Thanks dude. Very helpful.

@NigelGresswell Год назад

Just one tip. If you want to record into the arrangement view from session view you can hit control + record which will arm the record button and will only start recording when you trigger a scene or a clip! That way you don’t need to worry about a count-in and the recording will start at the beginning.

Man ,geez you totally helped me with this video. I feel as if you opened a new door for my creativity, talk about perfect timing. I was having a tough time with writers block. big thanks!!

@TomCasey 2 года назад

That's awesome man. Just keep going!

@yokytolakaca7485 6 месяцев назад

This piece of software is just incredible. Practically nothing you can't do with Ableton but if you find something, you can still use surface control/scripting. It's mind blowing how much you can do.

@TomCasey 6 месяцев назад

I agree!

Great vid, man. I like the session view for getting an idea for a song as I'm not a dj. I never really understood the reason for recording from session view to arrangement view when you can just drag and drop the clips right into the arrangement view. Maybe it's for djs who want to remember the way they played the beat, or maybe for initial arrangement and then tweak. I don't really know. The main way I use session view is to store clips like a temp bucket, and then drag and drop when I need them. And I also use session view for better precision in the mixer. That's about it.

@JonValtandtheEvilRobots Год назад

Arrangement view will record your live performance in linear song form so you can mix / master it. That’s different than simply dragging all your tracks over. (Yes, under the hood, hitting different Scene buttons, triggering clips is REALLY just telling the computer which ones to copy over - but this way it’s true to your performance)

@paulsaulpaul 11 месяцев назад

Every intro video to this software should simply start with this subject. Experienced users overwhelm me as a new user with a deluge of functions that I'll never use as someone that has never even composed music before. edit: functions I won't use yet as a new user that has never recorded a track before. Thank you for the video.

you're very welcome, glad it helped

@NATmusic27 4 месяца назад

nice tut bro. the thing that annoys me a lot, is when i group tracks, like synths, or a bass group, and the group track can't be hidden on the launchpad, so i have both the grop clips, and the same clips again on the right from the tracks within the group, which i find confusing when performing with launchpad

@TomCasey 4 месяца назад

yea, i could see how that would be frustrating. I don't think Ableton has a hide group track lane feature (Logic Pro X does). Could be a possibility tho

@ParkerCharlesGabriel 2 года назад

Can anyone explain WHY using scenes is an advantage? I still don’t get why. Am I missing something ❓

@TomCasey 2 года назад

Live performance. You can also arrange your track in real-time, which could be an advantage for genres like ambient or electronic music.

@JonValtandtheEvilRobots Год назад

What Tom said, plus... For building a song before recording / printing the final arrangement in to arrangement view.

@wrigna1 Год назад

Is there a way to tell ableton to sequentially play each scene for a specific amount of bars automatically?

@TomCasey Год назад

You can check out the "follow action" feature in the live session view. Go to the bottom left of the clip window and look for the small horizontal triangle right next to the yellow circle. Clicking this will expand the screen and show the follow action feature. It's relatively new and if you'd like me to make a quick video on it, feel free to let me know. Good luck!

@user-nr7ls1uj2q Год назад

How do I place a single shot snare drum in session view and make it play when I want, not when sample ends?

@TomCasey Год назад

You can trigger the drum via midi using sampler/simpler, just make sure the midi region is the right length (4 beats, or whatever) and place the midi note on C to trigger at the sample's original pitch

@Ron.Swanson. Год назад

What if I have made a whole song in arrangement view but now I want to see if I can trigger certain elements of the song via session mode?

@TomCasey Год назад

What I would do is "save session as" and then consolidate your clips in session mode, so things are neatly organize by their 4 or 8-bar phrases (if not already). Click on each clip for that instrument, and hit tab while still holding down, and then just drag and drop that clip into the cell for the column of that instrument's track. It can be a somewhat tedious process, but you can essentially build a "looped version" of your arrangement this way. Good luck.

@Ron.Swanson. Год назад

@@TomCasey Okay cool so save a new copy of the song and make a session specific version of it. Got it. Thanks a lot 🙏🏼

@JonValtandtheEvilRobots Год назад

I didn’t want to put in some jerky pedantic comment, but then it kept going… He’s really really stuck on misusing the word “scene.” A scene is a row of cells being triggered. At first, he accidentally calls a “cell” a “scene,” and then he says, “insert new scene inserts a row of cells” - nah, it inserts a SCENE!” :) Just trying not to confuse new folks with wrong terminology, not being critical of the tutorial or your efforts here. Keep up the good work!

@JonValtandtheEvilRobots Год назад

Okay, I’ve watched the whole thing now. I take back part of what I said. This guy doesn’t quite understand how Session View is designed to work, so all his resultant tips (2ch to a buss, building cells of stereo tracks, etc. etc.) are just hacks to make things work. For example, bussing all your audio to a single track is a good way to blow up CPU usage. It’s a well known Ableton Live design flaw that it uses a single core for each dedicated signal. Bussing all your auto to a single track forces all the processing onto a single processor core. You don’t need to increase your count-in time in Session View, do re-takes, use “hybrid mode” etc. etc. if you’re using Session View the correct way! It’s for song building!! 🙂 Obviously there isn’t an exact “right” way, but this video isn’t using it the way they designed it to. You can use the back of a screwdriver as a hammer, I guess, but, ya know.

@TomCasey Год назад

My bad

@JonValtandtheEvilRobots Год назад

@@TomCasey LOL I didn't mean it like one of "those" comments man. Keep it up. 99% of people who watch these videos won't even take the time to turn on a camera, let alone try to help people. You produced helpful videos for people. That's a good thing.
