In this episode of Figure It Out, I show the EASIEST way for me to sample using the Time Warp function in Ableton Live and how I chop samples using the slice to new midi function in Ableton Live.

Thanks for this. Was helpful and gave me some new ways to look at ableton and music writing.

Song :: I Recognize Her

There is not much to this one. Was exploring some elements with Massive. Maschine, and then finally Ableton. This is another thing that I sat on forever, so really just want to be done with it I think.

Song :: Still Not Satisfried

This is a song of happy accidents again.

Also one, that started with a whole bunch of steam, and kind of petered out. I have started my usual process of sitting on a song, so I am releasing it today, just to be done with it.

So, was trying to find an effective means of practicing a muted thumb technique on the bass guitar, and the bass line came from that. The chords came next. When I began to put this into ableton, the melody elements was the first accident. Saving the file was the second. The percussion bits were the third. All of these in a row.

Drums I feel needed more work. I am not happy with the sounds, but again I need to stop sitting on songs.

The guitar parts were all played straight into Ableton through my PreSonus interface. I have had the 22VSL for some time now and I have been happy with it. Especially its portability. That has come in handy quite a few times.
