Hey electroatic! Good to hear from you - how you doing?
As always, I’m being a bit slow on the uptake, so I apologise for the questions in advance!
When you say about having a load of clips in a single audio track, do you mean channeling them into a single track or physically having loops etc cut up in different clips? And finally, when you mention grooves, does this mean you’re using Ableton 8? I’m still on 7 but very tempted this month to bite the bullet and go for the upgrade. Is it worth it do you think?
Thanks very much in advance (again!) for the advice - and I’d love to see a video on how you did this. Nice track by the way! 
Hey Wicked, I’m great, thanks for asking!
The track above is literally only two channels.
- a simple 808 kick drum.
- An audio channel with over a hundred individual clips in it.
I’ll put together a simple vid showing the track above and showing a few of the tricks used in it.
hello
very good one !
do you apply a groove in ableton?
if yes how do you do that ?
thx
Great thread. Thanks to those with the tips, did the videos ever get done?
This has given me new inspiration. Thanks again.

A vid showing the track would be wicked. Beat SA to it as its been ages since the last tutorial zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Nice work Electroatic. I would definitely like to see a tutorial on that technique.
All everyone needs to do is do all the patterns for each individual track, write all your midi in. Get a nice sounding track, bounce it down to audio and the two key elements that everyone misses when they are talking about Pedro Winter’s Label Ed Banger is
- Over Compression
- Resample stuff you’ve recorded and bounced to audio
then the crucial part -
Stick It Through Audioease Speakerphone . . . .
Thats all it is, nothing to do with Synths, obviously they do a lot of sampling but they Resample and Resample and thats what makes them the dirtiest group of producers out there in the world!
By god i hope they don’t go for a bath for a long time!
this is very interesting I hope to see a video on how u sampled and resampled the original source…
This would be a KILLER tutorial
Compressors are the greatest source of good results!
Something that confuses me - and forgive me with this as I’ve asked it elsewhere but still don’t really understand it! - is exactly what you do during resampling that is different from simply putting the original tracks through a series of effects. Is this simply a process that helps reduce CPU load, or is there something that I should do whilst resampling to get that super-crushed sound? Something that can’t be done by simply channeling a load of tracks through a compressor bus, for example?
