my ableton dont have mpc sampler ? i need mpc ?

[@SHIFTnopistons]

It's amazing how Underbelly is able to get his tutorials completed so quickly and comprehensively. More, you get stuff that other people shouldn't have left out in their 40 minute tutorials. Props alls around to this fantastic human and I hope all his help comes back to serve him. Thanks dude!

[@danwade-s4y]

hellz yeah. Many tutorials get caught up on "what is a clip", and then whole tutorials about warp markers, etc. Underbelly hits the right spot with explainability and execution and shit, now I know how to sample and chop. Still boggling my mind with Maschine (lol). Nice to be able to follow along with my own sounds on Ableton after many years of frustration. Tough doing this sh on your own, cause I still suck. ;-P

[@mikeford6611]

Sweet you actually explain shit rather than ramble.

[@3rdTim]

I already know all this stuff but watching this has me reminded of how fun producing is since I haven't done it in a while. I like the way you explain it while keeping it simple and entertaining. I wish I had your videos to watch when I was learning all this. Good shit bro. Oh and feel free to stop saying swag. Lol

[@yousuckatproducing]

thank you man. swag swag

[@nodz007]

Just read through, the comments and seriously don't get what is up with people. Personally thought you have a great style of presentation and teach in a very entertaining way. Looking forward to more from you. Subscribed. Ignore the haterz ( I put z on the end to make myself sound a bit more hip, hope it worked )

[@ENICIO69]

+yousuckatproducing the man knows his meat ladies!

[@joedrums2]

+yousuckatproducing That is very true, but as someone who works in both there are strengths and weaknesses in both. I would score a film in Logic but not Ableton, but I would us Ableton for slicing and making beats. I could use Ableton for scoring but the inability- unless you know a way- to nudge for example among other things is an instant drawback. p.s nice tune with you and the flute player in the tunnel

[@yousuckatproducing]

+Joe Janiga thank you Joe yeah something like logic or pro tools is definitely more suited to movie scores

[@hwy22boy]

Yeah man, good looking out with this video. I'm trying to learn how to expand my skills because i just started like two months ago. I've been watching countless KZbin videos ring to figure out how is done and none that I've watched has came close to this one.

[@yousuckatproducing]

[@joedrums2]

Underbelly. How are you auditioning those slices? How are you scrubbing through your initial slice from the track? Right around 5:45? I can use the arrows to move through the slices but I don't "hear" anything. Also, you don't address what if Ableton doesn't interpret your tempo correctly and how to adjust for that.

[@yousuckatproducing]

yeah getting ableton to warp perfectly is tricky. I'll explain warping in detail in a future video

[@gutenman7112]

That utility tips are ssaved my song ! thanks Underbelly

move the transients to get a better warp. also switch beats to complex pro (under warp)

Thank you for this video, I am new to all of this, I just took the plunge and got a Launchpad S and a LaunchControl XL and I am really trying to learn this, I know I have the music in me, now I just got to figure out how to do it all. If possible can you do a video explaining how you do some of the simpler stuff, like expanding and contracting the wave form, what you click to set the markers. I know that people that know this are going to not care, but those of us out there that really want to know how to do it all would be grateful for it.

[@yousuckatproducing]

thank you so much for the support

[@piano25]

How do you quickly wave form zoom like that? You in and out really fast.Is it the way your scroll is configured?

[@omminnoremac]

The way that you just chopped that second sample to make it fit with the drum loop left it sounding pretty choppy. The second sample had a higher bpm than the drum loop, so each slice wasn't actually long enough to fill each slice of the drum loop. You really need to change the master tempo to that of the fastest sample or decrease the speed of the second sample.

[@SuicidePotatos]

omminnoremac could you tell me howto do that ? i've always had problems with tempo and warping

[@ZRock7771]

+SuicidePotatos you could try pitching one sample down (the faster one) or pitching the other sample up (the slower one) just,by a little bit make 1 st or a couple cents that should make.it sound less chopped, if that doesn't work use the complex or complex pro warping modes

[@axelnussbaumer]

+SuicidePotatos Use "complex pro", freeze track after you have it not sounding choppy, then bounce it to a new track and keep that one's warp mode in "beats" to not rob unnecessary CPU.

[@pedroribeiro596]

definetely use complex, what a gift it is
