Chop samples with Ableton & Push like maschine/MPC 

I'm 9 years late but thanks! I never would have thought to use session view like this :-)

Thanks man, appreciate what your doing. You really helped me out. Keep grinding

This is what I needed, thanks

Cool tips, thanks for sharing.

great video taught me a lot there

hey mike , great tutorial btw..ive run into a problem thought. i have done everything you've shown , but one i get to midi mapping and select "user" , i turn the top nob to assign the "start" point , but the slot at the bottom of screen that reads "press a midi key or move midi controller to make assgn" doesnt acknowledge the fact that im moving the knob , the "clickable" tab that pops beneath and says negative 2 etc doesnt show up, what gives?

Thanks mike ! Nice job

I actually set this up before, I used it in my push sampled beat video. I named my rack 'sample chop". When I chop with warp markers and use the 'convert to new midi track' I chose this rack and everything is set, but when I drag clips into this same rack for some reason it doesnt work the same. Not sure if i'm doing something wrong.

Thx so much! nice tutorial! was looking for that!

This is very good thanks. How is it different from using "Slice to Warp Markers" in Ableton Live 9 though?

Super informative, love this vid. Is there a way of making the samples 'monophonic' so that they cut each other out once played?

Great tutorial, thanks for sharing

Really helpful man, thanks.

Thanks man. You sound like Devin the Dude, nice and chill.

Hey on the choke group part of this video, you can set the first one to a choke group and then click on it and then select copy to siblings and it will copy the setting to all of them.

Great tutorial man! Thanks for sharing =)

Thanks man

Great tutorial, I highlighted all the clips and assaign parameters to control pitch and velocity. I prefer to keep them as audio files instead of putting them into a drumrack. It gives you more flexibility, especially when you record a part, consolidate it and then use warp and quantization.

Hi, Love this little video, just a little something to add though. I got my Push yesterday (14th Feb 2014) and the User port wasn't enabled for remote control as standard. I had to go to Live's Preferences -> MIDI and switch on Push User Port in 'Track ->On' and 'Remote -> On' before I could map the start and end markers to push in 'User' mode. Cheers.

How do you get the each sample to cut out after another pad is played? so each sample doesn't overlap each other

Hey when i turn my knobs on my push zoomed in they move way to fast. How did you manage to turn them like in the video?

I can't get my nobs to sync with the start and end. My push is synched, but I don't know what is going wrong.

Thanx. How exactly would this work? I'm pretty sure your mistaken.

How would you do drums for a track like this? Would you use a drum loop or would you play drums on the pad?

Peace, Sun. I went through this technique with every controller I have (Akai MPD32, MPK49, and Maschine in Controller mode) and it the start and end markers don't move as fine as you are doing; it moves in increments of 250 or so. Is there a way to really do this with any other controller? Or is the precise scrolling only possible with Push? I'm stumped for right now. HELP!!!

Thanks that was interesting

Mine did some weird stuff like that too. I just tried all those settings at the bottom till I found one that worked right. Maybe its a different setting for your controller. I sold my MPD32 or else I would figure it out for you.

This video is hilarious!

thanks

Can you save this user mode as a Push preset so you don't have to do this setup everytime?

Can't you delete all the clips before you set it as default? Great Video. Inspiring me to make a similar one.

Would also like to know how. Did you find a way ?

is there way to map zoom? i will stay with my maschine ;)

Do you think it's possible to do all of this w/o interacting with the pc? I'm a little hesitant to make the move to Push (I really really want to!) because I don't want to loose the awesome sample editing capabilities in Maschine (1.8.2). I'm thinking I might just keep the Maschine and load it as a plugin in Live and use it as my sampling. #imtorn

I agree.

Such a long way round...

I was having trouble getting live to receive input from Push when in User Mode. Read here on how to set up Live to receive info from Push in User Mode - go to the ableton website and add this to the end of the address: /en/articles/push-user-mode/

I'm pretty sure if you delete them all it will not save your settings. When I tried it with live 8 it didn't work, prolly because my settings were in the clip itself.

Don't forget to setup the correct Push MIDI in/out in the preferences before you try this : www.ableton.com/en/articles/push-user-mode/

Mike, when i'm adjusting the encoders they aren't moving by a single frame, they're moving by 4. Where do you adjust this??

I do both.

Has been working fine.

Is all your ever need... People always love to say that, and it's never true in the long run.

I had this problem in the past. My scroll wasnt smooth, it would jump. But with push and these settings this didnt happen anymore. Guess maybe it is the controller. This happened with my MPD and my LPD8.

7:36 RIP Headphone users

Can you please do a video of you walking through how to record from your Push from the Internet with RU-vid?

i dont have that type of intricate control with the start and end.. it jumps drastically. thought my nob was broke so i assigned it to something else and it was fine

why dont you use slice to midi?

can this method be used on the launchpad pro?

What I don't understand is if you're duplicating a clip with the start and end points mapped to midi won't the points be messed up on the first clip by editing the 2nd one? What am I missing

I'm missing something here guys. I have map mode enabled but when I go to move the nob it doesn't seem to recognize therefore i'm not getting to the "relative 2 comp" option. can someone please walk me through this, because I would love to learn how to sample using this technique.

hey mike if you dont mind tellin me. What sample/song is that?

this can be done on any controller then right?

Again this video is how to chop samples with Ableton & Push like maschine. For those that say use slice to midi or use the macros in the drum rack that has nothing to do with maschine. I know and use those methods, the point of this video is get the MASCHINE sample workflow. And this method DOES NOT time a lot of time, its a one time set up.

Load an audio track with a audio clip. Make sure the track is selected with push. Hit the button that says clip. There you can set the start points and length of the clip without touching the mouse. Having clips locked to certain notes in user mode will make you spend more time setting up new sets. If you think about it and create blank drum rack like this you could load 127 cells with the same song and adjust with a macro. Search 'The Last Drum Rack You'll Ever Have to Make" VIDEO

Thanks for the tutorial but this can be accomplished in normal (Not User) mode by loading a clip and accessing the macro parameters at the top of the push. This tutorial in fact takes twice as much programming to get the identical result.

Is there a way to map duplicate?

Now you can dothe same thing with the slice mode of the new simpler instrument

Oh shit I thought it did

Can u tell me the commands for a pc

i watched your video and copyd ur lil tech here and eveything went well, chopped up some ub40, but after i realized there was an easier way to chop it... *** IF YOU CONVERT THE AUDIO FILE TO MIDI, it will give u the option of how u wanna chop it up and itll make a nice little drum rack for u with everything in line... also user mode is a biatch...

that was really helpful.. thank you so much! But that high frequency flute was so irritating.. Please choose a less irritating sample next time for the video.. hehe

Good work around, but this is what is fundamentally wrong with the push. This option should be in drum rack. They need to some how be able to edit, and trim within drum racks. Until they get that to work, then maschine is winning. This same time, I would of been jamming already on maschine. This is coming from a ableton fanboy

I know that method, This is something completely different.

Maschine doesnt have slice to midi.

Yo man peep this if you haven't seen it. It's a hack script that adds some pretty cool functionality to PUSH in User Mode. Pretty dope.... Isaac shares Ableton Push "Hack" Script PXT from Native Kontrols

That doesn't work with choke groups.

Fell asleep.

theres no point in chopping like this it slows down the flow

this can be done on any controller then right?
