Mr. Bill, I’m just now finding your tuts and I gotta say thank you man! literally every tutorial I’ve watched has been so helpful, hope you’re doing well, cheers!
Even though the placeholder was unnecessary, the whole toolbox in dropbox is such a simple but great idea. Loads of artists probably do that already, but I never even thought about it :P Every single one of your tutorials are so valuable, fast and quick and straight to the point. Amazing stuff.
I love that you freely offer this killer advice to other producers. I find these incredibly useful and inspiring. Thanks very much. I really dug this one.
this is brilliant, as usual. you probably don't need a placeholder/silence track for this type of workflow. what I do is just duplicate the little piece I'm working on and press '0' to deactivate the duplicate, and then scrub (as long as there's any clip after the one your scrubbing through, it won't redraw the clip longer). another fun fact: you can scrub through audio samples with warped audio without the need for a placeholder as long as 'loop' is enabled in the sample settings. toolbox++ mr bill++
If you don't wanna use that placeholder thing, if you just turn looping on you can scrub through the sample with the start flag without changing the clip length ;)
Hey mate, love your tuts, just a wee note that you might not have considered - you can fix that MASTER latency by using the Drive Error Compensation in settings. Keep up the good work.
I wish Ableton was better at clean timestretching. I mean I love making glitchy rythmic sounds by going crazy with samples on 'Beat' warping/stretching mode, but for clean timestretching, I rarely get results I like. Things always sound weird & distorted. I've heard some really good LOOOOONG timestretching tricks (in released tracks). Is there any way to do this in Live (the closest I can think is by cleverly cutting & reversing sample sections, but that'd only work with certain types of sounds IMO) or would I have to use another program to get clean stretching results?
ncshuriken complex warp mode is your best bet within ableton, outside of ableton there's a program called paulstretch that's capable of hours worth of time stretching at a smooth level ^^
i usually do is instead of using a placeholder sample, i just quickly duplicate and disable the clip i'm working with using key commands. (ctrl+d, then "0" on windows) though i must admit that i first started using the placeholder technique after watching one of your live streams.
I'm always looking for excuse to resample some part of track using unusual warp engines :) Especially useful in like neurofunk stuff. And that's what makes Ableton different from other DAWs. But still plugin delay compensation is horrible in Live... #everybodydies Thanks for the tutorial though :)
Buenísimo. I've been just looking for a -manual- way to glitch up my sounds without having to use any of those "auto glitch in a click" plugins. This is creative stuff.
