"they're gonna walk out the door and hit their elfbar" had me absolutely creasing

[@tiagodungo]

😅

[@thedvcor]

I lost all my midsides after that HAHA!

[@TrystanGreyvein]

Your videos never fail to make learning so fun

[@sehrtoericht3904]

I totally agree!

[@MegaYoyo911]

6:01 oh my God, THANK YOU! This video gave me 4 college lessons in 8 minutes ❤

[@willchorhotsoi]

0:12 'u wanna feel like u actually doing sth' that got me, i'll watch it all.

[@afill471]

Again, love the vibes in the making of these educational vids, its hard to find this laid back vibes with other creators, which is what makes you stand out. The other creators try to compete themselves by being extremely organized and explaining things in a professional manner. This content is exactly what I need because thats the teaching style Im looking for, real laid back, no one is rushing, but trying to train a new employee in 10 minutes without the feeling of it being all rushed, just the way I like it.

[@tom_something]

It makes sense that the quantization can't work if we're late because it can't go back in time and play it _before_ we pressed the button. But I wonder if some contingency options are available. A sort of pocket threshold. If you hit the note right before the grid, then obviously you meant for it to play on that next gridline. But if you're wayyyyy early, beyond the "pocket threshold", then the system could assume that you're late, and then you could configure the desired behavior for late hits. Presumably the most popular choices would be "just play it now and don't quantize, as I'd rather be a little late than on the completely wrong beat" or "don't play that note at all, it'll sound better without it".

[@toshanjames9589]

i wonder if you can use some sort of side chain from the drum track where the midi note click happens to pressed note when beat signal is found and no retriggering occurs until key is lifted

[@toshanjames9589]

you can use the arpeggiator for this by settings steps to 0 and gate to 200% and the beat syn to 1/4 or 1/8 note, this way it always triggers on bead subdivision and the gate being 200% allows for the note to not keep getting retriggered

[@ItsWesSmithYo]

I’ve learned to count “and” on 1/8 notes 😂🖤

[@tidusandjecht10]

exactly what I was thinking too. Hope theres an easy way to do this. Im sure theres A way cuz its max and can do basically anything.

[@hollowgroundproductions]

Wowzers, Underbelly. Your video stuff is wonders and happiness! Boy oh boy, do I wish i had access to this tutorial back when i was creating MY live performing music stuffs. 👍 🇮🇪.

[@prodbreeze]

This is one of those videos that make you realize how powerful Ableton really is.

[@Violant3]

I learned so much from you man, it's really a gift that you put all this Ableton content for free on KZbin, something that I would totally pay for, appreciate you!

[@LegendaryPlz]

im touching myself to this video

[@mr.mustard8803]

Jokin' buddies???

[@RealmsOfThePossible]

I'm touching myself wondering about you touching yourself watching this video.

[@Dahlia.Duhhhh]

Real

[@90degreeAngledLegs]

I pooped in a gym sock

[@ifiwantyoutofeel]

deadpool that you

[@azaleajanemusic]

Love that you're still making content! I'm getting back into Live and thinking about using it for performance, so I needed this. I love the on/off automation on the dummy clip. I'm going to use that!

[@AromaticCrass]

This is the exact thing I needed to start performing all in 1 video, my god you have saved my life forever(again)

[@drvl7n]

Thank you for not saying intuitive workflow not once lol. Any video that explains things this straight forward should get a youtube award. This was perfect lol.

[@TimCanfer]

Love it! Core content for my performance module thanks!

[@ItsWesSmithYo]

Love it, among your other videos, this one re-inspired me for like the 4th time to take a crack at session view. Happy 2025 🤙🏽🖤

[@disobeats]

right, im performing on the radio in 2 months and ive never performed, the grind starts now

[@BreakdanceBoy2006]

Always wondered how this works, thanks belly

[@nkogliaz]

Live Pa / Djing / Producing 30 years now, came for the jokes / trolling, was not disappointed, legend

[@J.F.Sebastian69]

Bro this channel is fkkn solid gold

[@TonyJuanPailos]

How did you know I searched for this literally yesterday, you, you, spy

[@michaelkl3382]

haha same for me

[@darbymcbride41]

Most info dense than anything I've seen so far. Thanks for not gate keeping.

[@nsgmusic]

bro's music is fire

[@ramizian]

Me watching accurately this video because I'm live performing outside this Friday 💀

[@СергейСавчук-м7щ]

Wowzers! Good luck btw

[@ramizian]

@@СергейСавчук-м7щ thanks 🥹😶‍🌫️

[@ramizian]

​@@СергейСавчук-м7щ Thanks 🥹😶‍🌫️

[@DohertyMusic]

How did it go?

[@shabrashabr710]

Haha, im live performing at the end of this month. A bit scary, how was it?

[@MrFrigid247]

An educator and an amazing performer! I did NOT need to hit my elfbar after this one!

[@everyonesalama4447]

This is godly knowledge to share xx

[@natasha_moreno_22_23]

DEFTONES TSHIRT AAAAAA I LOVE UUUU

\m/

[@lavenderllamamusic]

Now i can get a lil closer to performing sets similarly to Daft Punk and Justice!

[@xitau2151]

would be very cool to see you prep a track for live performance on a stream or something!

[@keithforsythe2657]

Yes! Show us the track prep work please! Also how do u deal with tempo? Are you following global and automating the changes?

[@YoutubeUser2013lol]

Funny and informative as always, Underbelly.

[@sassfolk]

Very helpful. Thanks!

[@AJlopez-i4q]

oh my friend you are truly sensational! This tutorial helped me a lot in several things that I haven't yet mastered about Ableton, could you make more videos about live act? I would really appreciate it, I follow you from Brazil. I would like to know how you indicate the groups in the red box. Could you recommend a purchase link for the apc 40 mk2? please

[@Targus28]

Wowzers!! Have a great day too!

[@jsonslim]

Oh yeah, thanks Underbelly! I had my live performance a couple days ago, and I had a hard time trying to figure out how to use the headphones cues

[@lyhe5252]

Thanks so much for this! This is the best explanation of a live performance set I've seen so far. Is there a chance you provide a template for this live setup?

[@brainbox9219]

Wow just what I needed, you can do no wrong!

[@abracas2719]

You are awesome!

[@NotFine]

Thank you for this video Live performace is probably my favorite thing as a beginner musician, so this is gonna help alot

[@davefellows]

That's pretty cool, some nice ideas here.

[@sufios]

0:56 the lick detected

[@PoppipStudio]

Incredible value in this video, thanks a ton !!

[@trockee]

thanks for this !! been trying to get a live set going

[@dubiiitch]

Thank You!

[@onlyrealnumber]

This is automation done right. The riskiest I've ever done live is beatmatching vinyl. I might have to dust off the weighted 88 key midi pianee and carve up some old tracks.

[@banarasi_sangeetkar]

Loved this. Thank you my man!

[@Bellathedrummer]

great video thanks for the knowledge!

[@mariofuiano9024]

Useful, especially the input /output bit, although I'm not sure of how this would apply to a techno liveset perhaps that focuses more on developing a few synth sounds over time than playing melodies.

[@maquinadosomcwb]

Great tutorial. Thanks!

[@maokus]

Learnt so much from the random shit he does in between the important stuff. WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN FAST FORWARD IN ABLETON????

[@Jameselcome_303]

great stuff - very funny too!

[@nameparalysis]

me watching this knowing I'll probably never perform my music, but saving just in case 😹

[@itsdjasekai]

Just in time for me wanting to learn live performance😂😂

[@LeeDH22]

APC 40 MKII for the win

[@colin-amicon]

some good old fashioned pressing play

[@russ_sibbison]

Another excellent tutorial!

[@jonnywoodbeast4306]

Wowzers!!

[@Meaure]

Amazing job dude!!!

Please make a video how to build that template ❤

[@Melsh0rtC4K3]

I got recommended this guy on reddit 😭

amazing!

[@martintasevski7003]

Cool video, had to watch it 0.75x to catch everything 😅

[@Targus28]

They gonna leave the club and hit the elf bar😂

[@michaellovci3163]

Turn. Them. On.❤

[@clenzy2306]

3:10 i swear that is the SOM from all star

[@c4rol88p]

youre funny and smart}}thank you

[@otonomimusic]

i’m confused do the tracks in the instrument rack actually contain programmed MIDI that’s being played - what’s the function of playing them then? or what exactly is being automated and what is this dummy clip? thanks!

[@mordecoco2371]

excellent video (:

[@nunomaltez79]

i want to do that but i suck at producing and can only press play on clips :)

[@DaveSchulze]

Except we can’t get the APC40 Mk2 anymore, correct? Thanks for the video though. Performing w Live is a dark art.

[@dollabeats95]

bro how do u keep getting funnier

[@wes_the_scifi_guy]

[@jirkakouba7087]

Are all your songs in the same tempo or can you change the bpm based on the clip that is playing?

[@fabianwolf6849]

Global quantization and a knob mapped to the song tempo is a method. Set the limits to the BPM you need, cuz the range will otherwise be absurd and you'll change the bpm in 0.01 steps. There's a script option that works way better, but involves basic coding knowledge and a lot of dummy clips. Let me see if I find the name, cuz it's literally just a free GitHub download or sth... brb

[@fabianwolf6849]

ClyphX is what you need, bro.

[@yousuckatproducing]

90% of the set was the same bpm, for the last two songs I set the bpm on the scene so that when I triggered the scene the whole set automatically jumps to the right tempo

[@fabianwolf6849]

Edit: [QUESTION!] Do I simply mix to my liking and feed the FOH the stereo output as if the PA were just my studio monitors? Insight of people with more live performance experience needed dearly. Thanks in advance! ✌️😑 vvv --- [OC] --- vvv The heck? Just this morning (GMT+1, Berlin) I was searching for a video like this and didn't find anything useful. And now there's this? The fuck is this coincidence?!

[@ilker_kadioglu]

EASYYYYY

[@xxxent]

wowzerss!!! :0

[@aarondavidson6409]

this dude would be the best and worst housemate ever

[@progfoxmusic]

Can anyone confirm for me if you are better off automating your instrument rack on and off to save on cpu? I was under the impression that whatever plugins aren't being used in the rack would pretty much be inactive, so I currently run all of my set patches through one rack rather than having 1 rack per song etc.

[@iVideo1011]

what is the song at 1:43 ?

[@ltzoef]

bro but what if u dont play an instrument :o i do soundscape stuff (might just be the wrong place) and i got the apc40 and a midi keyboard. wondering how i can avoid static play pressing besides some live modulation good video tho

[@veronicamusiic]

i love u

[@TacticalClay]

i love youtube algorithm

[@michielvansteenhoven7255]

how does your CPU still hold up with all these instances of serum and other vst's in the project?

[@yousuckatproducing]

most plugins are turned off most of the time
