We’ve already covered how to use MIDI effects in Ableton Live to generate basslines and melodies in the two previous episodes on generative music with Ableton Live. Now, let’s check out chord generation. It can be challenging to come up
In the world of music production, finding fresh and unique melodies can sometimes feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. In this article, we will explore how you can use Ableton Live’s MIDI effects to generate infinite melodies that can provide the creative spark for a new track when it’s lacking.
Generating music can be an amazing way to come up with new ideas when creativity doesn’t strike. It can also be a useful tool for those with no or very little music theory knowledge. In this first episode we’ll be looking at how to generate basslines.
Sometimes you might have used an audio file in multiple times in an arrangement in Ableton Live just to realise that the sound doesn’t quite fit anymore and you’d like to replace it. In this episode of the Ableton Live Insider Tips I show you a simple trick how you can swap out all of them at once.
In this video tutorial I’m going to show you five tricks on how you can use the arpeggiator for drums and percussion. At the same time we’re going to look at the often underused features of the MIDI effect in to achieve more depth for our drum arpeggios.
If you have a lot of folders added to Places in Ableton Live’s Browser, then it might become more difficult to spot what you’re looking for. So for this reason I’m sharing a trick on how to visually organise these folders better in this latest episode of the Ableton Insider Tips.
In this video tutorial I’ll show you fastest way to set or adjust the start and/or end markers of audio or MIDI clips, or the loop braces in clips or the Arrangement View.
Since Live 11 came out I’ve created 11 individual themes sets consisting of five themes for Ableton Live 11 each. Since there is ample interest in all of them, I thought I’d combine them all together into one mega pack for you. So it’s easier to download them all.
We’re going to use Ableton’s Shaper (or LFO) to give us the possibility to macro map any parameter in the whole Live Set within a rack, or actually even up to 8 parameters all to one macro.
Over the last month or so I’ve carefully designed lots of presets for the new Drift synth included in Live 11.3. The result is a self-installing Live Pack with 64 presets total. 42 of them Drift presets, 22 Instrument Racks.
In this episode of the Ableton Live Quick Tips, I show you how can stop Live from automatically updating completely or to ask beforehand, so you can do it manually instead. I also explain how you can downgrade Ableton Live in case an automatically updated new version is causing you issues.
Push 2 Pedal Expression was created by Ableton developer Ralf Suckow. It allows you to calibrate one or two passive analog expression pedals plugged into Push 2, and use various MIDI control changes to control parameters in your Live Set.
