Everybody was asking for a tutorial on live looping so i finally found the time to do it. I hope you guys like it and get good use out of it. Happy music making :)
Edit: I made some modifications to the subtitles, so guys in other countries than english speaking ones can use the translate tool in youtube and understand better what i am saying. Cheers!

Отличный обзор! Мне, новичку в DAW, очень нравится, много полезной информации по работе с DAW! Интерфейс отличается от FL S и Logic pro, в которых я пробовал писать музыку. Сейчас в поисках видеомонитора, размера экранов ноутбуков не хватает ... Пока не определюсь, хотя пересмотрел много обзоров. Ноутбук MB air M1 (16/256) с Logic pro x на MacOS 13.3. Как вариант под Windows 10 есть ноутбук Acer Swift 3 c установленными несколькими DAW, в том числе Ableton. Оборудование для домашней студии почти собрал, осталось определиться с видеомонитором. Удачи Вам, Мариус!

I need help. I'm trying to make live loops and I have a launchpad and 2 keyboards. All of them are connected to a send which is then connected to a general bus. I have one empty track dedicated to loops, but as soon as I record something with one of those three, the launchpad and the keyboards stops making sounds(even if there is a signal). What could it be?

@22smudger Жыл бұрын

Pretty much every example I see of the Arturia Minilab mk2 is based on it being paired with Ableton. Are you able to use the approach you described here with other DAWs, such as Tracktion Waveform?

@Marius_Tarceatu Жыл бұрын

Well, I can’t speak for other daws as i don’t use them extensively. What i can say is, every Minilab comes with a free version of Ableton that has limitations, but u can use for live looping. Also, midi mapping should work in any daw, the lauching clips part and looping them should be a bigger problem.

@neeliv Жыл бұрын

Appreciate the video, a great resource for someone who is already starting with Arturia like me. I have one question - for some reason I need to keep pad pressed and it is not starting recording. MIDI Mappings are same as on your video. It is because I did not change to 16 note quantanzation (2:30)? If so, can you tell me how can I do that?

@Marius_Tarceatu Жыл бұрын

Check out the answer i gave to Raul Angulo here in the comment section. I think that will solve your problem. I am not on my computer right now but you can check record quantization in one of the drop down menus on the right upper corner. Hope this helps. Cheers!

Set clip launch to 1 bar in the top right corner of Ableton. It’s set as this by default. You can change latency in the soundcard options, or options in Ableton. I usually go for 128 samples for good latency.

You have to have the clips launch in toggle mode which lets you switch on or off the clips with the same play button. I don’t really remember the exact settings, but you can check the clip settings, when you select it, under launch settings.

Have you tried using the Shift+Pad 8 to switch to the ableton specific set of pads? The pads by default are notes on the scale. If there isn't anything you can do, try and change some things in the minilab setup program:midi control center.

@Marius_Tarceatu 2 жыл бұрын

It should be possible, just put your track on one of the ableton clips. Also make sure the track has the same bpm as the one set in ableton! If you just want to play piano alongside a backing track, just switch to arrangement view and drop the track there. Set the bar up top to the length of the track and enable the repeat button.

@Marius_Tarceatu 2 жыл бұрын

Just read your comment again and i understood better what you are trying to say. If you want to live loop with your piano playing, just make sure you play your piano by the metronome in ableton. You can actually see in some of my videos making that very thing. Cheers!

Hi! Great video, I learned a lot. However, if I want to export my loop from ableton, the wav file I get corresponds to the final project (all tracks playing at the same time). However, I'd like to export the audio so that you can hear the instruments recorded one by one in a progressive way (like the loop covers you see on KZfaq). Does anyone know how to do this with Ableton? Thank you in advance!

You can record in arrangement view while you are playing using shift+record button. Then you can bounce to audio.
