The Welsh are well known for their music and this lady is no different. Brilliant.

Side chain compression just clicked for me. I learned how side chaining works a couple months ago but didn't realize how institutional it was to the effect I've been hearing and wondering about for years! That performance was also really cool, it's great to see someone blend all of this analog and digital skill together so organically.

She´s a killer combination of great vocalist, cool experienced keyboardist, technically oriented and super stylish and elegant. There are not so many people on planet Earth :) Well of inspiration

Ableton is a playground. So much fun.

Not only was the song great, but her way of teaching is really great - short and to the point, no fluff anywhere.

Every time I see a video with Rachel K Collier, I walk away convinced that she's a musical genius and that everyone else should just pack it up and go home. I don't even use Ableton. It's just interesting watching insanely talented people work.

Rachel is my favourite musician discovery of the year. Such a gutsy producer with nasty synth sounds, wicked rhythms and an amazing voice! I found her on Andrew Huang's "4 artists, one synth" video. Rachel you are an inspiration! Evident here is your talent at clear communication. Love your speaking voice too.

You're so good at explaining things. This has helped me a lot in my live looping journey. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing the process.

This is the video I have been waiting for from you Rachel! Thank you so much for breaking your process down to the basics so grateful!!!

great video for beginners and was also enjoyable from the perspective of an experienced user. always nice to see the way others take on livelooping in ableton. gives me ideas to potentially add into my workflow. nice job

That was incredibly well explained and presented. And one of the few times I found a live looping performance musically interesting. Chapeau!

Amazing as always Rachel!!

I love the way you guide us through this, and how calming your demeanor and voice is through it all :-)

Really happy to see Ableton do these insightful collabs with a lot of my favorite musical youtubers! Seeing their workflow is cool because it makes us see there’s different ways to things than the way we usually do them.

Dont get more talented, or Easy to follow. I Grabbed a Pencil and Pad. Welldone Ableton for being smart enough to Find this Lady.

Awesome! LOVED seeing the process behind the track. Thanks for sharing!

Ableton live is one of the most flexible daw constructors, it is self-sufficient and functionally straight out of the box, "All in the box", but it would be VERY handy to have the following amenities in Suite: lynier and dynamic option of EQ8 (Must have) Comping, guys, 2020 year. We need it in 10.2 Pitch correction (has even daw which costs 200$, (logi), (cub) stud.one and even FL=D) / ARA2 support MPE support MULTIBAND FX'er (Like in BWS, Stud.one... You can create it in ableton, but it should be native) A native LFO tool. And a much more flexible one than the M4L one that comes with Live Suite. (and indeed it would be useful to add another plugins) Group freeze (would be nice, but not critical) map SOLO button in chain. Group and hide RETURN tracks. (Buses), => no limits on return tracks. Native Loudness meter device. (LUFS, RMS) / integrated LUFS meter in ableton Limiter. Easy and useful. Add a more flexible process of waveshaping with the ability to modulate from the volume level. We want Ableton to be the “Lego constructor” for creating anything else, right up emitting analog sound! full-fledged fullscreen disabling velocity sensitivity in midi keyboards! Thank you very much for your attention! I really hope to see some of the functions in 10.2 p.s www.reddit.com/r/ableton/comments/gj1w8l/ableton_live_102/

If it just had vocal comping, pitch correction, and proper hardware for arrangement/tracking, using Ableton wouldn't be such a hassle to actually do complete projects and finish them. Don't know why they don't have keyboard shortcuts (especially tracking/arrangement) labeled and built into Push pads. I'm supposed to memorize all that crap like I'm a child playing a video game, ...and have a keyboard in the way? Come on!

thank you for the looping setup. definitely gonna try it out. awesome performance RKC

Nice job. Details left out: Definitely has an external mixer. Probably 16 channel. Running stereo pairs into the mixer. The Cue out on 7&8 routed to her headphones on the mixer. The mic she is using for presentation is on a separate external mixer channel. Everything that you hear is recorded to an external device, like a mini Tascam or Zoom digital recorder. The PUSH is only used for play/record/undo, though it could do much more. There is one MIDI track, the kick. You could add many more MIDI tracks and play them with PUSH. Also, Looper would be a great addition here.

@@wizerd2089 I guess her mic is running straight into the interface and using the pre's in that. Like the post above says the live Looper would be helpful here, but also there's so many different ways of doing things in Ableton. I think sometimes keeping things in separate visible clips like this is much easier to manage that using loopers live. In terms of the audio routing, some soundcards don't require you to do it all through sends. I'd just send each channel out to it's stereo out - and then in focusrite control just select what I want to go to headphones. Really great run through of set up though, and actually showing settings and details is super useful and interesting. More please.

Amazing! but i got a question: how set up the clips in every chanel to "record + play" after 1 bar? Its a push´s function or maybe its possible without this? Thanks!

3 жыл бұрын

There's a button on the Push named Fixed Length, which lets you predetermine the clip length. I don't think it's possible without it. However, you could predetermine loop length with Ableton's Looper device, using dummy clips and envelopes, but it's not as convenient as using clips.

Hi, how do you get the clip to record for 4 bars, and then continues to play without stopping it?

Maybe I missed this but never got how she combines all the outputs into the master to send to Front of House. She has dedicated physical outs for each bus rather than using the master (set to 1/2 out). Is she mixing externally from Ableton? Also the Synth was also set to Out 1/2 - same as master which is confusing. Otherwise nice overview.
