Bounce Drum Rack to individual Channels?

Post by fuzz » Mon Feb 01, 2010 3:18 am

I am just learning ableton so go easy on me here......I took an audio loop and sliced to midi. Now I want to sort that drum rack into individual tracks so each hit is its own track. Whats the quickest way to do this?

I guess ultimatley what I want to achieve is using this loop but have each hit on its own channel as I am more comfortable that way.

open the rack in session view using the "inline rack mixer" (little triangle on track header), right click>extract chain(s) - you can use shift or command to do more than one at a time

Ok that definitley helped but in the loop some of the same sounds are used more than once so I have uneeded chains extracted any advice on how to handle those and retain the "loop" as if it were in the drum rack?

personally I prefer Group tracks (live 8) and often might start the patterns or loops in the drum rack, then extract them and put them in a group track, that way you can stll apply fx to all at once and group them together, but still have individual clips and mini scenes
