Ableton Forum

Hi there! Thanks for this great course. I've now watched all the videos and I have to say that although I am already working a lot with loops for years now I could still get a huge load of new ideas out of this pack. Aditionally, the methods you are teaching are very efficient – as a result I am now ...

Very helpful! Cheers and thanks for posting this.

Hi there!

My recommendation for you is here: http://www.quantizecourses.com - it's a U.K. based online music school specialised in Ableton Live and I am really convinced of their concept. It won't cost you a fortune like other online schools however you get dedicated, personal feedback videos. You ...

Hi there! I have to agree with sigabort - I'm also convinced from what Quantize Courses has to offer. I've been doing two 8 week courses there and still today I sometimes go back to the personal feedback videos I received and re-watch them. It's incredible how much you learn in a short period of time.

So here it is, the new project from minimal producer Alexander Sting and myself. We basically locked ourselves into the studio for some days without any idea what would come out.

A techy, glitchy, minimal track with some clear jazz influence developped. We were unsure if those drum solo parts would ...

Better use of system resources!

If Live was 64bit on a Mac and if the biggest known bugs were fixed ("of of memory" issues, software crashes, a clean and always working audio buffer, correct phasing behaviour, beat repeat bugs), I would be willing to pay money even without getting a single new ...

Hi everyone,

sorry for being a bit spammy today but I'm very excited about this project and I thought it's worth sharing it here.

It was on an Ableton Live community about one year ago where I met Belgium based indie electro producer, live act and guitar player lucky one for the first time. When ...

Hi everybody,

I just found a cool little video that explains the Ableton Live Beat Repeat really well:

http://www.quantizecourses.com/pages.php/?cat=3

I've always been struggeling with the effect and never really understood each of the parameters – so when I found this video today, I thought I'd ...

I've been working a lot with the Auto Filter recently but I never used the envelope or the "quantize beat" function so this video was really helpful for me to get a better understanding about not just a few but *all* the different parameters. The best thing is that it shows a cool practical example ...

You'll want to make sure that the transient markers really sit on the transients. Often times, Ableton does not really put the markers to the start of the transient - as a result your extracted groove will sound odd. It can be quite hard to put the transient markers right on complex material but it ...

I recently bought speakerphone 2 from audio ease. It's not just a leslie but a really great convolution effect plugin. However, the leslie they include is by far the best I've listened to so far. http://www.audioease.com/Pages/Speakerp ... phone.html

I'd like to add that you do want a high quality version of the original record in order to sample it. A 44,1khz wav or aiff is way better than an MP3 so it's not advisable to download anything from the web and sample it. If, however, you are going for a particular "old fashioned" effect, you may ...

Hi there!

About a year ago I did some research on this subject as well and although all of those courses you mention are well known, there are other - and maybe better - possibilities for you to consider. As mentioned above, this will hugely depend on the style of music you make.

If you're into ...

Hi there!

I was in the same situation some months ago - just had discovered Ableton and fell in love with the idea to make my own music. Yes, there are lots of tutorials on the web and I think it is a great start for anyone to get going in the software.

However, if you are serious about music ...

Okay, it was a stupid error by myself. I had a high quality eq running (vst plugin) and as I wanted the best sound, I turned it to linear phase mode - this introduced the heavy delay and could be easily removed by setting the plugin to its normal mode.
So again, it was the user in front of the ...
