Sooo I have been dying to figure out what wolfgang gartner is doing in some songs...
Example: A song like Undertaker.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSidnTd7J3w
I wanted to figure out how he was taking a loop/midi/melody/beat and then chopping it and transposing/stretching/effecting that sample in the manner that he does. It has been eating my brain..
A friend of mine is taking ableton classes in NYC and passed along this video to me:

Basically if you have a midi track or sample you can create clips, then record them...
Once you do this it becomes its own audio track and you could apply FX,transpose & stretch...
The video does it with a drum loop, but it would definitely work the same for midi/melody.
I can't wait to go home and try this...
Anybody ever see this or do something like this? It's definitely a different workflow then I am used to when it comes to playing with samples / chopping / warping..
He only started using Ableton Live recently. Everything before “Yin” was done in Logic. I know “Yin” was done in Live and Logic, but I dont know what he is using now.
you know joe murder(wolfgang) personally howie?or read that somewhere

I think he’s using live & cubase…

I heard he is using cubase for vocals & mixing…
My whole thing was trying to figure out how the hell he stretched chopped up sounds… and do it in Live
I can’t stop listening to undertaker… its soo good.
I think that tutorial video would be workflow to start and try to mess with some sounds.
I’m sure he is doing some other things as well to get his sig sound… but its a start 4 me
he uses cubase for his hardware synths.midi cubase > logic

this makes sense
I’ve seen one of his tips basically saying Freeze>Flatten &Repeat
I really like working like that
Hmmmm interesting, thanks for this good share!!

Freeze>Flatten &Repeat??? what the crud??
Thats v.cool.
Something similar which I do is to drag the warp markers around in the loop until you get grainy rhythmical nonsense.
Can get some interesting sounding stuff out of it, especially if you take a good bit out & put some fx on it.

i assume hes talking about using cubase’s arranger track

No I don’t. But I know someone else very well that has made a big song with him last year. I’m just repeating what he said.
i figured you grabbed that from one of the very few old interviews floating around the net.as of june (e.d.c. l.a.) he was/is using cubase,ableton and logic,most of the heavy lifting being done in cubase and ableton.
