kinda noobish question but in 1st video of Tech House tut 2011, after using recycle i get only one midi file (not sliced) iam reletive new to ableton…so how can i get that loop sliced? boring to slice 1 by 1 :S like i used to in FL.

and iam using pc so when i export the file from recycle… it just exports as a midi file, cant choose bit rates etc. is it just on pc like that ?

I think you just need to select the output format. To aif or wav

This one is probably a little off what you want to do, but it is great:

This is the housier side of Tech House

Just watched the second batch of vids, great stuff again Phil!!! Hopefully the third set gets posted soon, waiting is torture lol:w00t:

i am wondering the fact that you cut all that different slices from some Tracks and make all this complicated work in Recycle !

Why you are doing this !

I think its smarter to buy of course a good Sampling CD, and use the Slice to Midi function in Live , or take the REX Files and do the same !!

Same result and saves a lot of time !!!

Dont get me wrong, the Turorial is Amazing !!!! <br> <br> But its a Frickle Thing

phil_johnston · September 5, 2011, 9:23pm

yeah you could do that!

I just wanted to show the whole procedure from cutting audio to slicing.

we also cant give away samples from other peoples sample CDs.

alinenunez · September 11, 2011, 8:07pm

i have one question. about making the lead with percussion. i noticed when we try to program the percussion with a sampler it just sounds very artificial. and the whole loops sounds too cluttered.

so if i just use the percussion loops and cut off the percussion sound to make like a call and response thing. do you think that this would be better than programming with a sampler?

cant wait for the next tutorials.

phil_johnston · September 11, 2011, 9:22pm

I think using a sampler gives you way more control to get your riff “in the pocket” of the groove.

You might think about scaling back the other percussion or using the same sidechain technique i used.

One thing that i gpdont think people do enough is just remove one part for another… So when the main perc riff comes in you drop the other stuff.

If you think about it in terms of a band… The guitars dont just keep getting added upon, they just change what they are playing.

So if you are a finding you dont have enough space you can drop other stuff out… Then if you are finding you arnt getting a big enough lift you can add some top end stuff to create that… Maybe more shakers, tambs or hats.

This is one track that I am really into at the moment would love to see some aspects of this included in the next few vids. Also, When is the next batch of tuts likely to be uploaded? 100% loving this so far. Cheers.
