To hell with black Friday deals... a video from Luca is all the black Friday awesomeness I need. Thanks for another awesome video mate! This is a super cool technique I just learned recently and you opened up some new ideas for me.

[@rtdude1]

I especially love the layering ideas! Thanks for this!

[@andrestahlhofen4353]

Tutorials on gate are amazing! Thanks for sharing 🙏

[@DaveSchulze]

Luca with the bombs as usual! Thanks for inspiration techniques.

[@Wolfbladekai]

This is one of the best constructed and interesting music production tutorials I've ever seen. Very well executed. Thanks!

[@LesterBrunt]

Best way to do this, I also have a video on it on my channel, is to use something like operator to trigger midi notes and mute the channel. It will still send audio for side chaining but you get complete control over the signal in the midi roll. Then you can use something ecludian rhythms to make very unique, long and complex gate patterns. And it is super flexible, you can ofcourse change the pattern anywhere in the song. You can also play the pattern live or record it for a more human feel.

Would love to see more creativity vids

[@EDMProd]

Got a wholeee bunch of them on this channel man! Go check them out

[@delborrell]

Yes! Thx for sharing

[@EDMProd]

Thanks for watching my friend!

[@kennymagee470]

Loving your videos mate

[@pyro934]

So underrated

[@ShammyDeep]

Finally an excellent tutorial on KZbin 💯

[@bogotta]

Um... holy shit. Thank you Luca.

[@paulc7798]

Great technique. You should do an updated video using Loopcloud as the sidechain trigger. It makes finding interesting melodies and basslines really fast as you can just use your up/down keys to fly through loops.

[@Joshua_Griffin]

Woah thanks will try this

[@krismoonpie]

Just found your tutorials and am finding them very useful. Thanks a lot!

[@khufuwav]

This video literally opened a gate for me in a sense of creative workflow. Thank you & best blessings 🙏

[@rmcstay]

This is sick!! Going to go and play with Gates and loops next time I’m in Ableton 🙏

[@benjam7424]

Ahah same reaction at 11:02 very well surprised by the result. Really nice vid btw!

[@buzzandjim4265]

Coool

[@UltiemeHack]

Silly question maybe, but what sample packs are you using here? The thing you do with gating based on the beat reminds me of music from Klaus Veen. In some videos on his youtube channel I've noticed files like UG_perc_loop_16... and similar files with UG2_Drum_... and since I now see US_... for some of your files, I was wondering if these are certain sample packs? Besides this, thanks for making this video, very enjoyable and informative. I learn a great deal from your content!

[@EDMProd]

US is 'Underground Sounds' I don't think its related to UG unfortunately, but they're great samples nevertheless. Worth checking out

[@dprod83]

is there anyway you can do this with fl studio?

[@wired-up5677]

There is a way to do it with peak controller I believe

[@danydark193]

shaperbox left the chat :D

[@bllymusic9614]

You should turn your voice down. The dynamics between the unmixed sounds and your voice is a little much. But other than that. Nice vid
