well crap, I guess I'm stuck making breakcore for the foreseeable future. Fun stuff, thanks!

Don't forget about freesound, very hit-or-miss, but lots to check out:

good brass sounds can be a bit more of an effort!

^ Yes, definitely also that!

The "user library" is your Ableton Live library, that doesn't have anything to do with your third-party plugins. Instead of going to the library tab, go to the file/folder tab in preferences, make sure that "use vst plugins system folder" and (if on mac) "Use audio units&quo...

Hi, you need to make one clip of the length you want, and open up the clip launch section (google: "ableton clip launch mode" if you're confused by this) then, set the follow action to "Next" and the duration for however long your clip is. (google: "follow actions" if y...

I also have the problem of trying to live up to the expectations of my pears, but they are just so succulent and juicy, I fear I may never achieve that dream. I guess what I'm saying is: a. Great article, good insights, thanks for that. b. You have a typo (peers vs. pears) c. I am on a forum, tellin...

^ That, I also have a bad tendency of starting from a blank slate every time I sit down to make music instead of trying to build on ideas I've already got going!

Hey, for sample start this is really easy, just select one sample in the mapping editor, and go into the wave editor, and set your sample start/loop settings, then select ALL the samples in the wave editor, making sure that the one you edited has focus i.e. has a bold yellow outline in the mapping e...

^same, rewire it to Live sometimes, but I've got 6.5, and it seems like they've slowed development on new instruments and effects since Rack Extensions, so there's really not much they could do at this point to entice me with workflow improvements!

What are you trying to achieve exactly? just more randomness to the modulation? you could maybe try something like modulating the offset of the first lfo with a second lfo, not sure if it would have exactly the same effect, but might do something similar?

You need the full version of live, Instrument Racks aren't editable in lite!
