i check eigentlich gar nix was du meinst .. welches material is in 15 min aufgebraucht ?

was meinst du denn damit ??

ja die Parameter am synth kannst logischerweise mit deinem behringer ansprechen. d.h. du klickst auf midi und routest dir die parameter auf deine verschiedene knöpfe/regler etc .. ist ja auch eine fernbedienung ..

Wie arrangiere ich einen Song?

Using and Misusing Groove Extraction

Ableton Live 8 is here, and by now, you're like familiar with some of its banner features. But we wanted to learn more about how features could be used in creative, new ways, or even misused. I sat down with Ableton's Dennis DeSantis in the Ableton office here in New York to talk about some creative applications of new Live 8 features, starting with groove extraction and quantization.

Dennis is the right guy to consult when it comes to rhythm: he's a talented composer, a classically-trained percussionist, and a founding former member of the ground-breaking Alarm Will Sound ensemble, which plays music from Varese to Aphex Twin. (Dennis himself was responsible for some of those Aphex Twin remixes.)

In part 1 of our 3-part series, Dennis looks at ways in which groove extraction can be used as a powerful dynamic quantization tool. That was always my hope for Live, going back to very early versions; it was incredibly frustrating that you had only limited, mechanical-sounding "swing" features that couldn't be controlled. To some, Groove Extraction may simply mean copping specific grooves from samples, but it's actually capable of dialing in a custom groove with real ease.

In part 2, Dennis shows how a similar technique can bring a simple percussion pattern to life, replicating the sorts of organic variations that happen with real players.

Continuing our growing collection of Live 8 video tutorials, our friend Bjorn of Covert Operators sends over a terrific tutorial on making use of the vocoder. Now, unlike the "misuse" tutorials we've been running, this is actually how this effect is designed to be used. On the other hand, if you're still interested in misuse – and you're not terribly interested in conventional effects – this can be a great way to wrap your head around the tool's proper function, before you start warping it in another direction.

I think it'll be fantastic having a vocoder ready to use, and if you haven't played with a software vocoder, Live 8 should be a nice place to start. If any of you take this in another direction, do let us know.

Covert Operators has a whole bunch of downloads, tips, and tricks some available cheap, some free.



Encounters for Live 8 looks especially interesting. It's a Live Pack intended specifically for performance and DJing, with some interesting bits and pieces:

• 25 Arpeggiator racks
• 40 effect racks geared for live playing – with some specifically designed for Live 8
• 50 Groove presets, taking advantage of Live 8's new groove extraction
• 100 Dummy Clips for triggering automation

That's the first time I've seen a download of Dummy Clips. Trigger these, and you can control other instruments, audio, and effects using dynamic envelopes. If that starts to piqué your interest, the Covert Operators have done a tutorial on how to use these clips

Warp: Engage
The new Warp Mode in Live may actually be friendlier to new users; it's existing users, accustomed to the previous way of working, who seem thrown for a loop. (Erm… excuse the pun.) I'm at a bit of a disadvantage myself in that I tend not to do a lot of warping/remixing. But Medway Studios has a set of tutorials specifically geared for people wanting some tips on how to assimilate the new working method

General Tips

• Hidden buttons visible when in midi or key assign mode = scene up/down (in master track).
• per track play button - launches selected clip in track.
• Entering bpm in the scene launch buttons title sets bpm when launched.
• Click the headphone icon in midi editor to enable vertical keyboard to preview related sound.
• While MIDI synced to external machine hosting Live ALT+SPACEBAR on the sync slave causes it to sync to the masters current song position. (remedy for sync drifting without stopping and starting).
• Remember to experiment with the default live rack presets especially the DJ/Performance ones.
• GIGA libraries can be exported to Sampler then deleted (if required), as all samples are copied to the library.
• Mac users check out a free app called Soundsource. It adds an audio prefs selector to the menu-bar.
• OSX Function keys = ALT+F1/F2 opens Display Prefs, ALT+F3/F4/F5 opens Sound Prefs, ALT+F8/F9/F10 opens Keyboard & Mouse Prefs.
• When a new version of Live is released. Open Info Window (SHIFT+/) and hover any new parameters, fields or preferences.
• Multiple tracks can be selected and frozen simultaneously.
• Drag and drop tracks directly from iTunes for DJing.
• Dragging a sample onto a plugin instrument will replace the instrument with an instance of Simpler containing that sample.

Kann ich irgendwo einstellen, dass ich nur Audio aufnehmen möcht, aber keine Midi-Automationen?

Wenn der Button für empfangene Midi-Signale bei jedem Bewegen eines Reglers leuchtet, sollte das doch heißen, dass Midi Signale im Ableton ankommen. Komischerweis kann ich aber weder Midi zuweisen noch regeln, sprich es tut sich nix... woran kann das liegen? Unter Windows hats noch gworked, am Mac nimmer... gibts zwecks Midi und Mac leicht was Besonderes zu wissen?

Advanced Ableton Live Tutorial: Modular-Style Unlinked Envelopes, Effects

Exclusive to CDM (and Vimeo), Live guru Gustavo Bravetti offers a deep tutorial in sound creation in Ableton using "unlinked envelopes." He assembles quasi-modular routings of effects into one another to create some unusual sounds. I think there are some inspiring techniques here, even beyond Ableton Live – I'd watch it even if I weren't a Live user.

Gustavo writes:

"This workshop demo video is about using Live's unique clip unlinked envelopes and Ableton's effects to easily create elaborated sequenced sounds as well as a "how to" create a bass, a tuned bass drum, a clap and hi hats."

So, what's the beauty of the "unlinked envelope"? By separating the envelope length from the length of a sample, you can take a sample of one length and modulate it in time independently with an envelope of a different length. A short sample can warp in a longer block of time for more variety – a 1/16th note sample, for instance, transformed over a bar or two. Add the ability to route the envelope into effect modulation, and you can start to think extreme sonic freakiness. Here, that serves Gustavo's own electronic palette, but it could suit a variety of musical aims.

You can also go the opposite direction: you could take a long sample and modulate it with a short envelope. For instance, you could select a 30-second oscillating texture, and apply a very short envelope, like a single sixteenth-note peak, in order to create an evolving high hat.

You can think of the unlinked envelope as a modulation source for a variety of sonic targets. It could be a short sample, a chain of effects, or a synth. Here, Gustavo sticks to built-in Live devices, but you could easily add your own plug-ins of choice – especially now that Live has added the ability to more easily choose which third-party plug-in parameters you wish to target.

Part of why I say this is about more than just Live is that you can begin to see how thinking in envelopes can make your musical content more dynamic, a technique you can apply to any environment that allows this sort of routing. It certainly illustrates the power of Live in a way that I think a lot of people miss.

To watch the full HD version, head to Gustavo's Vimeo account.

I'm going to be organizing a compendium of our best Live tutorials soon; if you have external tutorials you'd like us to link up, let us know.

Man mache einfach für 5 verschiedene snares 5 eigene audiotracks, die ich dann per bedarf aktiviere und deaktiviere, da das aber im schlimmsten fall zu knacksern und ausstzern führt, bzw die gesammt cpu belastung in die höhe treibt, ist die lösung alles andere als das was brauchbar wäre

macht der dann nicht lauter kleine simpler module auf? zwecks resourcen---whatever, werd das am WE mal testen -thx

Wenn du den Parameter, den du automatisiert hast selber nochmal bewegst, dann deaktiviert Ableton die aufgezeichnete Kurve. Das äußert sich durch das einfärben wie du gemeint hast. Geh mal in die LIVE-Ansicht und starte einen Loop in einer Spur, die in der Arrangier-Ansicht eigentlich schon was spielt, dann passiert das selbe mit dem ganzen Clip.
Oben rechts neben Play-Stop-Record und der OVR Taste ist ein kleines Kästchen mit 3 Strichen und einem Pfeil. Sobald Ableton irgendwas in der Arrangier-Ansicht ignoriert leuchtet diese Taste rot auf. Klickt man drauf wird alles wieder so gespielt, wie´s in der Arrangier-Aansicht ist.
