Ableton Tutorial: Creative Time Stretching with Serato Sample (Sound Design)

[@JK28310]

the most inspiring sound desing video in 2020.

[@medik7493]

Wonderful to have you back with fresh tutorials

[@harrydevos4179]

Dude, you give the best Ableton tips on the net, awesome combination of inspiration and knowledge, big up yourself!

9:39 The Ableton one took it from about 3:30 down to about 1:15, so it was playing back at a much slower speed than the 999bpm you just heard in Serato. Love the Avrilzilla bit!

8:51 Serato for sound design - Ableton to Horror soundtracks! Thats is really cool ! 🔥

[@Slynk]

Spooktober!

[@qalx]

16:15 remember me something like Eternal Darkness 😂 ! All the Respect sirrrrrr!

[@bwah9481]

wow, great analysis thank you!

[@pongtrometer]

Really great tip...for playing melodies at ultra low BPM with serato.... so now I can play and perform with bpm as a texture/timbre control of the sound...and play the sample melodically, yes excellent for LOFI sound design. You have made it SERATO METASYNTH

[@globalgogetter4469]

THIS was a DOPE exploration! And So inspiring to an OG 👍🏿 💯 Subbed!

[@RmaNYouTube]

IMO Nothing beats PaulXstretch at extreme time-stretching ratios.

[@pongtrometer]

RmvN ...can you play it melodically in PaulXstretch ?

[@bboymac84]

Want to see more of you Slink!

[@Puruboii]

Ooh a more user friendly Paulstretch? This might be a godsend! 😊🙌🏼

[@stack5317]

12:43 sounds like some of the best of Boards of Canada. Hot dang

[@Slynk]

Exactly. Love BoC

[@groundhouse]

Serato sounds Ambient...love it! :D Use some Delay.

this is ps1 spyro music @14.00

[@ResonanceRebel]

A comparison to PaulXStretch plugin (it`s free) would be nice comes to my mind

[@Slynk]

Yes I have played with paulxstretch but I really don't like the UX otherwise I would probably use it more.

@@Slynk you can use the paulstretch module inside audacity instead. Less annoying to use than the free plugin imo!

[@Slynk]

No, that sounds more annoying to use lol. Audacity? I haven't touched that program for a very long time.

@@Slynk I have it on my computer only for that purpose as well as for importing raw data as audio files. You can convert .exe /.dll / any file really to audio, it's a nice way to generate some nice glitches :)

[@Slynk]

Ok now I'm interested. Haha!

[@mingtingdeng4714]

Really like it ! I'm Sylnce .

[@carrera580]

Where could I get that spectrum analyzer?

[@basecase6139]

Avril Lavigne has never sounded so good!

[@Blogspierre]

The overall sound on Ableton on the 1/4 speed is far more metallic and springier. Point: Serato.

[@alexhormann8931]

Interesting comparison but I wonder why you didn't use complex pro and compensated some of the aliasing with its envelope slider. But hey, seems you're advertising this plugin anyways.

[@Slynk]

The formant and envelope sliders with complex pro do absolutely nothing when the transposition of the audio clip is unchanged. They only affect the sound when also transposing. Complex and complex pro are nearly identical algorithms otherwise.

[@alexhormann8931]

Slynk yeah but how is transposing up while pitching down different to time stretching

[@Slynk]

Read the Ableton manual: 9.3.6 Complex Pro Mode Complex Pro Mode uses a variation of the algorithm found in Complex mode, and may offer even better results (although with an increase in CPU usage.) Like Complex Mode, Complex Pro works especially well with polyphonic textures or whole songs. The Formants slider adjusts the extent to which the formants of the sample are compensated when transposing. At 100%, the original formants will be preserved, which allows for large changes in transposition while maintaining the sample’s original tonal quality. Note that this slider has no effect if the sample is played back untransposed. The Envelope slider also influences the spectral characteristics of the material. The default setting of 128 should work well for most audio. For very high-pitched samples, you may have better results with lower Envelope values. Likewise, low-pitched material may sound better with higher values.

[@alexhormann8931]

@@Slynk thanks man. But how is it that some heavily stretched out material simply sounds better in complex pro while complex seems to double the transients. But anyways... Just wondering.

[@globalgogetter4469]

Hmmmm

[@ThreeBeingOne]

Bought this, then 11 suite. Never touched serato again. Sampler/simpler/racks OP.

[@beerados3989]

*mustache intensifies*

[@Drrolfski]

I rather prefer Ableton's warp algorithm as it performs where it counts, which is preserving the beat.
