@@n_ki I know what you're saying but the simple fact that simpler will choose a 100 settings for you is basically random as you can't know what transients it's going to pick out before it actually happens. So to the producer, it is essentially a random selection which reality has provided to. That's random enough for me, easy enough to take one of those transient sensitivity selections and chop it up how you like. Sick workflow!!
Love Ableton for their incredibly inspiring, concise, and helpful content. No other company provides users with such empowering documentation and resources.
This is one of the best video series for production that I know of. Short and to the point. So much inspiration. I dont even work on Ableton, but that doesnt matter.
A crew of brick workers currently rebuilding my parapet walls on my three story building; old brick being discarded into a dumpster below on the street. I recorded the ambient sound and chucked the wav's into Simpler and rolled off all the high end; made a midi file converted from a wav of the jack hammer; slowing the tempo down to 40bpm. Ended up with a nice eruption close to 6.8 on the Richter which my daughter is using as the soundtrack to her clay volcano science project.
I must be getting old because I rolled my eyes at first thinking this will be silly then by the end, picking up jaw, and house keys so I can go out and try this myself! That was cool.
I'm always looking for new sources for percussive sound in beat making. Your process is so quick. No fiddling around on location looking for quality audio hits. Get back, slice, pick out bits that are obviously not working and ...boom! Thank you!
the recording foley bit was awesome, but the simpler technique can also be applied by dragging drum midi into the simpler channel..doing exactly what Nina does but throw a vocal in simpler...thats the vocal hook sub technique that will create interesting vocal textures...the possibilities are endless
Great tip. The simple ones are sometimes the best. It is also worth stepping outside of the predictable combinations of organic instruments - like stones in water - and trying things a little more alternative. When preparing my dinner earlier, I inadvertently discovered the gorgeous crackling/popping sounds made when sprinkling salt in champagne. It had a timbrel quality that was notably unique and different to any fizzing, popping or crackling I had previously heard. I will be sampling this. Thanks Ableton and Nina.
Another way to do something similar is load up a sampler into a drum rack and then load a ton of percussion / foley into the sampler and set an LFO to automate the selection
This is one of the things why I've switched to Ableton. Simple yet genius. It's hard for me to adapt, used to be a FL studio user, but I think it's worth it
if you wanted my advice I'd say: read the manual. I know it's a 700+ pages bible, but read it. really everything is explained there. good luck with your transition!
I've been trying to use organic sounds in my beats more and more, the method of using Simpler slicing and just dragging+dropping drum MIDI to trigger the sample is genius tho :)
@@LosantoBeats I think iphones have a really decent mic for sampling stuff from nature and shit.with some fx you can do awesome things! but 300$ recorder will do the work much better :D
@@hypnauticamusic I know its 8 months after you've commented on this but He's not that wrong, The pulsing bass is the same chords and rhythm as ghost voices- just with a different ending that ascends.
What the hell thats genius
Agreed
people been doin this for decades wtf
@@n_ki i guess he meant the way she uses Simpler, not layering samples in general :)
@@nijq nothing new there either. +if youre going for some "randomness" theres much better ways to do it then shown here

1:22 is the fastest i've learned something useful in a long while, thanks!
Facts lmao
Yep
lol. I was thinking the same thing!
Dylan Adamek I was thinking the same haha! 🤣
yeah seriously this is wild, more stuff like this
insanely creative tip, thanks!
thats the fastest i've ever gone from "lol theres no way this will work out" to "OMG I NEED THIS"
Get a MPC Live!!
Love Ableton for their incredibly inspiring, concise, and helpful content. No other company provides users with such empowering documentation and resources.
Wish the masterclasses I've taken were this to the point
The Timbaland Master Class is pretty good. They show everything

I love this comment
The song at the end is fucking heat
I will try that with my next diarrhea and add some distortion, reverb and delay. Just imagine the people dancing to it!
Would be real acid!
But it'll just sound like sh*t. #Badumtish 🤭🤗😉😁
Genius! Then you can do a tutorial video so we can learn your technique lol
dropping the bass taken to a whole new level
@@chikifree Don't overcompress the hole when you're pushing out those bass drops
This is a really nice idea. Probably one of the better creative ideas I've seen in these videos... Good one, Nina!
best advice ever this changed my music. i use this technique for everything not just drums
Oh I’m definitely gonna try this one! Genius idea
Man I did this, but it was all by hand with an audio track! Thank you Nina for the faster workflow :)
Did anyone ID the track playing at the end? 4 years and I still want to listen to the full version 😄
I must be getting old because I rolled my eyes at first thinking this will be silly then by the end, picking up jaw, and house keys so I can go out and try this myself! That was cool.
same here haha. Can confirm... I am also old.

Nice, that sounds really cool!

These one things are seriously the best thing ever!

Yeah, I like to sprinkle a little saffron into my caviar sometimes. Insane noises!

thanks so much !! I used to chop samples in audio tracks... this really speeded up my workflow !
Good lord, that was amazing.
That ended up being pretty cool. Great work.

Her demo ableton song is hell of an art peace.
Wow..Simple,creative and cool!Thank you Nina!

Second time watching it. What a great video 🔥
Dope idea! For sure going to try this out. Thank you.
crazy simple and effective tip!!
So you are telling me I dont need a $300 handheld recorder?
duh
Jonathan Holland im always afraid I wouldnt be able to get good enough audio quality to work with. Is that not the case?
@Jonathan Holland Thanks
😂🤣👌

melkäre exactly, can we get some love for FL because Ive been using FL for too long to want to switch to Ableton
That sounded awesome.
wow the result is so cool
What song is at the end? :D Where can I hear the full song?
Awesome tip. This is Gold!
Thats why I bought Ableton next day

yep, its her track my man, you can hear the water drops

WTF
Someone in post must've said "Pfff, nobody will notice"
I heard the “William Tell Overture” played
Nice one! Great idea.
I use Ableton since 2011 ❤️
. Thanks Nina for your good ideas ! Kristel Starmans music
Ya well I've used microsoft word since like 1994 ... so take that.
One of the best tip
Amazingly good.
Great tip! Genius. Who is this girl? I should go check her music right away.
So cool !!
Great idea!! Ty
thats so cool, i wanna try that
Cool idea.
next level things to do when you go out!
Well that was very helpful, thank you :O
im moment als sie "splice" geklickt hat, war ich leicht extatisch. "eine neue dimension"
got me thinking
Whaaat, you record on a mobile? :-)) Good to know it works as well :-D.
nice idea!
From which Ableton version Simpler has this cooler look as here?
