Ableton Looper has a secret super power. You can tap Looper's effect insert and when it is in overdub mode, you can instantly commit effect changes right into the loop! Live looping takes on a whole new context when you can change and morph the loops after you've laid them down!

There is so much info available online, but I absolutely cannot wait to take one of your courses. Having everything in one place and concisely covering everything is going to take a lot of frustration out of learning.

Especially with Abelton. As soon as I learn one thing, it creates four more things I don't understand.

Thank you for your work!

When you gave the demonstration, I said to myself “my mind is blown, ” and then you said “hopefully your mind is a little blown right now.” Indeed it was sir!

[bcornels]

Ned Rush also has a video on this concept but you've both covered different aspects of it. I love how you've framed it as being able to fade out the previous loop and add iteratively. Fantastic stuff as always.

I never got my head around the looper...Now I got it.. and it's mindblowing.. thank you!

Another amazing thing you can do that most peeps do not do with the Looper. You can add a Utility before input, and use a CC to change the pan position. By doing this before you hit record, you can create multi-layered loops that are spread out.

MIND BLOWN 🤯 So stoked to go through the Live Perfomance course

The knowledge density of Seed to Stage tutorials is unmatched. Anthony don't miss!

Back when I taught Ableton Live tricks, my go-to "impresser" was putting a looper on a return, set feedback to zero, and feeding it back into itself, so you got the effect that you have set up here. I loooove that you can do it inside the tracks now, since recording that output gets a lot easier.

My mans. You are the dude. I’m seeing possibilities here, very exciting!

[loicvalenti]

New logo is cuuute, and the video is really inspiring, good job !

[curioustin]

Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing. 🥰 My jaw dropped. Finally got it back up again after your video was done playing. 😅

Muy bueno este feature, no lo conocía, GRACIAS!

[torubeat]

man had no idea this routing possibility existed. thanks so much for this bro

[TomBartonMusic]

Brillant, thanks so much. This has helped me overcome a major limitation of Ableton's Looper - the lack of a true feedback-style decay, which most good hardware (delay-based) loopers have. Looper's "feedback" really only reduces the volume of existing loops so long as you're overdubbing new parts. This is annoying! But thanks to this insert option, now I can "fade out" an existing loop by riding the FX insert track's fader while looper is in overdub mode. That will work!

[paulgruner]

Great tips for the effects loop and loop insert! Thanks

[sarielorenda]

Wow, man that is amazing ! Keep the good work!

[nichetone]

This is WILD. Seems like such a cool way to constantly keep the loop interesting.

And when you said "reinforce the loop" towards the end, it made me think about how it probably adds so much more character to play the part again against anything new you've brought into the track vs just hearing the initial way you played the loop. Allows for a lot more dynamic interest.

Thanks for sharing this!

[anadoluozani]

Man you really prepare and encourage me for my future performances. Thank you so much.

[tyeblee]

Alll this videos! Give me all the videos nom noM 🙏 can’t wait to see what this new course is about!

Worth to mention using this method for sound design only works if you actually record audio of what you are doing. For example record 8 bar clips using follow actions so you don’t need to stop to mouse drag your clips while jamming in a flow.
