This Ableton Rack is Basically a Ghost Producer (Advanced Tutorial)

Показать описание

Even advanced Ableton users get writer's block sometimes, and it's nice to have a few tricks in the bag to get past these dry spells and jumpstart inspiration. In this Ableton Quick Tip tutorial, I'll be briefly outlining a great technique for setting up a Drum Rack and generating endless, randomized sample sequences.

This sounds like somthing SpongeBob would cook up

Even Mozart used randomisation in his Dice Music compositions. Aleatoric composition is just another method of composing.

A few people have commented that this technique is "lazy" or doesn't count as music composition. I get where they're coming from, but I think they're failing to understand 3 things:
1. In the video above, you're hearing raw material as it comes out of the rack. The bits and pieces I kept and arranged prior to making this tutorial are silenced, it's not supposed to sound like that when you're done editing.
2. I solo'd the drums and rack so you could hear what's going on, but this project had 46 total tracks and wasn't even finished. I used the rack on 3 of them, for ONE section of the arrangement. Nobody makes an entire song out of a single technique, but perhaps the video's title implied that you can, in which case my bad.
3. If you're going to condemn using something like this on 3 tracks out of 46, you should also condemn stuff like hi-hat and shaker loops as well. At which point you're nearing the danger zone of becoming a musical purist who believes you have to make your own kick drums to call yourself a true producer. The point of music is to feel good, make you dance, enhance your life. If you listen to people who overanalyze and try to make it about ego, you're probably missing the whole point.

This is great thinking! Such an easy thing to do but at least me, never crossed my mind. More tips like this are welcome, but film it horizontally next time, please ;)

Very straightforward without telling a useless story about random crap. Like

This is so smart and epic. Funny how you can overlook these tricks!!!❤️

Music composition is really just data entry at this point.

Easier to use LFO to randomize sample selection, that way you’re able to have more deliberate rhythm. Sampler tho

Man this is such a cool idea. I've always thought changing sounds randomly without intuitive bias gives you sounds and ideas you wouldnt have even come close to. I've often experimented with randomising macros in Ableton audio effect rack but this is a whole new world. Thanks so much and keep up the great content!
