As an oldhead of 57, I'm a bit slow on the uptake, so I like simple and direct explanations. With my interest in live looping recently been piqued, I've been tooling around for helpful videos. This video is outstanding in its clarity and simplicity. Rachel, you rock. Thanks so much. Keep creating magic!

Side chain compression just clicked for me. I learned how side chaining works a couple months ago but didn't realize how institutional it was to the effect I've been hearing and wondering about for years! That performance was also really cool, it's great to see someone blend all of this analog and digital skill together so organically.
Rachel is my favourite musician discovery of the year. Such a gutsy producer with nasty synth sounds, wicked rhythms and an amazing voice! I found her on Andrew Huang's "4 artists, one synth" video. Rachel you are an inspiration! Evident here is your talent at clear communication. Love your speaking voice too.
I first saw this tutorial a year ago, when completely new to Ableton. I appreciate it so much more now, having experimented with some live looping myself. It's such a well-constructed demo, with new concepts introduced with each track. Thank you, Rachel and Ableton, this is valuable learning material.
great video for beginners and was also enjoyable from the perspective of an experienced user. always nice to see the way others take on livelooping in ableton. gives me ideas to potentially add into my workflow. nice job
She´s a killer combination of great vocalist, cool experienced keyboardist, technically oriented and super stylish and elegant. There are not so many people on planet Earth :) Well of inspiration
Well thought out rig...minimal and expansive at the same time. Well done Rachel. I especially love that you present in such a modest and humble way...makes you so much more credible. Great soundsmith! Excellent song too!
Really happy to see Ableton do these insightful collabs with a lot of my favorite musical youtubers! Seeing their workflow is cool because it makes us see there’s different ways to things than the way we usually do them.
Every time I see a video with Rachel K Collier, I walk away convinced that she's a musical genius and that everyone else should just pack it up and go home. I don't even use Ableton. It's just interesting watching insanely talented people work.
Thank you so much Ableton and RKC for this PHENOMENAL tutorial, i cannot wait to commence my journey, this video gave me such a great foundation in understanding things I didnt even know how to research (huge imogen heap and james blake fan) looking forward to supporting RKC as an artist now that ive discovered her :) health and growth to all
As a new producer who has been so overwhelmed with YT tutorials and expensive courses, this is by far the best tutorial I have ever seen. If Ms. Rachel has a master course, please sign me up!
Huge fan of the music, this is not only a fantastic track but the production quality of the demo is top notch. Super brave to show people what's behind the Wizard's curtain. My only complaint is that it wasn't a 17-minute version of the song ;)
Amazing! I’ve learned more from your short video than tens of hours of trawling ableton on TH-cam, nice work Rachel, simple to understand instructions, but you’ve opened up so much, thank you!
Thanks Rachel. You're a breath of fresh air for all women that would love the tech aspects of music. Thanks for simplifying and showing us how to make use of Abelton's music software and hardware. Cheers 💝 Love.
Ableton live is one of the most flexible daw constructors, it is self-sufficient and functionally straight out of the box, "All in the box", but it would be VERY handy to have the following amenities in Suite: lynier and dynamic option of EQ8 (Must have) Comping, guys, 2020 year. We need it in 10.2 Pitch correction (has even daw which costs 200$, (logi), (cub) stud.one and even FL=D) / ARA2 support MPE support MULTIBAND FX'er (Like in BWS, Stud.one... You can create it in ableton, but it should be native) A native LFO tool. And a much more flexible one than the M4L one that comes with Live Suite. (and indeed it would be useful to add another plugins) Group freeze (would be nice, but not critical) map SOLO button in chain. Group and hide RETURN tracks. (Buses), => no limits on return tracks. Native Loudness meter device. (LUFS, RMS) / integrated LUFS meter in ableton Limiter. Easy and useful. Add a more flexible process of waveshaping with the ability to modulate from the volume level. We want Ableton to be the “Lego constructor” for creating anything else, right up emitting analog sound! full-fledged fullscreen disabling velocity sensitivity in midi keyboards! Thank you very much for your attention! I really hope to see some of the functions in 10.2 p.s www.reddit.com/r/ableton/comments/gj1w8l/ableton_live_102/
If it just had vocal comping, pitch correction, and proper hardware for arrangement/tracking, using Ableton wouldn't be such a hassle to actually do complete projects and finish them. Don't know why they don't have keyboard shortcuts (especially tracking/arrangement) labeled and built into Push pads. I'm supposed to memorize all that crap like I'm a child playing a video game, ...and have a keyboard in the way? Come on!
Hey dude- it’s not all about the fixed length- I actually did loads of this stuff before I had the fixed length button - but there are other ways you can do this plus other midi controllers that have this function - don’t let that one workflow thing hold you back !!!!!!! Xxx
Hi Rachel, I found your presentation so calm and well thought out, very well organised. As a total newbie, I'm so grateful to now understand the concepts of what you are doing with each piece of equipment. Thanks for the clear explanation. I realise that I need something even more basic. Can you recommend a course that's for absolute newbies? Many thanks for your time.
Nice job. Details left out: Definitely has an external mixer. Probably 16 channel. Running stereo pairs into the mixer. The Cue out on 7&8 routed to her headphones on the mixer. The mic she is using for presentation is on a separate external mixer channel. Everything that you hear is recorded to an external device, like a mini Tascam or Zoom digital recorder. The PUSH is only used for play/record/undo, though it could do much more. There is one MIDI track, the kick. You could add many more MIDI tracks and play them with PUSH. Also, Looper would be a great addition here.
@@wizerd2089 I guess her mic is running straight into the interface and using the pre's in that. Like the post above says the live Looper would be helpful here, but also there's so many different ways of doing things in Ableton. I think sometimes keeping things in separate visible clips like this is much easier to manage that using loopers live. In terms of the audio routing, some soundcards don't require you to do it all through sends. I'd just send each channel out to it's stereo out - and then in focusrite control just select what I want to go to headphones. Really great run through of set up though, and actually showing settings and details is super useful and interesting. More please.
Thank you so much Rachel Your so clear! Can you tell me how to program the length to to bar if I don't have a midi pad like You? At the 3:40? Thank you!!!
Hi Rachel, I've been following you for a long time and I totally admire you. I want to thank your tutorials since they have been a lot of learning for me. I also really admire your musical work. I will love your opinion in my videos since I am just starting with live looping and although I need a lot of practice, publishing live video forces me to improve. *Once again thank you very much for the inspiration. I love you*
Wow, this is one of the better examples of how to use Live to it's fullest. Thank you Rachel! I'm no where near this, but will be referencing this in the future as I grow into using Live in this manner. My current recording methodology is more ol' school multi-tracking playing each instrument start to finish. But this definitely opens up greater possibilities. KD
Thank you for this. I recently upgraded from an RC-505 into an Ableton/Push2 system and this will help a lot. One question . . . In performance do you have a separate session file for each song?
@John Johnson Yeah I mean, it's not really that less 😂 but if you put it in perspective, so many other pros use a lot more equipment, so this feels like a minimalistic setup.
Me watching at 3:29 - "I thought I was pretty well up on digital music recording jargon, but 'golfball and cinnamon stick'... it'll be interesting to learn more about that." Me watching at 3:55 - "Oh."
hey thanks for that great tutorial :) One question: how do you default your clip length while playing live? the golf ball stops after 2 bars and directly plays back... Is this only possible with Push?
had the same issue, jsut found it out: key-map the session-record-button, thats the 2nd record button from the left. and then activate the pre-counter aswell for 1 bar; each time u want to start recording u press on the mapped key, when u want to stop click on it again and it replays it.Also check that your global-launch-quantisation is on one bar, for general purposes. cheers ! :3
Thank you much for sharing the incredible music technology that has evolved for past 10-20yrs. As a performer, u still have to put everything together, practice and give an incredible show. 😎🥰
Maybe I missed this but never got how she combines all the outputs into the master to send to Front of House. She has dedicated physical outs for each bus rather than using the master (set to 1/2 out). Is she mixing externally from Ableton? Also the Synth was also set to Out 1/2 - same as master which is confusing. Otherwise nice overview.
Amazing! but i got a question: how set up the clips in every chanel to "record + play" after 1 bar? Its a push´s function or maybe its possible without this? Thanks!

There's a button on the Push named Fixed Length, which lets you predetermine the clip length. I don't think it's possible without it. However, you could predetermine loop length with Ableton's Looper device, using dummy clips and envelopes, but it's not as convenient as using clips.
@@macpaz fixed length option allows you to record a clip with a specific number of bars but without creating the clip before recording or without the needing of hitting the stop button when the loop is about to end.
@M P most of the others that are not drag and drop loop oriented , that allow to record live instruments ( Comping , Melodyne ... ) easily while being able to handle a lot of plugins ( CPU consumption in Live is a disaster ) and a low latency . As a pre production tool live is ok but bitwig is getting better

Hi, how do you get the clip to record for 4 bars, and then continues to play without stopping it?
it's a feature of ableton push called Fixed Length - it will automatically stop recording and start playing a clip after a 'fixed length'

Yeeees, any thoughts in how to do that?
Same problem, I think this is how they get people to buy it, it becomes mandatory when you get to a certain level
Could you explain what you mean by that?
@@macpaz fixed length option allows you to record a clip with a specific number of bars but without creating the clip before recording or without the needing of hitting the stop button when the loop is about to end.
Use the Novation Launchpad Pro MK3 instead which is only half the price of the Push 2.
Very nice presentation, technique, explanation... and wonderful music! Thank you Rachel and Ableton. :-)
I didn't see you stop the recording ever; how did live determine how many beats/ bars each recording would be?
same question
At 3:38 she sets a fixed loop length, all the loops are 2 bars long.
You could also midi map a foot pedal or other control to the "Session Record Button" to stop recording and launch the clip any time you like.
