[@itstonyholiday]

Thank you! I do find that as I become more familiar with the platform I don't go into as much detail and slow down explaining things as much as I should. Definitely going to try and do that more in the future! Thank you for watching!

Bro nothing but top quality from you. I eat your videos like canned tuna during a quarantine. Respect.

[@itstonyholiday]

Ha bru that means a lot, canned tuna is more valuable than oil rn. Happy you found the content helpful, I appreciate you watching and the kind words! Be safe 👍🙌

[@Easytony]

Tony Holiday always super helpful man. You guys are educating a generation of artists, esp now that we’re all at home.

[@Easytony]

Tony Holiday matter of fact, can I borrow your ear? I’d appreciate an expert opinion on my mix if you have a second. Lmk and I’ll send the link

[@itstonyholiday]

Easy Anthonyyy no disrespect here, but I get quite a few of these requests a day... I used to do it, but it’s gotten to the point where the only fair thing to do is I have to say no to everyone. Otherwise my day is full of checking out mixes and giving advice, not that I don’t like doing it but I’m a busy guy also with a fridge to fill. Sorry homie, best of luck 👍

[@Easytony]

Tony Holiday lol i bet man. all good! Stay safe out there!!

[@RepeatAgain979578]

Thank you very much for this dope template, i find the best ever workflow i think, so you get the step sequencer + one of the best sample manager, use his method, download and install adsr sample manager open it in logic pro, then drag and drop the sound you need in ultra beat or and in alchemy ( for 808), even fl studio could be jealous

[@itstonyholiday]

Not a bad shout at all. Haven't personally used ADSR sample manager but I've heard good things. Thanks for watching!

[@jordanmichael2655]

Could you do a similar video with 808s? I downloaded one of your packs and they sound different when I open them in alchemy. Im assuming theres effects pre loaded into alchemy as well?

[@itstonyholiday]

Hey, I have a couple, check my videos for them. Make sure they’re being loaded as “sample” in alchemy and not a different mode

[@gandhaar]

Hey Tony! Thanks so much for this video man... Helped a lot of us out. I just have one question. When you split UB in all those separate channels like kick, snare, clap, hat and open hat, You still have the main UB channel above them. Are you tweaking the parameters of all samples on that main UB? Also, when i bounce these out to send out for a mix, do i bounce the main channel also or just the individual ones? Thanks. I am just confused about the main channel's role after you have split the sounds.

[@itstonyholiday]

No I am using the faders underneath the main one. Not too sure about the bouncing out, I would assume it would make tracks separately if they’re on separate buses. Thanks for watching 👍

[@ethanacosta4933]

When I design a beat in ultrabeat and drag it into the song, it plays throughout the entire song and I don't really want that because I want some dynamics in my songs when it comes to drums. How can one fix that problem of turning off the mode of playing the ultra beat throughout the entire song, but only have it in sections you want?

[@itstonyholiday]

Turn off the sequencer 🤙

[@TheThepilzi]

Hey Tony, I love your video! However, I have the problem that whenever I put in a kick sample, Ultrabeat automatically transposes the kick sample higher to C3 I guess. Is there any way to turn off the transposition and let ultra beat play my kick just like in the sample ? Lots of love from Germany!

[@itstonyholiday]

Hmmmm, I haven't used UB for awhile and it didn't used to do that. Is it still the original pitch of the kick but it just transposes the midi? Thanks for the kind words

[@JPacaldo]

Can you do a vid abnout side chaining 808s and kicks?

[@itstonyholiday]

Great idea, thanks for watching!

[@JPacaldo]

Tony Holiday forsure man. I’ve learned so much from your videos. Had to put in a suggestion

[@itstonyholiday]

J Pacaldoi may not get to it right away but it’s worth a video for sure! Thanks again

[@JPacaldo]

Tony Holiday got it. Will forsure stick around though

[@Rahnjahn]

Might be stupid question but are you putting the high hat sample on the 25th sample spot on purpose to give it space on the piano roll away from the other sounds? I find that when tracking each sound out separately it still doesn't allow me to have the one sample on a full piano roll to experiment with different pitches. Itll still play whatever is next to it on ultrabeat.

[@itstonyholiday]

It’s the only key that allows you to have a full pitch in UB. When you put the sample there and then pitch it up an octave on the piano roll and then pitch it down an octave via Ultrabeat, it gives the original pitch you want 12 semitones down as well as much more up to do pitches. The other notes will just give you the next Ultrabeat key.

[@Rahnjahn]

@@itstonyholiday Interesting, I wonder why they do that. I've been using alchemy for sounds i want to pitch like hats and snares but it ruins my workflow a little. Thanks for the help

[@itstonyholiday]

Robert Powers honestly UB is pretty dated software with not a lot of upgrades since released other than typical debugging. I agree with you that it can disrupt the workflow to jump between plugins all the time, but once you get a system down, it doesn’t take too much time. Thanks for watching + the comment 🤙🙌

[@Rahnjahn]

@@itstonyholiday I had maschines MK1 but none of the legacy software works in logic anymore without some extensive workaround and its still a headache when trying to individual track out. I'm using UB for now until I find a diff AU for drums I like. A lot of them are pricey so I've been tentative. If anyone has and suggestions please feel free.

[@itstonyholiday]

Robert Powers havent personally tried it but I hear Battery all the time. A simpler one that’s great is Sitala that’s free. It replicates Abletons Drum Rack as a stand-alone plugin. The only downside is there’s no step sequencer

[@EDGARFIEDTV]

You really coming in clutch with helpful info!! I got a question! Those gain staging help with the hot drums clipping? I saw your gain staging ( Love it!) and I noticed gain staging my drums helps with the clipping

[@itstonyholiday]

Hey! Glad you really found the content helpful and are putting it to good use. In regards to my gain staging tutorial there is some misinformation in there. Yes, it will help with the clipping by turning the output down however it isn’t necessary to put everything to -12 as I said there in a digital environment. I’m planning on redoing that video in the future! Thanks for watching 🙌

[@EDGARFIEDTV]

Tony Holiday thanks for the reply!! Looking forward any future content of yours! Once again thanks for the videos man! Really able to learn how to put the sounds I hear on to something 🤘🏾

[@itstonyholiday]

Thank you so much! Makes me happy when people find the content useful. I really appreciate the words, definitely trying to be more diligent with the regular posting these day. Take care🙌

[@davidbernard6075]

Hi Tony did you have updated to the new version of Logic pro X 10.5? Because before I did this upgrade my Ultrabeat worked perfectly with your technique with the template you gave us but since i upgraded when i load a sample the sound of the sample is verry loud (and no more identicaly as the original sample) and i can't even get it down. Seems that your technique doesn't work no more? Thanks in advance for your answer hope you can save me ;))! peace

[@itstonyholiday]

Yup they probably changed somethings... the new plugins are better anyways!

[@davidbernard6075]

@@itstonyholiday yup as you said they probably changed something. I had all my template done and it worked perfectly but now i have to find another way to make my drum kits. Will ou make a new video about the new plugins and how it works to reach the same result? Anyway big thanks for your videos! Very helpful

[@itstonyholiday]

Yes definitely will be making more videos... this update is huge and I keep discovering things. Once I get a decent workflow down I will be sure to make a video showcasing it. Thank you for watching 🤙

[@annalisemartinez5672]

Tony, I need more sounds for Logic. Where can I get some nice kicks and snares to load onto Ultrabeat? I tried looking on my own and got lost. Thanks in advanced!!!

[@itstonyholiday]

Hey! No worries, it can be a search for sure. I use 3 sources typically... google, Reddit, and splice. I also will be putting out a drum pack soon (I keep delaying it because I keep getting better at making the sounds haha) so stay tuned for that as well 🙌👍 thanks for the shout

[@Eyekno710]

@@itstonyholiday after I setup my drum pattern in ultrabeat, i drag it to my project. Then I go to my mixer and create a track with all 6 drums. After i setup my beat and try to mess with the velocity on some of the drums, the velocity doesn't have any effect at all. I can drag it to the lowest velocity and it'll still sound loud, no effect. Any help???? I'd appreciate it a lot.

[@itstonyholiday]

@@Eyekno710 Sounds like you might have left the sequencer on still... that would over ride what you're hearing from the midi. Also make sure it's in Multi-output... try both of those and let me know

[@jeaaa1430]

Kick is -3db in ultrabeat when I press "kick key", but after i connect in the mixer kick input to UB17 (to my kick in ultrabeat) it is immediately 0db loud... not -3db. And in ultrabeat when I press "kick key" its too 0db. I rly dont get it cuz I have empty mixer channel without anything. Do you have some tips? Thanks

[@itstonyholiday]

jeaaa sounds like you’ve got some velocity modulation going on. Try following the tutorial again step by step and make sure you’ve removed all the modulations 👍

I used this method to create the drums for something I’m working on. When i bounced it, half way through the drums starts crackling. Any ideas what I can do to stop it??

[@itstonyholiday]

Sounds like they might be clipping. Monitor your aux tracks and turn the volumes down within UB

[@oscarmangini7878]

Tony Holiday alright cheers I’ll give it a go

[@oscarmangini7878]

Is the original audio file just too loud? Turn down the gain with the audio file, re bounce it and then load it 👍

No worries! Honestly love the simplicity of Sitala, but the lack of step sequencer can be a hit to beginners. Thanks for watching!

Tony Holiday I just use piano roll but I see the advantage to being able to see all your drum patterns at once

I do as well, or just drag in audio clips to the arrange window. But so many people migrate to LPX from FL, or leave it because of the lack of simplicity. This is showing them they don’t have to
