Cool technique! For any Logic Pro users out there who might be wondering how to do this, it's actually really easy. Just load the same amount of Quick Samplers as the number of loops you have inside of Drum Machine Designer (Logic's equivalent of Live's Drum Racks), and then follow the same steps (draw in MIDI notes, etc). Remember to mute each Quick Sampler! Bonus tip, within Drum Machine Designer on each of the pads there's a small cog wheel on the bottom right, click on that and select Exclusive Group and set all of the pads to Group 1. This Exclusive Group is basically DMD's Choke group feature and it ensures that any overlapping MIDI notes will cut off each other and you won't get any overlaps.
you know the guy uses white noise as a trigger? Well on that track, where you're drawing in the midi notes, you stick an arpegiator before the white noise sound which is loaded into the simpler. If you do this and play with the arpegiator settings it takes the gating process that step further.
I've seen Mr. Bills tut on the Hocket machine and Tom Cosm's glitch machine. But for audio this is by far the best approach for loop mangling I've come across, so easy to setup and remember (!). downright ingenious. Thanks alot!
You’re welcome, and happy to hear you found it helpful! We’ve put up a template pack that uses the same technique but for 303 synth lines - if you want to give it a go let us know what you think! Over at shop.liveschool.net and currently set as free download
I would have put all loops on same audio channel, set loops to Legato, and triggered via midi controller; but this tutorial allows for more than one loop to play simultaneously. I never would have thought to do it this way. Excellent method, respect to the instructor.
i don't know how youtube recommendation algorithm knew this would be exactly the tip i need right now....i'm literally sitting with three drum tracks and i've been editing automation in arrangement view, wondering if there was a better way to do this... Thanks so much!!
I cant get this to work properly. all 3 gate settings emulated, and classic mode on each simpler are the same. when the midi note ends the loop triggered doesn't immediately end. he doesn't go into detail on the gate parameters so any ideas what i'm doing wrong. cant figure it out?
I don't know if you're still struggling with this, but I had the same as you and I figured the trick out. The length of the "Noise" clip and the length of the drum loop must be the same. So I guess if your drum loop is 4 bars then be sure your Noise clip will match that!
The nay sayers havnt a clue m8. This is pure genius and thank fuck it saves so much bs with guess work. you could literally jam with that and probably die from starvation from having forgot to eat.
that's a great technique. The funny part is that I'm watching this video... 10 mins after complaining, for the 1000th time, about Live's absence of a proper comping (as it's available in Logic, DP...). That's the closest to the real deal... but hey Ableton devs, make it fluid and native as in other DAWs, PLEASE !
The gate doesn't seem to slam shut fast enough after being triggered by the midi note. The sample plays quite a bit longer than the midi note. Is there a way to fix this cuz the new rearranged loops get quite messy. Great idea though.
64 simultaneous audio clips will always be challenging for cpu. Some things to try: Avoid complex or complex pro warp modes. Use beats or repitch instead. Deactivate Hi-Q on audio clips Set audio prefs to turn off unused inputs and outputs
Aah bit annoying was just about to post a vid about my version of something very similar. I got the idea from the Twisted Tools Reaktor ensemble Ultraloop. That works in a similar way to this and was the original inspiration. My version I have built to be 16 channels and and also use the Max for Live step sequencer for randomization.. If anyone's interested hit me up and I will send you a link to my template.. need Max for Live though for the sequencer bit.
Hi Sam, it should still be work in 10. Some more detailed instructions here - let us know where you get stuck? blog.liveschool.net/ableton-live-tutorial-chopping-drums-with-gates/
@@AbletonLiveschool Having trouble figuring out the effect racks here. HOW do I route the midi trigger clips to activate the various Gated effects in the rack? I can't figure out how to send the sidechain from the midi trigger clips to each instance of the rack. It just plays them all at once. Do I route midi to control the chain selector somehow???
there is a way simpler way to do this..i do it all the time in session view with hihats. you just put them all in 1 track and set up clip triggers on random. really easy when you do it a few times. its like a 30 second job
1. Slice each sample to MIDI. 2. Place each sample slice in one drum rack. 3. Now you can trigger each slice via MIDI as well as process each slice individually in the rack. 4. Done. Why so complicated?
Hi. Your steps would create a sample triggering workflow. This is different - a dub editing workflow, and achieves an entirely different musical result
Hi, this might look like sampling but it gets a completely different result. With a sampler, a midi note triggers the same sample every time. With this method a midi note reveals what’s playing behind the gate at that exact point in time

I used this technic adding an arppegiator on the midi track! Damn crazy results!!!
can u elaborate on what u do? sounds sick j curious !

HOLY FUCK YOU'RE A GENIUS!!!
@@ebbanmaeda8873 He puts an arrp on the midi track of choice or all. Im gunna do this now and I will prolly loose it. haha
@@ebbanmaeda8873 You can also add a "Random" Midi Effect to randomize the notes being played, makes it even crazier

Nice idea!
The drum technique is great! So flexible!
My jaw won't come up.
Mind Blow! Forget follow actions with this way u can JAM!!!
Whoah. Thought I knew. I knew nothing.
Lmfao I've been using Live for 5 years now and I still pick my jaw up sometimes even on the non maxMSP devices
Live school - это лучшие уроки из всех что есть в интернете
Спасибо вам,ребята !
Wow. Just blew my mind.
Exactly what i've been lookin for ? and even more. Thank you!
Mind. Blown. I need to sit down.
Savage stuff thanks
effective way to have a big new shuffling-around of ddrumloops Super !!!
Yet another awesome video from Liveschool. Thankyou Adam, totally inspired me to try this out.!
Good luck trying to finish a track lol. Live is limitless
So true.. 😂
That’s why deadlines are necessary. Has to be finished by this Thursday! I mean Friday……ok, next week, next month 😅
Anyone know his name? He's a genius.
Adam Maggs (it gets displayed at the beginning of the video)
This is awesoem! Great technique
Great technique!. Get polyrhythmic on that gate controlling simpler white noise track!
Great video, an amazing concept demystified.
This is a wonderful technique thanks for the tip!
Thank you
Thanks for the new process, Imma have some fun utilizing it!
Very cleaver 👏
Nice technique thanks for sharing! I always learn great new material from you guys :)
Respect.
Killer technique!
Excellent - cheers from vegas
Superb tutorial 👍🏼
Woooow amazing

How do you get "Gate" and "White Noise" In your Audio Effect Bar??? I have Ableton live 10- PLZ HELP
open in new audio clip, put inside open nstrument rack. then put inside gate and white noise
that's a great technique.

They have implemented it in live 11 so if you can afford an update I’d recommend it. Definitely a game changer
thx for impression..very intresting
Sick.
Great tip!
I'd have a better shot remembering Calc and pre-Trig from Jr. year in HS! 😱
Sounded GREAT, though! 🎧 🎶

This is dope!
Yep, this is dope!
So .. This "gated modality of process" will standardize "modular access" to interchangeable subsets of controlled content ? [shrug?]
The gate doesn't seem to slam shut fast enough after being triggered by the midi note. The sample plays quite a bit longer than the midi note. Is there a way to fix this cuz the new rearranged loops get quite messy. Great idea though.
dude!!! great!!!!
I'm guessing there's no project to download somewhere!? Interested in seeing these FX racks.
I've just created one. Do you want me to send it to you?
Dude please if you would just DM or something
I don't know how xD
You could upload it?
please share the link its looking weird i cant get the post mixers working properly on mine
Genius!
this is dope
This is fucking genius
how could you not subscribe to this?
wow! this is super cool1
Whoa
This is crazy
W O W ! Thank you!
Clever!
I'm trying to make a 64 pad performance out of this and it's really overloading the CPU. Any suggestions on a good way to turn on/off tracks?
64 simultaneous audio clips will always be challenging for cpu.
Some things to try:
Avoid complex or complex pro warp modes. Use beats or repitch instead.
Deactivate Hi-Q on audio clips
Set audio prefs to turn off unused inputs and outputs
wow!
SHUTUP AND TAKE MY MONEY.....Thank you good sir for the LVL UP +1 on creativity....
Unreal

post that shit
Dead, I was using momentary for m4l, hands down :0
Great idea!
So this is more like midi automated live sampling with a gate. He should make an automated sampling app thatd be game changing.
WOW. This was useful as fuck!!!
That would be chill if someone could make a video about this in live 10, it doesn't seem to transition over well:/
Hi Sam, it should still be work in 10. Some more detailed instructions here - let us know where you get stuck? blog.liveschool.net/ableton-live-tutorial-chopping-drums-with-gates/
nice :)
fcking brilliant!
youtube Mr.bills video on Hullablao0's gate mixing technique. Its called a "hocket machine"
Pretty much easily does all this.
fucking ace

Hi, you're doing it wrong. It works for everybody... just not for those doing it incorrectly.
it's ok now, in the video you don"t explane all the parmaters of each tracks ;o)

Genius, but it's hard to follow the process. There are some unclear details. I wish there was a project file to study. But awesome nonetheless.

It’s great but he’s assuming way to much.. not one student asked any questions.. I gave up watching.
wtf
what a fuckn tragedy
You son of a bitch this is my idea, oh well. I'll never explain my AND gates, OR gates or XOR gates
seems like a waste of time
Not if you hear the track I just made with this technique hahahaha. Time you enjoyed wasting was not wasted!
Whoa
