In this video, I'll teach you how to make your own custom DJ edits using Ableton Live. This is the best way that I've found to edit intros outros and cut out unwanted parts without affecting the sound quality of your songs.
* Yes, this will work in older versions too. (8, 9, etc) *

Good advice - when I add in drums over beat-less intros/outros my go-to is to try and find a clean minimal drum loop (or parts of ome) from the actual track I'm editing, so that it fits better because it has the same production aa the rest (reverb, compression, delay or whatever) of the track

@edmontontech2008 Год назад

You can also turn off warp by clicking off Warp in your samples Tool Tab and then tap the tempo, it will keep it from jumping around. Then you can re-enable warp by clicking Warp back on. If you highlight the entire sample, you can input the BPM in the BPM field that is also in the Tools Tab inside the sample. You will need to do this before clicking Warp back on, lol. The algorithm kinda sucks, so I find myself zooming in and manually Shift + Mouse drag to fine tune it.

I haven't tried it yet. Ableton Live has been in development for over a decade, so it probably has more features since Serato Studio is brand new. I'm always up for trying new things though. I'll post a review if I get a chance to play with it.😁

@jrichey10 5 лет назад

If I'm making a mashup or transition where two tracks are playing over each other, this causes the master to clip. Also, if I have to warp the track (for tempo change) it also clips. Can you recommend any techniques for fixing this without ruining the loudness? I've read of a few different ways to do this and it all includes limiters and compressors (which I don't mind using). I'm just looking for a tutorial on that and can't find one:/ Any help?

@DJCouchKing 5 лет назад

When you warp a track Ableton Live turns on the Hi-Q sample rate conversion. That can cause clipping, and should only be used if you're transposing a sample. As far as blending the two without sacrificing loudness, I'd start by EQing the the low end out of one of the tracks, then adjusting the volume and using a limiter/compressor.

@sauravkc1382 Год назад

totally agree with u mate! im kind of a newbie to soft producing here, well tNice tutorials video helps a lot and gives mo motivation to create

@DaStefster14 5 лет назад

Any reason(s) you use an external source to tap out the tempo instead of just doing that in session view before dragging them into the arrangement?

@DJCouchKing 5 лет назад

Just so I can change the session tempo and quickly see if the grid lined up correctly with the transients. Thanks for watching!

How to increase or decrease beat flow somewhere in between the song?? I mean like in many songs we hear beat gets faster and then it boom falls back to normal beat ... How?? 😕 😔Can you please help me out??

@DJCouchKing 5 лет назад

I'm sorry, are you talking about a build up/break down/drop? That's more of a production thing than an edit. Basically you need to divide the MIDI or audio into increasingly smaller note values, like 8ths/16ths/32nds etc. Then have it go back to the main rhythm on the track.

@HotAsHellPingPong 4 года назад

do you ever have any issues with quality loss when making edits in ableton? i noticed that whenever i take two complete tracks and drop them into ableton for editing, they sound great when in the daw, but artifacts appear after i export it and it does not sound good on club systems. i've tried pitch warping, complex warping, and no warping at all. what am i doing wrong?

@DJCouchKing 4 года назад

What are your export settings like? As long as warping and HiQ are turned off the quality should be the same.

@HotAsHellPingPong 4 года назад

@@DJCouchKing no dither, 44100 sample rate, 24 bit depth, normalize off, convert to mono off. i hadn't had HIQ off before though, so i'll try a few exports with that off

what is the track used to make this edit?

@DJCouchKing 5 лет назад

reginald jones “Come Around” by Da Tooby. I got it from Epidemic Sound.

@alvesdeejay 5 лет назад

when you find the bpm why you don't warp it or consolidate?

@DJCouchKing 5 лет назад

Because warping reduces the audio quality. If you need to change the BPM or make a transition track then warping is fine, but if all you need to do is trim/edit it will sound better if it's not warped.

@alexandrebedard1908 5 лет назад

@@DJCouchKing You can warp it with the repitch option, it reduce the sound issues.

Hello , is it a good idea to consolidate or Just paste it? Or ? Great Video btw ✌

@DJCouchKing 4 года назад

You can consolidate. You don't really need to since it will be rendered as one continuous audio file on export.

@cmonmixes2728 4 года назад

DJ Couch King Thanks ! SO it doesnt matter if i consolidate it or Just paste it ( no good or bad?)

@DJCouchKing 4 года назад

Consolidate creates a new audio file. Paste is non destructive. If you repeatedly consolidate files it will make the project take up unnecessary space.

@cmonmixes2728 4 года назад

DJ Couch King Owh so (as example ) If I don’t consolidate the project is 12 MB and if a consolidate it’s 14 or? (Maybe you mean other space I dunno 😂😂

When you bring an mp3 into ableton you don’t here how it loses its quality? Compare it. Play an mp3 outside of live and then play the same one inside live.. they don’t sound the same.

It has to do with warping and same rate conversion. Always use WAV and turn off warping when you can.

@chez_calabrese 3 года назад

@@DJCouchKing I always edit my tracks at its original tempo. I don’t time warp the main track. Although The tracks I’m editing are usually MP3’s. But you can still hear the sound difference. I usually have to drop something in the master to bring the sound back up.

@GFunkTube 3 года назад

@@chez_calabrese asking for trouble messing about with a compressed file. Also I'd definitely hope you don't then export is as as mp3, performing the same compression algorithm on an already compressed file will be totally horrendous. I don't understand what you are doing if you are not warping the track. If you are just chopping stuff up may be better in Audacity. And definitely don't compress again. If you then put it on mixcloud or something it will have been compressed 3 times by the time the listener hears it.

@@GFunkTube if you match your metronome tempo on ableton to the original tempo of the track you are editing you don’t need to time warp it. You can add whatever you want over it on other channels. But I’m not even talking about after the render. Within live itself you can hear the track sounds squashed. Why? When I render it I do it as a wav. But I have been adding compressors to make up for the loss in sound. I’ll try rendering it without it see how it sounds

@BobGSFO 5 лет назад

You farted around for 7 minutes to figure out the tempo, which could have been done in about 30 seconds with warping on. Warping will estimate the track's BPM, and Ableton's BPM detection is pretty good. First, move clip's starting point where the drums come in at the start of measure 9. Next, go to the end of the track and check the grid alignment on the last measure containing drums and insert a warp marker and align it if necessary - the correct tempo is then displayed in the clip's Seg BPM box. Set the track's master tempo to that number and turn warping off. Since you already have the correct tempo in the project's master tempo, you can move the clip's starting point back 8 measures to the start of the instrumental intro. Easy peasy.

@DJCouchKing 5 лет назад

Ableton Live doesn't always detect the correct tempo. It takes longer to do something when you're breaking it down for a tutorial. This usually takes me less than a minute. ;)
