You haven’t even shown the sequencers in either of these plugins. Or anything else about them other than choosing sounds ! C’mon

These videos age and mislead as the softwares update. Continue to dominate with updated videos as each software integrates new features.

this is exactly the melody I had in mind when I searched for "two note trap beat"

bro you have your samples divided by year, thats crazy. idek why you'd do that.

Atlas is light years beyond XO.

I was really set on atlas 2 but I wanted to make sure I was getting the best plugin overall. I even tested out both of them, and I felt like atlas 2 is more for the common enjoyer of a music fan. While XO felt more professional and geared towards producers. With all the research I’ve done XO is the better plugin, personally. But I still loved atlas 2 for its bright colors and the random generator, it felt so lively while XO looks dead lol.

Atlas has one of the best features out there. CREATES A RANDOM KIT WITH THE CLICK OF A BUTTON. It eliminates the entire, time consuming process of going snare by snare, kit by kit. It became one of the starting points in my personal template.

I use XO al the time, with my daw as sequencer

Great comparison! Is XO limited to 8 lanes, while Atlas starts with 4x4 grid up to 8x8? It looks like neither have a mixer? Not a deal breaker for me as I prefer to mix in my DAW. The cloud or bubble browser and kit maker are cool concepts. I was using ADSR Sample Manger (free) and probably will continue as more than 40% of my samples are non-drum, but 60% are and either XO or Atlas 2 would be awesome. 😀

Xo

Atlas can do polyrhythms

currently testing atlas 2. but the most important feature is missing. being able to search for your samples. i really don't care much about the map i just want a quick way to search through my library. am i missing something?

BlackFriday XO!!

them monitors are WAAAAAY to big for your room. Bigger is not always better

Does anyone know how t minus gets the space map on XO in the corner of his daw and just drags them in?

Atlas 2 is out now, it has a step sequencer too, much more flexible than XO I think.

Thank you for the vídeo! Try Sononym

Altas 2.0

Is back on sale at different vendors Aug 2021. It's not the lowest price but with membership discounts, it'll come out low.

Good initial presentation. There's a world more in XO that you didn't even scratch. So much more. Nonetheless, good intro to the comparison. You should make a part 2.

Just subbed🐝ZzZzzzz

Atlas just came out with 2.0

Can I grab my personal .wav samples from directly within the browser in Atlas?

Now do Atlas 2!

yup best xo vid ive seen thank you

Hey, beautiful review. Great work.

learned a cool trick other tutorials didnt include. heres a t humbs! keep at it!

We all like to get super complex but in reality it's beats like this that many rappers actually like. The simpler it is the harder it sounds.

great review, thanks!

XO has an amazing beat&sound editing interface as well so the presets arent just presets you can edit them or create new ones. It was just in the edit tab. You actually can create quite complex patterns and even edit the sounds youd picked with fxs filters etc its amazing. its actually such a underrated software that im always surprised that no ones talking about it

Cheers, got XO and love it.

And It Will Be Beautiful If Voices Are Not Exploding ...

I own both and hands down XO is better, especially for programming beats.

it's a pity I didn't know this half a year ago, it would have saved me a few days of my life!

what DAW are you using?

easier in ableton live 11 now

Thanks for the good video. I didn't know about Atlas. Yours is the best XO video I've seen so far: you showed more features, and that makes me more interested in purchasing. Cheers!

You can do all this in arrangement view... just set a loop region and start recording. No need to drag from session view. Thanks for the vid.

Great video! To the point and answered all questions I had about both. Subbed.

Ableton 11 is adding a comping feature, so we won’t have to use hacks anymore to do comping.

This is pretty slick. Like it. What keyboard shortcuts are you using to move the loop section around?

Which one has better performance? Im not looking for something with the most features but just the one that runs well and doesnt feel slow

Hey, Scott- thank you so much for the great tutorial! As a long-time gig/session musician myself, and now as a home studio composer/producer, anything that saves me time, especially saving lots of time, is great! Comping is just one such massive time saver- but you've proven that you don't have to skimp on quality (if done properly, as in your impromptu piece), which also is very important. I really enjoyed your ad hoc jam, here, which clearly demonstrates your talent as well as this great feature of Abelton. It also sounds completely un-like a computer/robot production from a lab, somewhere. It grooves, it fits together nicely, sounds completely natural, and isn't quantized-to-death. LOL! As a years-long Cubase, Studio One user myself, and normally doing songs and entire film/video scores, I have decided to take a second look at Ableton Live to help me produce more, and in less time, and this is one great feature that gets my attention. Once again, saving time- or better stated- maximizing time, is crucial for maximum output of maximum quality, while keeping the creativity/inspiration flowing. Thank you again, for the great video, and I wish you all the best on your personal music adventures. I'll try a demo of Ableton Live and check it out. Side Note: I know that Cubase and Studio One also have comping features, and they both are great DAWs in many ways, but they still are a bit of a pain to work with on long stretches, and what you were able to do here, with the great quality of the final product, and in a fraction of the time it normally would take in those other DAWs, proves the worth of Ableton as more than just a loop/live program. Bravo! Ableton- hire this man! (:

Nice video!!!

Algonaut made it first, XLN made it better.

Cant u make separate channels for bass snare etc so that we can mix them individually

Really nice tutorial!!

good explanation and straight to the point. not the boring ones

is there a way to deselect the core content from the space view?

Excellent video. In depth review and straight to the point. Subscribed.
