Bruh; them drums are sounding RIGHT lol. Is that a loop or a kit? Maschine got good kits that are pretty convincing. I'm new to Ableton & I am digging the quality in the sounds 👍
Will, great tips/reminders as always. In terms of saving MIDI clips, I found a better way. Just drag the clip itself to any place in the Live Browser on the left. Not only is the MIDI information saved, but the actual instrument and chain you used too, with the file extension ALC. Later, you can click on that clip and can immediately preview the phrase with the original instrument/chain, rather than having to load or drag a "deaf" clip onto a track to hear its contents. As a bonus, I find this is the best way to save my favorite patches/presets of plug ins, because you can audition a decent phrase in the preview that showcases the character of the instrument. If you like it, you drag the clip onto a blank track, and the instrument chain and a good example are right there.
Really glad you liked it and thank you for the support! 🙏 Anything else in particular you’re struggling with and would like me to cover on the channel?
@EDMTips Right now I'm struggling with very basic stuff lol Like drawing in envelopes and effects to the tracks in transition mode? 😅 I am a noob.. I'm sure you have basics tutorials. I just need to go through your channel. Thanks though! I appreciate you asking!
@@EDMTips Thanks so much, it's a good program at a reasonable price point. Your videos are very well done, and I know they take a lot of behind the scenes work, but they are much appreciated by many.
notes keep on playing after its size in midi. how to stop that. i mean the sounds are sustaining beyond note length. this overlapse other sounds. please help
Worth remembering though; sometimes notes and chords outside of the scale your in are useful, and if used properly can produce some really cool sounding musical compositions.
@@lackadaisical0psimath I noticed that too, but creating something when you're tired and not concentrating properly, it's such a great tool to have in the arsenal.
Thanks. One question i still have. Copy e.g. the root-notes of a chord progression and put it 1 octave up or down "in one step". I do it marking them with the mouse and draging them with ALT to the new position. Whats your workflow for that? Cheers
Fantastic tips Will. It was great having what some of the functions I see but never investigated actually are and how to use them. And yes, I should RTFM :).
@@EDMTips If you could run the same kind of tutorial on Audio processing that would be great. Also, reverb - different types, when to se, how to set up the returns vs on-channel - that is something i struggle with. Love your channel - do much gold.
How do i keep the grid from changing say from quarter notes to 8th notes when inputing notes on the piano roll grid? Its so annoying inputting the notes and it randomly switching
I have a question. In the piano roll I want to pan individual midi notes but it seems that there isn't a pan option at the bottom where the velocity for the notes are. Am I missing something or is this not possible in Ableton?
Please can you help? My piano keyboard and guitar notes don't match with the Abelton keyboard. For instance E on my guitar and piano show as an 'A' on the Abelton keyboard... Can you help me get it to show as 'E' please?
It would be nice to have a Max for Live video tips from you! Just bought the Suite version and it has so much effects and other stuff! Would be interesting have a panoramic view (maybe which are the most useful packs) from an expert like you
guys I'm new to abelton 11....Im having a slight issue with navigating the grid in the key editor...it doesn't let me zoom out past 4 bars worth....Even if I select a 16 bar region in the arrangement view....Any ways round this? Its very hampering.
im using yamaha hs8s to listen to this and the last few videos i have been getting really high frequency transient artifacts from the mic! Idk if its only me but it is really distracting :(
@@mitchmarsili I’m glad I could make you laugh man, always happy to help others :D however, I want to see your evidence to “those who follow the herd think it is the daw that makes their songs beautiful”, as I’ve never seen this to be the case. I, for one, use ableton, and I’ve seen myself how amazingly the DAW inspires creativity and has a great workflow, and this aligns with the fact of how it is the most used DAW at the top level - it is at this level for a reason of course! Although, I have never once thought to myself - “I’m using ableton, and therefore my songs are all beautiful!” This is a very strange proposition indeed ;)
@@Atrionix I do not doubt that ableton is a good daw ... but on several channels I have noticed many ableton users tend to belittle other daw without even knowing them ... nothing personal my comment was not directly related to you, but it was my opinion in general ...Then it also depends on the genre you do
Te problem with playing with keyboard 🎹 midi is that the note duration is not same as with clicking with mouse. How to automatically normalise note duration after using midi keyboard?
Sad fact: I'm an ordinary teenager, I shoot good music content, or rather I play the piano. but no one is watching me, God bless those who have read this)

Hoping you got free upgrade to 12 🙌
Keep up these great Ableton tutorials and I might just have to switch back to Ableton From Protools and BitWig.

Useful tips thanks Will, the track was sonically pleasing is it available in its entirety anywhere ?
Mind blown.....thank you so much! (p.s. I tried Shift+Z to zoom out on a PC and it didn't work, not sure why though).
I knew a few of these but I have to say, that 'scale' thing makes it all so easy it feels like cheating...Just awesome.. Thanks for the tips..

big thx!
Hi!! I have a really curious question. When recording MIDI note + sustain, do you know how to keep the sustain and delete only the midi note?
I already subscribed and liked haha
thanks legend
You're welcome! 🙌🏻
Is that a real defuser in the background or green screen? Great summary.
A real diffuser
Awesome video! Keep it up! I learnt a lot.
You should do a "In the style of EBEN" (Specific song, My Decree) (Future Bass, Riddim).
Hi thanks for the tips! Do you have a new link for the download? I'm getting a 404 error when I click the link in the description. Thanks again!

How does one find out what scale they played in by ear?

The best DAW, used by most at the top in the industry :D

What version of Ableton is this?
Ableton 11
One question to tip 11 is there way to make the notes short. Say you have a Legato line but you want the notes all the same short length…
Highlight all and then hover over one near the end of the until the ] shows, you can then drag to shorten and shortening one will shorten all.
@@brianwdowling i know but this is tedious work. In fl you have a simple shortcut for that. I thought ableton has maybe something similar
Exactly

Fl Studio is so much better
What do you like most about FL?
@@EDMTips it’s intuitiveness and cleanliness. Piano roll is not for live instrumentations in ableton
these tips are great!!! thanks
