Great course, P-LASK has an amazing workflow and great musical ideas. Really enjoyed following him all along.
really helpful course!!
clear good tutorial how i like it 
The drum programming is ace. Now I have to have to scrub thru the videos to find the juicy bits.
Hi there,
Awesome tutorial, I had to buy this one!
@:48 how are you able to select the MIDI track without arming it and
load the sample into the Simpler device without getting a clear STOP sign?
It wont allow me to drag & drop the Vinyl Noise.wav file directly to the midi track like yours does.
Are your preference settings different?
I’m using Live 10.1.30
Thanks
Hey there @Gmann
For the drag & drop audio sample feature inside Live, you need to drag & drop your audio sample onto the Device Slot of an empty Midi Track, Live will then load a new Simpler Device with your audio sample inside. If you drag & drop the audio sample directly onto the Midi Track ( instead of the Device Slot ) Live will convert the Midi Track into an Audio track and load the sample as simple audio file.
Not sure what you mean with “without getting a clear Stop sign” in your other question, there’s a different behaviour depending if your using Live in Session or Arrangement view I think. Now for track arming behaviour on track selection, there are some settings that you can play with in the Record/Warp/Launch section within Live’s Preferences, but there’s also another way to influence this behaviour by using the options.txt file feature which is still working inside Live 10 ( even if some features are only working under live 9 ).
More about the Options.txt file here on Ableton’s website, and for this specific option about automatic track arming, you can check this video.
Hope this helps 
Cheers !
Hey there,
I compared the Track “To Move It”: the tutorial version after mastering with the released track (on youtube).
And it seems like the released version sounds more finetuned. The mix is a bit diffrent (especially the Open Hat Stereo mix) and the master sounds denser, the low end more stable. Overall the released version sound more professional to me.
So I ask myself: what happened with the track after the tutorial was recorded? Did the producer send it to a mixing engineer and after that to an even more specialised mastering engineer?
The tutorial is good, but I ask myself if I see the real deal here
kind regards
Daniel
The tutorial is showing you how the track was made & engineered inside the DAW, from scratch until final mixing stage and version. What happens after that in terms of mastering, 3rd party engineering before release is not part of the course.
Mixing and Mastering are 2 different things, next to that, even if a producer would be showing a final master version, it won’t sound exactly the same as what you can stream or listen to online or find on another support anyway, there’s other audio processing taking place such as compression or level normalization affecting tracks when they are uploaded or printed to a physical media.
The goal with those courses is not to get the exact same sound but rather get the chance to see how the track was made from start to finish, it’s OK to compare a release version to get an idea how the track was pushed a bit further, but yes, its never gonna sound the same as the mixing version from the course and again, getting the same copy-cat sound is not the point of those tutorials.
Allright, thank you!

I love your technique for creating “Scene Concepts”. A lot of courses/instructors I’ve seen skip this and jump straight into the Arrangement View. Both methods eventually get the job done, but this method seems so much more efficient during the experimentation phase. Thank you!!
