drum tips in ableton

Thank you to Beat Academy once again.

I use the velocity trick often to try and humanize drums a bit more, but I did not know about the second portion that allows you to dial up the sensitivity of the velocity slider. Awesome!

The drag and drop within the drum rack was very cool.  Then being able to right click and reverse the sample is pretty killer.  I will save myself on so many extra tracks I create for a quick reverse like this. Sweet. 

Send and returns in the drum rack. Excellent. Thank you.

Sound Forge - How to Record Audio

Thanks for this. It has been quite a few years since I looked at Sound Forge.  While I thought not much had changed, it seems some things have.  It did take me a minute to realize, you can not have any windows open when you want to change your preferences.

Ableton :: Evolving Pads in Wavetable

Thanks for this video!

I very much like how you went into more detail about why you made such choices.  The explanation between high and low settings for various settings was great.  Moving the slider so you could hear it, and giving some words to it.

How To Make Slap House Bass In Ableton Live Wavetable

Thanks to :: Rudram

Used this to create a bass used in part of an upcoming song called "Deep Groove" by 31ric. I liked how the bass cut through on it's tone in his track, but was going to target mine to be a little brighter sounding. This video led me to put some variation in the original sound. It was a good video to get started with twidling the knobs a bit. He does not go into why he is setting things the way that he is though. 

I got a lot more out of this video, by ignoring the values he was setting, and worked towards something that worked better within my song. 

The very quick bit at the end with the saturator was a nice little tip for me as well. I threw that on both basslines and it perked them right up. I have found a new effect to play with for a minute.

Thanks to :: Dowden Production Academy

The random tip in here was great! Thanks very much for that. Added to the instrument, and the other bass sound, and it added just that little bit of variety.

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

Mr. Bill

I have just discovered Mr. Bill the artist, and his you tube channel has quite a few Ableton videos on how to get better, so I am looking forward to the next track where I can incorporate some of these.

So there is a new installment of the plugin roundup and the music radar websites. Also this week, a great producer video, many articles on the Nirvana Nevermind album, and some old tales about Hendrix. Check it out.......

Looking for some Melodic development.......?

So our friend Janek has a new bass lesson available for everyone. Hurry up, as this one probably will not be around for too much longer.

A great lesson for newer and old bassists to watch and take in. Janek gives some good ideas of how he goes about his practice regime, and coming up with ideas to use later in his solos and bass lines. You don't need his pedal to do the looping, just get your favorite DAW software, or just record yourself with audacity and just play it back over and over.

Come and Get it........

and get it while you can.....

Janek has a new bass lesson a triads, but it is only available for the next 24 hours.
