Thank you so much I bought a midi controller thinking how hard can it be to loop stuff as i've dj'ed for a number of years only to find out what a mine field Ableton Live is. I really appreciate this video which makes the simple just that simple. Sometimes producers of video content on you tube forget that some people are literally novices & they try to make others run before they can walk your video helped me to walk without getting lost. So thank you.🙏🙏👍

Thank you Kate...I am coming from years dealing with Logic and I am currently jumping into the world of Ableton...Seems a bit more flexible than Logic. The downside at the moment is that I have a LIte version which was given by Arturia, so I only have 8 tracks to deal with so I may need to have a full version.

Ah so helpful what your teaching but your so quick I can’t even keep up haha

How do you export the loop as a sample? I really like this idea :)

[mayasun]

hi! thanks for this. It helped me sooo much! I had two question. first, is you hit some key that allowed you to carry a drum beat throughout the entire loop - seemingly - without copy/pasting. How did you do that? And second, how would you put the loop through ought and entire song? Just copy/paste? sorry! I'm very new to this!

[thegreatcatsby]

Question: Is there a way to make one sound stop when another is triggered. For instance, triangle and open triangle. When the closed triangle his triggered, I want the open triangle to stop.
