This week, we welcome back Haterade for an all-new ‘How To Sound Like’ course where he takes on a Tech House classic ‘Drugs from Amsterdam’ by Mau P.
Mau P is making a major impact on the house music scene. The Amsterdam native eats, breathes and sleeps music. His debut single “Drugs From Amsterdam” was one of the hottest tracks in the scene over the summer, being played at every major festival.
Noah has supplied everything you need in the resources, including his designed ANA 2 presets, so you can easily follow along and quickly piece this one together or alternatively change things up to get your own sound.
Although there aren’t too many elements in this track, the groove really comes into its own by automating build-ups and drops, along with some varied vocal chops and transitions.
Hi. I have problem importing most of the aif files (Cubase on Mac). Also if I want to convert them, I get same error on different convert tools - “could not find COMM tag…”. Is it only my problem or are the files corrupted? For example Cowbell SP.aif, Hihat Shy Closed.aif etc…
Some issue were reported with Cubase but not with Ableton Live.
When this happens inside Ableton Live, you can click on the error message at the bottom of the interface and it should open the project file manager and point out what samples or files are missing, from there you can re-link those files.
I know what you’re saying but there are 21 files missing and can’t be found. Maybe it’s a Mac upgrade issue. I often have those with Ableton (why I mostly stick with LP). Anyway, sounds like it’s on my end. Fun song, though. Thanks!
Update: I think those samples are corrupt, they play on WINDOWS in wav but try loading them in ABLETON. I’ve downloaded 3 times, and downloaded from other pack here at SA, and then other sources and they all worked
Any specific sample name(s) you’re having issue with ??
Downloaded the Samples foder here and tried to Drag & Drop some .aif and also the .wav file into Ableton Live’s 11 audio tracks on Windows 11 and have no issue.
More of these please. This has helped me so much - im a total beginner and this is helping to boost my uderstanding of how a song is constructedl. Very well done!! I didn’t have any issues with the files.
Hey there guys, someone else reported an issue with the samples files not loading into Ableton Live or loading but clipped ( Live 11 → Files loading but Clipped // Live 12 → Files not loading ).
Seems that the 32bit format can cause some issues, a new Samples 24 Bit .zip archive has been added to the course resources downloads, please use this one if you’re still having issue
