Producing music with a time constraint can be a great way to get out of your head as it forces you to think quickly and trust your instincts. In this video we set a 10 minute timer and try to make an entire hip hop beat as quickly as possible. We also talk through the workflow and share some Ableton Live tips and shortcuts.

@ACM9407 3 года назад

This is absolute madness. I recently just switched to Ableton and am in love with it, but it's lack of having a drum step sequencer is really driving me nuts. Because this man is obviously an Ableton wizard, he made it look quick and easy, but this "drum rack, draw in midi notes" business is for the birds...Even so, what he did to create the drum pattern is still the long way around in comparison to having a step sequencer. FL, Studio One, and now Logic (as well as others I'm sure I'm missing), all have drum step sequencers built into them. Ableton really needs to catch up to 2020.

@generalawareness101 2 года назад

Yeah, I have to say for beat making, and especially beats from sampled music, FL Studio is still king. I don't use it so even with Ableton 11 I still can't do shit in it that I could with FL.

@darrenhirst9900 2 года назад

I'm a FL Studio user and I tried Ableton and I do like it apart from that step sequencer. FL Studio still has the best one.

@CornwallGBF 8 месяцев назад

@sterlingj3002 4 года назад

I'm curious, I know that its built on C minor but what is the actual key and or scale? That natural B and the G major chord sound great on it, but not knowing how is making me anxious.

@nickthechen 4 года назад

It is specifically the C harmonic minor. (C D Eb F G Ab B ) . When the V chord (or G in this case) is a Dominant 7th (G B D F ) it gives a very distinct feeling.

@largepoodle6036 3 года назад

I'm thinking about switching to ableton 11 but looking for videos of people making tracks in 10 minutes or under. That's where I'm at in my current DAW. Within seconds of opening my DAW, I can have a melody laid down, and already begin thinking about the other elements in my tracks. If I can't do that in 10 minutes, that DAW isn't for me lol. I've tried ableton lite and I did NOT like the layout whatsoever. Honestly navigating most DAWs is trash. I need my playlist to the right, my browser to the left, sequencer in the middle, and I need 1 click access to the mixer. I also require 1 click access to a dropdown of all my plugins. It's the only way for me.

It's actually easy to get started. Most daws offer a trial. If you are on any apple device, you can get a free copy of garage band. You don't need to be able to play any instruments. You just need dedication and some music theory. As well as a daw. You can do it!

@QankoIvanov 3 года назад

@@sachhmoka2953 Go to the mixer thing. On every output there are 10 empty places. In these places you can choose fruity reverb 2, bla - bla other things. To put things especially on the beat (that you make, not the sample), you press the clock on some output( 2 - 10 ) and choose only beats or something, it can be only samples... And yeah. That is how I add reverb on my beat. If you need any help ask me.

@ReallyKormix 3 года назад

Not really a 'how to' just you making a beat and giving 2-3 words on what you're doing. To someone that's relatively new to Ableton, Id want to know WHAT AND WHY you're doing it.
