you :)

[@AlejandroGuerrero]

Man this is the absolute best video on Wavetable on KZbin, congrats !!! Much value here !!! I discovered 4 new things !

[@MR1337SKI]

Man I keep coming back to your videos. You have so much info packed in each one you really need to watch them multiple times to completely digest them, and that's great!!! I have learned a lot from you, thanks for everything.

[@djallstyle]

It just won’t stop!!!! Every time I think I fully understand Ableton, there something new!! This is by far the best DAW ever created. Especially using stock plug ins & sounds!

[@sheepgangordie]

This is amazing. The more I fall in love with sound design the more I almost explicitly use built in ableton devices

[@CosmicAxY]

Honestly it's a bit overwhelming. Started producing about 6 months ago and just now tipping my toes to sound synthesis and design and god damn. After this I don't understand what do people use Serum for, how is it better? I mean the serum effects seem cool but there are so many insane things that you can do with ableton stock effects that I really don't get why pay for it.

[@sheepgangordie]

@@CosmicAxY it’s all just about having fun tbh

[@kbyer]

This is te best Wavetable video i have come across...Thanks for the upload!

[@HTehnique]

Before I clicked, ego said that there's nothing left to learn about the Wavetable, yet, I clicked none the less, since there's no such thing as knowing EVERYTHING about something and, after watching this video - I know more about the Wavetable than I did before, thank you!

[@dannydever915]

every question I have had about wavetable was answered in this video...thank you millions

[@disastermidi1990]

Man your operator videos were a live saver, have been waiting for this vid from you!

[@bigdap100]

man...this video was pretty frikkin' good bro. Quick and to the point...Excellent!

[@steveduffy5137]

11.40 onwards is pure CLASS. . Mapping those specific controls, Loop Decay ENV 2 & Amount of LFO, to a midi controller is feeling mighty tempting. Could be too hard to handle, but I reckon a few nuggets will pop up. Have the tape rolling & delete the shite afterwards. As always with you, the delivery is sharp as diamonds. Careful conveyance compacts the complex. You are a bit of legend sir....

[@leonard.c]

you are really making the best Ableton tutorials so far!!!

[@alexbetanzos1035]

Anthony you are a legend idk how you figure this shit out but I'm grateful, sending you da best vibes in these times! Much love

[@peterpyaarkar]

This tutorial was so concise.

[@deboisemeane]

Best ableton tutorials I've ever seen

[@CounternoiseMusic]

Thank you so much! *Tons* of inspiration packed in a most concise way. Especially like that you're constantly demonstrating audibly what you're doing. So many tutorials just get lost in talking for ages. Another gem on YT!

[@anthonygio9961]

Been using wavetable loads and didn't know half these tips! Thanks!!

[@mikedots9544]

so good every time, can't express my gratitude for your videos, thanks Anthony!

[@ben89422]

[@fluffylogic1]

Loving this, sometimes I don’t appreciate things I already have in Ableton

[@zacwhyte]

This was great dude. I like your style. Informative and full of great ideas.

[@zpurpz]

Thanks nice video!!

[@mihovil5806]

Ableton is absolute beast

[@JohnnyWalkerArt]

So Good!!! I feel like you just dropped some keys off that will open many doors. Thanks for being so clear and concise. Game changer.

[@RA2Music]

So great Anthony, thanks.

[@kennygoldschlager2933]

Great video one of the most informative I have seen on wavetable. 👏

[@rohitmalladi4546]

Best intro yet! Haha... thanks, your videos are invaluable man.

[@corican]

Great video, loved how snappy it was.

[@Mancheguache]

great work - inspirational!

[@drelephanttube]

Awesome video, packed with great info!! I previously thought Wavetable sounded good but was a bit basic, but you've given a lot of cool options. THANKS!

[@tim_arterbury]

Whoaaaa I didn’t realize some of these features existed, so dope! Thanks for the awesome video!

[@ddddieggggo]

LOVED IT!!! Thank you, I suscribed

Sick lesson, dude! Thanks a lot! Instant sub.

[@deejayswann]

Super great man! Very useful

[@DrewWilbur]

Great tutorial, thanks for the tips

[@breezybranches]

Turns out I had a lot to learn with wavetable!

[@fourgodsache3582]

Honestly, Seed to Stage is the most inspirational channel on KZbin, but I’ve stopped making music now - I just make sounds

[@ruahproduction1739]

Very helpful video. Thanks . Could you make your own vocoder with this. Thanks

[@mundelator]

Inspiring, thanks !

[@ryancrosbyofficial]

Dope tut. Thanks

[@waffleassembly6779]

This is great. I'm pretty frustrated with Serum which adds clicks to certain notes. And more often than not, that custom patch I worked on for an hour doesn't sounds the same when I open it up the next day.

[@jasonmaggard3829]

Great video

[@pabloiniguez9482]

Thank you ❤

[@subrift]

I like your style

[@datguy4104]

I can't believe I didn't know you could drop your own wavetables in. One of the only things I didn't like about wavetable was clicking through preset tables lol

[@GenteelCretin]

I think it was added in the 10.1 update. I don't know why Ableton didn't hold off on releasing Wavetable so that the feature was included on release; it's such a huge deal that one would assume they'd want to highlight it, especially because the initial release was mired by people complaining that it wasn't Serum.

[@alexbetanzos1035]

I had no idea either, game changer

[@bintje]

awesome ! you rule. woah !

[@justintaylor3805]

Awesome video , very useful and simple to apply. Thanks a lot. do you have any course material?

[@SeedtoStage]

almost ;) I am creating what I hope to be the most robust collection of online courses available on Ableton Live. If you want to be notified when they are ready put your email in here: mailchi.mp/a6892b61ffb2/seedtostage

[@Mr_Pfau]

that intro sound is damn wide. feels like you used the delay method I saw elphnt teaching. like a few ms on one channel, but enough bot to mess with mono Compatibility. Love all your videos bro. Im new to Music general and ableton, and I couldn't just wrap my head around ableton. now is SLOWLY start making more sense every time I watch you videos. Much love for what you doing.

[@JohannesBraunias]

Awesome!

[@tezal]

awesome thank you very much

[@dapro666]

thanks a lot man!

[@PoboyMusic]

Who needs a girlfriend when you have ableton ?

[@daintym0sh]

dang you got me with this one lol

[@johnpilots7619]

Preach brother

[@djb.o.b9974]

🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 amen to that

[@adikoopa1183]

Lol what are those

[@SeriouslyAbAze]

That's why I call it Babelton or ableton wife 11 😅

[@gtubgle]

SIK. Thanks bro

[@jijobuje]

This is really nice but i am wondering what is the difference between serum and this. There should be some difference since lots of people use serum right?

[@TheSharavaras]

nice! thanks a lot!

[@Frederikrolando]

Very nice. Have you experienced high CPU usage with Wavetable? My CPU spikes alot when using presets like Drubb Stabs and playing chords. It can go to 40 % cpu load :s

[@CosmicAxY]

OK, so this was insane. Just started looking at the wavetable like yesterday, and I had no idea how crazy this shit is. Any chance you could explain me the difference between Ableton Live's Wavetable and Serum, except for the obvious built in effects and UI of Serum. For some reason people say Serum is better in some ways, but after this I just don't understand how.

[@vulpixninetales]

Thanks I wrote a banger after watching this

[@sergenity]

Thanks

[@dyonissiszoes3747]

Damn this synth is dope! How come you hear everywhere that you can’t import your own wavetables? That’s exactly what is being done here right?

[@yamamitayofficial]

Dyonissis Zoes it’s kind of a new feature, wasn’t possible about a year ago

[@davidobienu9971]

BRUHHHH. GOAT

[@theasadoguy]

I was experimenting at 4am trying to find something like the "loop" option Thanks

[@modularjesus]

The very detailed mentioned in this video about retriggering envelopes and LFOs while on poly mode and not doing that on mono mode, as legato setting, is it possible to keep at least LFOs without retriggering in the poly mode as well? was trying to find this everywhere but can't find any answers...

[@gabrielcazalimusic]

THIS IS GREAT! thanks! mate just one thing, when i drop audio on Wavetable , it changes it to simpler, cant load audio on to wavetable to make it a waveform. Love the channel, thanks

[@gabrielcazalimusic]

Ja you need ableton 10.3 version to get it to work :)

[@nogoodkeister9251]

I just updated to latest version of Ableton which is 10.1.14. Yet still when I drag the audio into wavetable I get a red bar at the bottom saying I can't do so or it tries to convert the clip to midi. Any advice?

[@Marckianwowk]

NICE

[@stuartleighton]

How can I record my voice into Ableton? Do I need a specific hardware card and a mic?

[@zunicc]

Hey great tutorial, like always, thank you! :) I have one problem that I am encountering - I would get error message in status bar like "Cannot load table 'file_name' 'file_path'" when I drag any recorded audio into Wavetable. I am sorry that I cannot paste whole message - but unfortunately because of it's length I can't see it in full width... :/ Has anyone had this problem? I am using Ableton Trial and tried to change audio rec file type just to see if this would solve anything. I also couldn't find any information relating this subject online.

[@alexchavosaurus9041]

If you go to Options > Preferences and open up the "Record/Warp/Launch" tab, under Record, you have to change the file type to AIFF, rerecord your audio and Voila. Hope that helps. Cheers.

[@zunicc]

@@alexchavosaurus9041 It works, amazing mate, thx!

[@Saphira_Paix]

the second audio sounds like the darkzone in the division

[@nacimplus]

How can I create an automation inside Matrix. Can't attach any lfo to it. 😊

[@gabrielapaezlopez3391]

how come a drag and drop, and it changes the wavetable into the sample i drag n drop?

[@gabrielcazalimusic]

you need Ableton 10.3 to work :)

[@sokushinbutsu]

HELP! When I drag audio samples to wave table it just replaces the whole wavetable with a simpler. I can't seem to get wave table to accept the sample. Doesn't give an error or anything.. Just replaces it every time.

[@beaubrunb]

So cool ! But it doesn't work for me. When i drag the wave file on wavetable it change as a sampler instrument... Whyyyyyy !!!!

[@alexw1681]

Yeehaw wavetable is the shizzle
