Something errored during the rendering of the video.. The video part of the short demo was not edit properly. I used the arturia minilab, but unfortunatly the right video part is not added. I have added it to the descrption of the video :) Might make another demo video sometime soon.
2:35 it's impossible for me to start recording with the first pad (when I click it plays a note) and it never lights up green after recording, what can I do?
@@MagpieMelodies I am in channel 8 and yet it still plays a note it's driving me nuts it seems like it works easily for everyone so I can't find a fix :c
It shoud also work with Ableton 11, just tried it mysel. Maybe following this tutorial will help :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MClvRre8ZGQ.html, you can find the project file in the description of the video
How did you trigger the metronome to start recording by pressing the first key and recording with the first note? I can't do this. What should the settings be?
at the 2 minute mark, you move the knob to the side, so it cycles through your tracks. The record button lights up on each track. How did you set that up?
This is a beta-function of Ableton, called 'Arm on Selection'. You have to enable it yourself: www.reddit.com/r/ableton/comments/7uetmc/arm_on_selection_is_an_incredible_hidden_feature/
@@MagpieMelodies okay perfect. I’ll try that later. I saw that on another thread and assumed you did that here. Thanks for the tip and loved your video!
When I try to Map the beat pads to arm the track it doesnt stay armed. I have to hold down the beat pad for the track to stay armed. Am I doing something wrong? Any tip would be appreciated
Hei Mate. Before mapping the pads to arm the tracks, don't forget to press Shift + Pad 8 (so you switch to proper mapping for Ableton Live). I had the same problem as you and this solved it.
I have connected everything accordingly but no sound is coming. And when shift+8 is selected I still can't use the knobs 8 & 16 to control the channels in ableton. Anyone know whats up? The control surface is set up EXACTLY as in the videos and/or all other videos I've seen. No sound when Minilab keyboard is played.
I always try updating it with the midi control centre. And, if you press a key and have enabled a midi instrument, do you see the volume of the track (bottom of screen) go up?
Thank you so much for the video. I did all these steps but still can't get to put the three pads in green like you do, and I can't do the live loop 😢😢 I would appreciate if you could explain that last part please! Thank you so much!!
I’m a noob when it comes to this. Got my first ever midi controller yesterday. I created my account and downloaded all the software to my windows desktop without connecting the midi before downloading started (not sure if that makes a difference or not) I can open the software but I have no idea how to get to that screen you’re on. Please help🙏
Hello and thank you for the video but can I ask something. Do you also use analog lab program? Is that possible to put sounds from analog lab into abelton or just how to record the sounds from analog lab? thank you
Great!!! Sorry I have a question: How your ableton switch to auto arm automatically when you switch between tracks? Because mine doesn't move when I do it.( I have keylab essential 61 and it doesn't have Arm button like yours)
HI Mehrad, I can think of two ways to do this: 1) You can use midi learn to select the 'arm' button for each track and assign it to a specific pad on the keylab essential. 2) Try to Enable Record Mode Automatically On Track Selection. This is an additional option of ableton, and it will force Ableton to arm the track that is selected. You can look up some tutorials on youtube for this setting. Hope this helps!
As soon as you started talking I yelled "Thank you kiddd!!!" I could tell you were about to deliver what I was looking for in a clear and concise manner. You the best, homie!
From 6:30 onwards, the minilab video is ahead of the ableton screen due to a editing mistake, so that why these pads turned green all of a sudden :) (green means that there is an active clip in the selected track, you can play the clip by pressing the pad).
make sure you are in the Ableton preset. If you press shift, one of the eight pads shoud light up. In order to start recording with the pads, you have to be in the eight preset. To shift to this preset press SHIFT + 8th pad
Thanks! :D I'm planning to also make a tutorial on how to break down a song to make a live looping cover, are there certain things you would like to know? :)
@@MagpieMelodies that's great to know Magpie. I think, the general framework of how you'd approach a song to begin with, when trying to set it up for live looping is the core I guess. I think we have to 'listen to it differently' ? Or not ? To be able to set it up ? Just throwing out some half baked thoughts 😂

thnx m8 for the vid! keep up the good work only one thing i have searched my ass of for was the setting to control the countdown before playing the loop but really easy to find 😂 preferences - record - count in
@@MagpieMelodies I want to learn can you please teach me? I want to learn, I will pay you $$ . I have been struggling with this Minilab Mk2 for weeks I am getting g discouraged.
Yooo you are the best man!! every other video they just skipped things like i knew everything and you just carefully explained everything! thanks bro! 👍
Very very useful video!!! Many thanks, this is what was needed in order to start looping. Is it possible to use the instruments of Arturia Analog Lab into Ableton?
Thanks! And yes you can, I made a short video how you can use VST's (like Arturia Analog Lab) in Ableton. If you follow this video you'll be able to use these instruments: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-U6SUXEnHZT0.html
@@polipolo5174 no you get all the software that I used free with the minilab! You can find some free instruments here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5C1oRQOKPto.html
