I've watched a lot of ableton tutorials and a ton of them give me analysis paralysis as a beginner. the pacing is usually really slow and dragged out before randomly speeding up or cutitng to a window/effect without explaining how they got there. as much as you did an amazing job explaining how to do what you showed throughout the video i felt like you also gave me the tools to play around and experiment on my own after watching the tutorial. Legitimately the best one i've seen. thanks so much
Why did you choose Audio track for the Clap? No piano roll control like the MIDI tracks, so why not just have them all as MIDI tracks? What are the benefits / differences of putting the drum as Audio / MIDI? Thanks!
Thank you so much! What an awesome tutorial. Liked and subbed and I am going to check out your other vids now, once I finish the rest of this one. But, one thing I didn't get here, why did you start at 9 and go to 13? Why not 1 thru 4? Do you leave 1-8 empty for a place to "sketch" in an intro later? Kind of like a notepad space or something? THANK YOU!
Thanks Matt enjoyed this alot. I've taken it back to basics as I've gotten a little lost with music making recently so now it's just me my keyboard & mouse. I'm going to try & develop this further with maybe some simple bits like chord stabs & a vocal or something. One question is there a reason why you went with this approach rather than throwing everything into a drum rack, or a simpler on each channel? just curious!!
thank you i followed the instructions and made a beat now how do i export it all to midi, so i can add it to my looper (with the boss rhythm converter)
Good tutorial, I know ableton is really in-depth to what it can do but this seems really complicated just to make a simple beat. I use komplete and Maschine and I can literally do this drum pattern in minutes. There’s no need to touch the computer it’s all on the screens of the hardware.
I'm sorry, but this takes WAAAAY too long. The same 4-bar loop can be created using the step sequencer in FL STudio or ReDrum in REASON. Takes about 2 minutes. Every sound can be pitched, tone adjusted and volume controlled. Try doing this in Ableton in the same amount of time. IMPOSSIBLE! Why is Ableton such a drag when it comes to creating beat patterns??? Why can't they incorporate a step sequencer?
I'm pretty new to things, but I thought ableton's main feature was being able to record and loop live, and it arranges it as you do it. Does fruity loops do this too?

totally agree
@@milobvideos Exactly they start out slow then suddenly go a million miles an hour he actually didn't speed up too much
This is one of the most well explained and easy to follow Ableton videos I have watched so far. Thank you.

Good tutorial
VERY HELPFUL, Why the hi-hat is in Audio track and not in Midi track?
drums scare me dude. this was literally the easiest tutorial ive tried to follow yet. i have a much better understanding now, thank you.
thank you
i followed the instructions and made a beat
now how do i export it all to midi, so i can add it to my looper (with the boss rhythm converter)
Hey Matt lets say I have a samplepad, alesis 4. how can i use the drumsoundlibrary from ableton to play those sounds on my pad?
lets get it
