After the last video, I received plenty of questions as to how to do reverse looping with your sampler if it doesn’t have that function? (e.g., Maschine still doesn’t have it, Ableton Simpler doesn’t have it).
I did a video on an old trusted method of mine that’s been providing me with seamless breakbeats for a long time now even if all my samplers don’t have a reverse loop ability.
Doing this with Ableton Live and its handy integration with 3rd party audio editors, but this can be done with any daw.

I did a little video on some D&B break fundamentals. More to come; will get deeper.

This rose from a convo with a friend: to make plenty of shorter loops you’d work on later – or always see the effort and go for full songs instead?

I have been in that position where a label wants a release from me and I send them 1-minute clips, and they tell me “It’s nice but send full songs” Continue reading “Full songs or nothing!” →

I’m giving away one license to Future Audio Workshop’s wonderful Circle2 synth. Check it out at www.futureaudioworkshop.com and let me know why you should have it: leave a comment on this post and I’ll pick the winner on Fri 29 Jan and let him/her know personally by replying on the comment.

Demonstrating here how the warping capabilities of the new Ableton 9.5 Simpler are great for warping drumloops, and with the Glide function, a ”timestretch” sort of effect can easily be achieved while still keeping the beat on time.

I did a video on how the new Ableton 9.5 Simpler + warping is great for doing chords with vocal samples. This technology did not exist until 9.5.
