I've been bingewatching all of your videos and learning a lot, so this coincidence really confirms that I've landed in the place with the right instructor !

[@xxxxxx542]

Very good tutorial ! , simple, short and clear

[@RadarMars]

I'm following your Ableton Live course and currently on the earlier sampling vid now. I came to the point where I mapped my AKAI MPD and record with a custom drum rack made from drag&drop samples, which I really wanted to do but was strug gling before I started following the playlist series. Your videos are easy to follow and really helping me, a big thank you!

[@derekbaker_]

The more I watch this series the more I just want to get into music production, then I remember I am not musically inclined 😂 Thank you for sharing your knowledge, you have an excellent teaching style.

[@NikolRelaxingMusic]

Thanks for sharing 😍 Love this so much

[@billiedoesbeats]

I'm 9mins in and had to comment. Thank you for breaking this down so nicely. I've had Ableton for a year and haven't even gotten to it because I've been focused on learning my MPC and SP404MK2. Now I'm ready to learn Ableton and this is exactly my style of learning.

[@kodefree]

Mate, every time I learn so much. Thanks for this!

[@KiDAppleBorg]

Very helpful and fun.

[@lilruzzo]

Man I have just recently started getting into music production and I stumbled across your channel! I have since binged a shit load of your videos, started following you music on Spotify! I'm currently going through your Ableton series and I have been watching some on skillshare aswell and honestly you could make a series on there to make lo-fi and I'd pay to watch It happily

[@HarryOsirian]

Thank you so much. I finally managed to chop a nice vocal sample for a remix

[@DarrenHale]

I just go manual mode every time, no messing.

[@user-sk7zr5uy6m]

Really informative but still easy to understand❤ You are my music hero~~

[@Taetro]

awwww 🥹🥹🥹

[@kerwinalexander6836]

wow! I'm not familiar with most of the information you shared in this video. I'll be watching this one a couple more times especially when I need to perform these tasks.

[@darrenterr3462]

great lesson....you have sent me on my way

[@Jimmybababoigameboy.]

Hello thx for the advice( in stream)

[@12inchmaxisingle]

Cool. Would like to see a Ableton/push remix tutorial from you. Thanks man.

[@Mill-on-da-track]

im an mpc guy but man sampling in ableton looks pretty good thanks for the tutorial

[@VINCEAKOKO]

That "Slice to MIDI/tTrack's a life saver

[@Taetro]

Totally!

[@devaux_nl]

What a lot of fun this was. I do have some clipping though at the end of each slice. Is that becasue I use a wet sample wich has a lot of delay? Sould this techniqiue only be used with dry samples?

I feel bad. You had 808 likes until I hit the like button.

[@djdazm]

Love these videos, so helpful! I am having issues tho. I have a sample from splice and I cant drop it like the video does with ease. It doesn't allow me to. Any ideas? Thank you in advance!

[@noteleksevil]

Great video, thank you! BTW where'd you get the Abra and the Cubone?

[@Taetro]

They are Pop figures!

[@HarmonicLife79]

Hi, great video - thanks. Is there a way to slice a loop to drum rack, but instead of the drum rack being labelled "slice 1", "slice 2", "slice 3" etc, to actually have the names of the drums appear in the rack? So "kick", "snare", "hi-hat" etc. Been searching for a way to do this and I'm not sure if it's possible or not but it would be super helpful if it is. Thanks

[@Largest_Marge]

Taetro lookin' like he just tried mushrooms for the first time.

[@Taetro]

[@kodefree]

Can this be used as a complete way to create beats?

[@boombaptist_]

Hello does anyone know how make my drum pads hit consecutively in a slicer? my pads are hitting random notes in the slicer and have no idea how to fix

[@bowlofrice7214]

Is warping a sample bad ?

[@Taetro]

No!

[@marcdevinci893]

I guess it's not possible to tune each slice independently is it?

[@Taetro]

in that case you'd want to work in a drum rack where each slice of the rack is it's own simpler and can be independently tuned!

[@marcdevinci893]

@@Taetro thank you I'll try that

[@HarryOsirian]

all that, whilst burning incense 🙂
