WHOA you're right

I must say the initial steps trying to record stuff are painful. It just seems illogical that a record button wouldn't record the currently highlighted part! So easy to miss the "arm" and "session record" buttons. Ugh, so annoying - I don't think I've had this much initial frustration with any other DAW. Glad I found this video - I was able to figure out the rest! Not sure I'm sticking with it though - the UX just doesn't feel great.

It's annoying. So many great tutorials are specific to Ableton, because a lot of really great professionals favour it. Obviously it's a very powerful tool. But the UX is not great in my opinion either, extremely non-intuitive and all the worse for anyone familiar with literally any other DAW. Very basic things that you take for granted on other DAWs are just missing or buried in Ableton, so you end up scanning the internet and the manual to figure out something you can figure out even in something like Audacity on instinct and common sense.

First day with a midi, still figuring out the software as well, this is going to be a very interesting time. Thanks for the help

It would be nice if you could do overdub in arrangement view while seeing the notes inside the midi clip

Bro I'd listen to this dank track any day. Got me in my feels..thanks for the tutorial

Does anyone know when you drag a midi note (from the beginning of the midi pattern) back to negative it goes to -1.4 -1.3 negative bars... when those negative bars can be used?

Thanks, is it true that for recording midi you can't record with the small button in the track (like you do with the piano track) but only with the session record button ?

Sweet drum sounds

when i record midi ,lets say a loop it deletes the recorded loop,meaning i hae to stop and press undo to get the stuff i recorded ,any help.

so simple and so good

Is it safe to leave the settings that way and not change it to how it was before?

Nice. Thank you.

Overdub is nice. How do you do multiple takes when recording midi. (overwrite vs overdub) Most of the time you want to do a new take since you flubbed it rather than add more information onto the existing track. For example keep recording your 16 bar loop until you have a take you like, rather than having to erase the prior take each time.

@gabrieldulon4752

Жыл бұрын

you can do overwriting in the arrangement view. You have to enable a loop, then start playing the loop, arm your track and start playing. When the playing bar will arrive at the end of the loop, it will continue to write over the previous take. Unfortunately doing text explanations like this is really hard to understand without showing exactly what i'm talking about, but I hope it was helpful.

What is the Midi overdub button for? I still don’t understand how’s it different. All overdubs of midi in this video were done without using it. Puzzled!?

is there a way to assign the record button to a midi button?

How do you record an outside instrument’s sounds , in my case the Polybrute, as midi notes?

Is it possible to rerecord? For example say I need to redo a recording in the middle of a bar. Is my only option to stop, undo, and record again? Or is there a one button re-record? Which would make things much faster

YO i have an extremely annoying problem. I must have changed a setting somewhere because when I record midi, after the count in i have set up, its like it waits 1 beat before recording starts. One click of the click track before it starts recording. I am at a loss trying to find out what setting i have changed. To be clear, the clock is in sync, it just doesnt start at the same time that ableton starts recording.

in Windows10, LIve 10 seems to have a broken feature. If I record a midi clip in Session that is longer than the looping backgroup music, Live will not record notes near the loop point and will make other notes much longer than they were entered. This does not happen on my Windows7 machine. Has nothing to do with clip quantize, record quantize is always OFF I never use it. Anyway seen this? Have solution?

Great information! Thank you for sharing this!

Nice tutorials and software. I am a complete dummy, so it's all a bit overwhelming for me, but it looks fantastic.

2:23 how did you get there and what button do i click to make it like that

hello, when it comes to recording, MIDI or audio, is there any way to start recording just at the very moment when i start playing notes? i mean the record transport beginning when i start playing not before. thanks.

Thanks this is what I needed I was looking all day for this.

great video but most of the recording rely on the mouse , how do i set the desired recording length of the clip to 1 bar without having to click the clip knowing that i use Novation launchkey 39 MK3 , please how do i liberate myself from mouse , i don't want use it while live performing , please advice

Is this process OK if you just use VST for everything? Because I can't overdub from the same VST when I change preset. It won't record the 2 sounds, but always the last one.

I was wondering to switch back to Fl studio because having some issues you cleared all, I enjoy to create music with midi rather than keyboard and mouse. You save my day!

You helped me.

Amazing

Can anyone put me out of my frustration how do I record key notes from a vst plugin without having to use the laptop keys as the keyboard I just want to use my mouse and click on the keys and record. I’ve never had this before with other daws

For some reason the session record button mutes previously recorded material and does not even record new :(

JUST GIVE IS STANDARD TRIED AND TESTED FOR DECADES LINEAR LOOP RECORDING IN THE ARRANGEMENT VIEW and let people do this for session view. Why do I have to press different buttons for session and arrange view midi loop/overdub recording.. Not only that loop midi recording in arrange view is a bit weird. So, you record one bar and expect the part you recorded to play back instantly but sometimes it doesn't - it waits for a cycle and then begins. Why did it take seven years to add the + button in arrange view for midi loop recording? Anyway, its still not right. Its just a bit off really.

Great video--by far the best presentation of this topic on YT!

So I'm trying to record a beat with the 808 that is built in and its not recording.

In the arrengement view? Have you clicked on the arrow that's on the right side of the track, where the instrument is?

Like many, I tried to follow the steps in this video and it didn't work. It would be far more helpful to start the video with a new session file - there are lots of settings in here that aren't show (tempo, for one, looping, for another, and so on.) A newbie won't understand that they can't just follow along, and the video is designed for newbies. Not helpful.

I tried to like Ableton, but the piano roll forced me to Studio One. If I draw a long note from bars 1 - 4, with a melody on top, and then I loop bars 3 and 4, the held note does not play, even with midi chase on. Why I have to start from the first bar to hear a note is just bonkers compared to other DAW's

I can hear the notes from the drum kit play properly before i hit record but yeah still having the issue where it doesn't record them.
