Goodness me, there's so much to live for. So many knobs and buttons, so much useful info. Thanks Underbelly! You've become one of if not my favorite music instructor I've found thus far!

[@yousuckatproducing]

no problemo Zhu

[@rhymshot8434]

Dope tut as always! Just one thing to min. 1:48: You could also map the volume control to one of your faders and then hit the MIDI button on the top right an click the arrow on the top left corner. There you can set the max. amount of your specific fader for instance to -6db. Then you could turn the fader on your MIDI controller all the way up and it won't pass that line. Just to let you know!

[@yousuckatproducing]

true that, very good tip. Will definitely have a video on midi mapping tricks soon.

[@alexsawyer7313]

Was gonna say the exact same thing!

[@andersingram]

great tip .. did not know that

[@EarleMonroe]

You suck slighty less at producing

[@osru_]

do you have an idiot proof guide to doing this? im a bit unsure what to do

[@ChineseBuddy]

You'd think Adsense was giving an extra dollar for every 'wowsers' said...Possibly the best music production channel tutorial channel on KZbin! Thanks! :-)

thanks man, i'll be sure to tap it with vigor

[@humanbeing_]

Dude. Your channel is pure gold.

[@anthi_]

Ok wowzers, from all the videos I've seen in your channel I found this one particurlarly useful. I'd love a whole "you suck at playing live" mini-series, or at least a second video on how to prepare a set of different songs in the same session, for example. Thanks, keep it up!

[@joybeats2425]

perfect timing! great alternative for those who don't got the handy dandy foot peddle on your other video on live looping. saved me time & money =) p.s. love your enthusiasm n humor when sharing these things!

[@Melltronster]

I love your content. Keep it up, proud of you.

Out of all the videos I watched, this made the most sense! Thank you :)

[@JuanSebastianPrieto]

This video never gets old

As soon as you played that Rhodes, I just sat back, and let you play out. This was money all the way. Keep it up👏.

[@LIA-mq4ci]

love everything about this vid

When he started speaking in tempo at 4:49 Great swing my man

[@syeoak]

I am an old Gen Xer that cut my teeth in analogue vinyl many moons ago. After painfully reviewing young millennial KZbin producer channels I found you. Thank Wowsers that satire is strong in your creative arsenal. Up there with your musical talents. Thanks for skipping the frills and getting to the point. I (now proudly) suck at producing.

[@ryanfrancis7058]

I love this channel man!

"you'll noticed that I've mapped the first five faders still attached to my controller" XD

[@LampGuitarDrawings]

learned more from these 9 minutes than the hours of other videos on looping.

Absolute awesomeness!

[@kerdum]

I love this dude!!

[@marcopepe4046]

Great video, really inspirational! Could you explain what does have you assigned (at 07:58 and 08:15) on the pad and what effect on the knobs for the repeated/pitched effects?

[@griefytrolly]

Oh man. I just realised, I suck at producing.

[@yousuckatproducing]

very good

[@jefflawrence6948]

That was wowzers, mother frickin impressive.

[@benjaminengelberg6847]

You can edit min / max values for midi controller mappings, so you can have the sliders max out at 0 dB instead of +6 dB.

[@MondoLoops]

Been recording guitar loops with mic and amp but just messed about with this tonight and man it's so much more versatile

[@bellagoldwinsfunhouse1244]

Your channel is awesome!

Wow nice... loving your tutorials man.

[@Williamskiz]

This is amazing

[@yousuckatproducing]

THANKS BRANDNDNDNENE

[@colinag6]

Hey just so you know instead of using the sends to control the volumes you can just map your faders to the regular faders and in the midi mapping you can set your faders to only go from negative infinity to 0db or whatever you want

[@DarlaBaltazar]

Hey thanks for this! Really informative. Wanted to ask what exactly was mapped on those knobs for the whole thing to stop and fade out at the end. Thanks!

[@Limberlumber]

I’ve been looking for decent guides. You had me at dingus. I’m listening....

[@LoLchilled09]

Is it possible to get that project file as a template or mind telling what the FX settings are?

[@nicolaslefebvre3622]

Your videos are lovely and very informative

thanks mayne

[@ok-lj9sg]

I really like you you help a lot. Thanks dude!

[@yousuckatproducing]

ok no problem

[@SimpleSouls]

That Rhodes sounds awesome, may I ask what do you use for it? Scarbee Vintage Keys or something else?

[@djDivineJustice]

When midi mapping you can take the max volume down to 0db from 6db, solving your clipping fader problem.

[@atom_jack]

you're talented my man

[@matt_robinson_]

You actually map the faders to the volume of your tracks and set the max to nominal instead of +6 , however this does look like a super sweet config for live looping.

[@ethanjones8888]

Hey, great video! How do you set your clips to automatically loop? And how do you ensure they loop for the proper amount of time? I often struggle to get it exactly in sync.

[@deg407]

This man hits a fat dab before every video I swear 😂 love these videos though.

[@erikgarcia7829]

I have a question! ✋🏻 How do you mapped those knobs to the loop/delay/reverb fx? Thnx for the best producing tutorials on yt!!

[@pgr-music]

just press ctrl + m for mapping

[@yousuckatproducing]

yup yup. If you go to audio effect racks in ableton there's a bunch of built in fx designed for easy midi mapping. check check it

[@tapehead81]

one of a few looping videos that I have stuck with to the end - now to try it for myself. Hope I manage it :) great video

[@saura_]

Really love you.

[@rohanjoseph101]

Loved this video, thanks a lot for the walk through! Can you please explain how you mapped the pad that corresponds to 'creating a new clip' on the first press + triggering it on a second press? This seems like such a fun setup to start creating right away!

[@rohanjoseph101]

Hey Underbelly just checking again to see if you can help with my question :)

[@schleronteron]

have the same question

[@Sinaszandbox]

Me too :/

[@dandvoracek8692]

You can easily assign exact values for your midi mappings just by pressing cmd m. That way you don’t need to use send levels to controll volume of individual tracks. Ableton is excellent for this, much faster (workflow-wise) than logic pro.

[@29jvskate]

awesome thank you! id love to see a video of you explaning how you set up your macro pads. :)

[@Lewis2145]

Thank you so much for this video!!

[@yousuckatproducing]

thx bb

[@crazyultrasam]

Awesome tut!!!!!!! Would love for you to do one on how too get started scratching

[@yousuckatproducing]

scratching vid coming soon

[@beec6420]

best upload

[@yousuckatproducing]

thank

[@YehudaKaminsky]

Wow! Amazing! Just a question: how do you do the looks it without “capture” function?

[@iveno_]

I use an RC505 for loops looking into other ways of looping my synth/ acoustic instruments, love your video makes me think of other ways of looping, this AKAI device only works with software?! Can I just use it as a loop machine? If not any other recommendations for loop machines? I really like how you just add FX to the track I can do that with the RC as well. Thanks again!

[@youcefbouzidi4103]

hey dude awesome vid ! i'm just beginning on Ableton and i wonder how is it possible to determine the lenght of the loop so that you don't have to press the stop rec button each time ?

[@thiagopinheiromusic]

You can place Utility plug ins -6db on each channel so the full range of faders is usable with no sends too.

[@Weewokk]

[@VJLasorsa]

Underbelly - what Ableton device are you using for your Fender Rhodes instrument? Is it an Ableton device or 3rd party... great vibes, one of my favorite channels

[@yousuckatproducing]

vst called lounge lizard

[@BIGBlank26]

Awesome video, glad I found your channel and yeah I really am a doofus for not watching all ur vids up untill now. Question: the Rhodes? Is it a plug in? If so than which one?

[@rodrigovillanueva5790]

Rhodes is a famous electric organ, so it's basically a standard sound. You can find it in almost all vst like Native Instruments or Kontakt, etc... keyboard workstations and keyboards. There are plenty online for free so just google free rhodes vst and you should be good to go!

[@BIGBlank26]

@@rodrigovillanueva5790 Yh i know the instrument i just wanted to know which specific VST is in this vid because these are really quality rhodes.

[@hybridsoul2]

W O W Z E R S. I'd like to adopt this as my 2020 exclamation of the year please.

[@xCartmanDavisx]

Wowzers, this was a great video!

[@MirrorMaze]

this is hilarious to watch, ive been referring to music as sandwiches for a while deadass LMAO as there are many layers that must compliment each other and be tasty but not overbearing. glad u see it the same way 😂

[@riktich]

Sick guitar

[@strinkovisualdesign5]

Ok dude, you're the best!

[@JDDavid]

Uhm, rather than using sends for each channel, you can instead set the range that the software fader will travel over the full range of your controller slider. It can max out at 0 dB if you want, -6 dB, -20 dB, whatever you want. It's in the MIDI mapping details. Maybe annoying that the default carries the software fader to +6, but if you ever used an analog mixer (less likely these days) you would have experienced that allowance for a little boost over unity gain, which may come in handy. Great video!

[@omarhoda9641]

Man, I've watched countless vids on this topic already. This is the one that actually made everything click! I didn't quite follow the Beat Repeat part. Did hitting the pad turn on the beat repeat, while the knob changed the pitch of that plug in? What exactly was the pad mapped to?

[@davidhallowell3457]

Very helpful. I’m betting you prefer the Akai controller to the Push2 ...but might you expand on the considerations and tradeoffs? I’m just beginning the search. Thanks!

[@stefanbean6486]

Hey man just to say that like instead of assigning your volumes to sends, when you go into midi mapping mode and open the effects/plugin side window on the left, you can set the Max value of you fader to 0dB instead of +6dB. Got an MPD32 as well so know what it’s like...

[@keypi111]

Hi, really liked your video. What is that Synth? Is it from Ableton's stock sounds?

[@smlpcollective4166]

Mapping the midi to bpm was genius. Going to add it in my workflow. Do you use a plug in for beat repeats, or is it something built in in Ableton?

[@yousuckatproducing]

i use the built-in beat repeat

[@smlpcollective4166]

Thanks mate.

Hi did you manage to make the same tamplate as his, i have the same mpd32 but i cant make this template with the red box and everything

[@BongoJak]

this video ROCKS!! thanks for posting!.... is there a way to have the BPM set after a loop? no click track (click record, click again for loop and set in that BPM)

[@joncollins4214]

Wowzers. Everytime

[@complecticmusic]

What effect was that second knob? Closed caption is telling me he's saying "shrimp with the leg on" and I just have a feeling that's wrong.
