How To Warp Samples & Make Beats In Ableton 

Every time he says the little "aye" I feel more and more relaxed

Finally! A RU-vid producer, that appeals to my untreated, ADHD, inner child 😬

bobbing his head to the beat brings me unexplained joy

There’s something about the puppet that makes learning all this shit a lot less tedious. Thank u!

This is so cool

How did you know that the key was c?

great tutorial~

Thank you so much!

Aye I know I'm late to the video but can anyone tell me what he did so when he dragged the midi drums out, the drums kept repeating. Like as if they were looping and didn't have to create the drums again. Thanks in advance

Clutch !!

fire

This is the producer version of The Joy Of Painting.

hey man, where i can get this jelly lamp ? pleaseeeee i need one :D

Am i the only one who hates the warping function in ableton? I always cut and pitch the samples manually, the warping function is bullshit to me. I think it stops the workflow instead of making it better /quicker

shoutout to that cat

the realest puppet in the game !!! lol

15:42 That clearing of the throat killed me

The puppet is very entertaining, but I wish it took up a little less of the screen so we could see more of your workflow.

"you know me. i'm gonna do it in parallel"

i wish the video showed the key commands . I'm new from logic pro and im struggling trying to research what he's doing but its for the better i guess

Sometimes it's hard to tell what you're actually pressing... you just press a button, a menu pops up and it's gone right after. I suppose these are for people who already know what they're doing.

Bruh, I just thought to myself, "wtf, I haven't seen a new Reid Stefan tutorial in a minute let me check in to make sure i didn't miss anything". and boom.

NOTIFICATION GANG GANG GANG! Realest OG Puppet In The Game 💪🏾

why is he talking to jellyfish?

Ya Ya Ya Ya *Music starts on beat somehow*

This is everything I'm practicing every time I open my DAW to write and sample. Thank you Reid!

It's like the joy of watching and learning from Sesame Street all over again.

Idk if I saw this back when it was new but now that I’m practicing AL 11 intro it’s starting to make sense now!!! I have to buy some of your packs!!!

Ok I found one thing Reason does WAY BETTER than Ableton

I love that lil nigga..... sesame Street for grown-ups✊🏽🇲🇦😂💯

Not going to lie. That beat sucked but I watched the entire video for the tips. Great tutorial as always.

How did he get it go go on to that view of a sampler?He starts the video without showing how he opened up the sample. Im just dragging the audio on to an audio track and even tried opening sampler and putting it in that way but nothing ive tried seems to get me on to the view that hes on. Can anyone help? P.S im not implying hes at fault for not showing its probably really obvious but if anyone can help pls do xx

Iiiiiits production time. I wish it was my brother, my health is denying me right now😧

I have to keep reminding myself that the puppet isn’t *really* making the beat lmao

Definitely helped me stretch audio the right way and on beat

crazy, i have a similar workflow. thanks man, that feels good to me.

came for sampling, catched by the voice, stayed for the beat and came back for the puppet. Love this.

How do I zoom in to get a closer view on a sample on that sample view at the bottom?

hahhahahahhhaaaahaha! You should bring flat Eric in as studio mate!!!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeettttttttsssssss.........

How does he make beats with his puppet hands

subscribed lol! puppets are better than regular people!

this video smells like some disgusting boiled minced meat

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GrkPX6q9Stg.html End of commercial

a good tip is to not quantize the sample perfectly because it emulates a real human playing the kalimba (nobody has perfect rhythm) edit: another tip is to keep the rest of the sample in case you wanna use another part of it

Applause for the puppet bro, i just come here for that

Sounds lit

maybe you should adjust your screen my love @1:19. puppet producers must look out for their health and posture positioning when producing for extended periods of time or just don't forget to take frequent breaks.

My guy is hella chill. "we're just gonna jump right in" (beat drops). Lmfao I had to sub off that one man. the puppet "Definitely" smokka the gunja.

This puppet will kick post malone's ass any day in this beat game! This shit be fire YO!

You are the fuc**ng God of Ableton

One ableton tip so you don't go insaine by having too much latancy (unwanted audio lag) is to just turn the latency number down in settings. That is so easy and nice tutorial dude. I think Garageband is not as bad as some say it is, but yes you can do more things in other softwares like edit audio (actual instuemnt sound) and midi way more. I think Protools is the hardest to master out of all the popular programs I have tried. Out of all the programs I have tried, Ableton and Logic are the best. I have learned Protools a bit when I was in a music school. I like Garageband/Logic and Ableton for the for ease of use and look. I got a bunch of stuff down in Abelton from watching videos way faster then Protools when I learned how to use it better at a music school. Ableton is so good for doing midi stuff and really deep editing for midi easier than protools. You can even add a custom sample kit to pads on a midi device that has pads super easily which I love. People should really get to try out different prograns before they buy them though and I am glad I tried protools which I could use decently with someone who has it, but I hate protools because of how many problems I got and some of them are hard to fix and the ugly af user interface 😂 I hate how prootools is the most used just because it didn't get discontinued after the first daw was made so it was the sencond daw to be made, but at least I know how to use it decently now.

can someone please explain how to get the 4k download to ableton?

😂😂 look legit that puppet is a beast 😂🤷🏼‍♂️

You’re the single greatest RU-vidr. Puppet that I HAVE to take seriously. Great information. And WholeLoops is GENIUS. Your ad was fantastic. I love it, subbed.

The puppet is actually talking lol

That beat is super hard

I came to read the comments while watching the video, then the whole loops ad comes on. I legit thought I was listening to a real ad. 😂😂 I used to work at Whole Foods so this makes me laugh.

I was like wft I have an ad block? 7:15

I love when the bass sings a 3rd

Why are you using Impulse instead of a drum rack, is the sound better or is there some another reason? Help.

thanks for not showing the step of importing the sample from 4k video into ableton. pretty important step. don't assume we know certain steps

What were you doing in the beginning when you turned on the metronome and clicked the bpm to make the sample expand?

He said now we good money, “Hey Hey Hey” official Trap Puppet!!

what did you use to shortcut all the keys you used for recording the drums? im guessing you mapped em, in which case, how do you do so?

Reid is like the Mr Rodgers and Joe Pera of producing

I love this channel so freakiing much

"woah it's a fast sample, 188 bpm" yeah, or maybe it's actually 95 bpm.

hahahahaha

Awesome video my g

Nice tips! I've always used the session view for warping. Arrangement view seems way easier for this. You've converted me!

why is that everytime somebody uses the AL stretching in a RU-vid video it works out so great and I when I do it myself I always get those weird errors? lol

The head bob killls me! Love these tutorials

Hey man. How did you know you were in C when you added the grand piano?

Nice! 👍🏾

🔥🔥🔥. This is why you're the realest puppet in the game. Love your tutorials fam.

Yo this is dope!!!! Glad i just discovered this channel

Good vid man

wow

U always inspire me, thanks so much bro!

But if I want to add my own melody, how do I find out what key I need to be in?

0:10 his voice does two tones o.O

dude we cant see half the screen

Please can someone tell me how to stretch the sample like this in order to match the bpm after the clip has been chopped??? I’m sick of setting time markers on my vocals only for it to sound shite 🤦🏻‍♂️ Any help much appreciated

So I tried to follow how you did it but I got lost in the beginning cause you skipped the part where you loaded the sample in ableton....rendering the video useless!

Since I've discovered this channel I'm not doing music anymure ,just chiloling watching this puppet....tooo many video....just n oticed the cat in the background ...chilled as f him as well....

i came for the tutorial and subscribed for the puppet

Bro I'm learning from a Muppet! Even more than real persons in real life. What a life.

tune your subs man

U r the best pllllz more pitch correction

Did someone already told you that your voice is very relaxi to listen?

why does my midid track dont have volume faders, the only way to adjust the volume is to go on the sample controls and change the volume, and you seem to have fader knobs on each midi track

"I'm in love with the shape of you" came to mind when I heard the melody

Realest puppet in the game

Hey Reid, thanks for the great video. What's the legal deal with getting samples from RU-vid like this? I'd hate to do this, make a nice track, and then come into issues later on. Thanks for all your work!

i know you expect more of me but plz tell me what the cmds mean not just what the shortcut is.

How’d you get the audio from RU-vid into ableton?

your voice really fits the puppet hahahha awesome
