Bro, I'm in college for music production, and I've learned more in an hour from you than I have all year in school. You're awesome! Thank you for this video!
Man what an awesome video and still as relevant in 2021 as 2014. I was building sections of the song in Session View and then recording into Arrangement view. I think this is a much better approach.
Hi, just a thought... It would be great if you could upload a video clip of you playing this song with the full band so we can hear what the end result is. Thanks for all the info and direction.
Thanks David! We are always working to make more helpful training videos. Subscribe to our TH-cam channel for more and let us know if there's something you would like to see us make a video for!
this is a fantastic tutorial resource. do you have this as an offline file? I'd like to watch it over again outside but without using bandwidth. thanks
Matt mentioned getting the tamborine samples from sound park. I was unable to find them on there. Could you post link or what they are titled on sound park?
How would you introduce this set up to your team, when only the drummer uses headphones, the rest use stage monitors, could the cues be turned down do that they can only be heard by musicians, and hear the rest of the track as if it was another instrument.
So u are recording everything in midi track form, can I record it in audio track form and then change the sound of the instrument? I'm new, thx in adcance
that is exactly the difference between midi and a wave form. You can't change the sound of a recorded instrument - of course you can process it, like changing the eq, putting reverb on it etc but you can't make a piano sound like a trumpet. That is the beauty in recording midi, midi data just contains the note, the velocity and when the note starts and ends. The computer now puts any sound you want in that place. I know its late, but i hope this still helps :D
This is a Great video! I'd like to build on top of the actual track like this but I'm having a hard time getting my music from apple music into Ableton. Anybody know a good solve for this?
Double check that you've got the tempo mapped correctly in Ableton. If it is getting out of sync, the click may be not perfectly lined up to the grid, or there may be changes in tempo within your audio sample.
What do I do when the click doesn't stay on beat the whole song? I'm working on a song right now that isn't staying with the click the whole time. I know I'm on the right tempo but half way through it gets off. What should I do?
In Ableton it's typically a good idea to have your click in a separate channel and built to a Drum Rack. When you bring a backing track into Ableton don't warp it (Ableton automatically does this) set it to it's own audio channel. After that open a new MIDI track and select Drum Rack, if you need help on how to operate a Drum Rack I'm sure there are plenty of youtube tutorials on how to do it. In Drum Rack load up a couple of samples of Click Noises after clearing any pre-existing sounds and have them count off the way you want to (draw in the notes on every quarter note, inflections are up to you). After you've got the click noises set up take a look at your master track, right click on whichever scene you're looking at and you should have an option to adjust the tempo, set it to whatever BPM your backing track is set to and this will automatically set Ableton's metronome to THAT tempo. Ableton will automatically loop the MIDI region with the click sounds in it and your backing track should play along with it after you press play on the master track (the play arrows that show up on the right side of the screen). If the next backing track is at another BPM just press the play button on the master track that your next backing track is set to after opening up another MIDI region in Drum Rack that has the same click sounds, Ableton will keep up with you on the changing BPM's. Hope this helps!

Excellent! Well explained to a worship leader trying to get their head round midi and loops for the first time. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Are you making basically a piano loop that people can download through that Loop website?
this is a fantastic tutorial resource.

+LoopCommunity.com Are there typically no guitars on loop community tracks?

cant find any tambourine sounds in soundpark?
How do you download the Massive plugin? I like the sounds you used.
You can get this synth from Native Instruments by visiting their website at www.native-instruments.com/en/. Fantastic soft synth!

how can we get that same type of cues you are using, (Cues Fast & Cues Slow) or are those custom cues you created for yourself?
This is a Great video! I'd like to build on top of the actual track like this but I'm having a hard time getting my music from apple music into Ableton. Anybody know a good solve for this?
If you have access to the audio file directly, you should be able to drag it right into your Ableton session!
How did you get that ping pong effect? I love it!
Look for the effect in Ableton called "Ping Pong Delay" and that will be a great place to start!
where can i get those midi cues?
Does anyone know how to do this with garage band? And have the separation of sections?
When you make loops or sounds do you normally go by the Tempo or more like the rhythm
Tempo!
I seen adding a cue track. What’s the process of adding an audio click track?
Hey Bruce, here is a video on how to create a click track in Ableton Live! th-cam.com/video/NrOuUY9d84A/w-d-xo.html
I couldn't understand where you got the band cues from. Thanks
Hey Richard! You can purchase them from our website for $4.99. Loopcommunity.com/shop
Thank you!
what happens If the songs goes off beat I am having a hard time bringing the tempo back in line
Double check that you've got the tempo mapped correctly in Ableton. If it is getting out of sync, the click may be not perfectly lined up to the grid, or there may be changes in tempo within your audio sample.

zmoss good stuff
How hot should I mix the tracks to be level with other tracks? -12? -3? I use Logic then upload to prime cloud.
Hi Frank, as loud as you can make them without any of the tracks clipping. We typically like stems to peak at -1. Hope this helps!
AWESOME! THANKS!
Me puedes pasar ese sonido de piano
Can you use any DAW for this?
You can create tracks in other DAWs such as Logic Pro and Studio One, but the process would be a little different.
Hello! Introducing myself alot later than posted.lol
It's all good! =)
You can pass me the pach of piano and pads
