J. Anthony Allen shows how to drag a snare sample onto a track and have Live automatically slice it and load it into a Sampler for MIDI playback. The course covers editing, synthesis, plugins, and sidechaining, which prioritizes one sound over another when they play at the same time.

Hey, everyone.
Welcome to Ableton Live 11. In this class, we're going to cover all aspects of Ableton Live, from just learning the program to recording, to producing, to DJing, mixing, mastering. Everything is going to be included in this huge, huge multi part class. So if you're brand new to the program, this is the best place to start. If you're already familiar with another audio program, all of these classes will get you up to speed on using live to do professional music production in no time. This is part three, Editing and producing. In this class, we're going to start off talking about all the main editing tools that you're going to need in order to really produce music in Ableton Live 11. After that, the rubber hits the road and we're going to start making tracks. So we'll work with the different synthesizers included in live, we might introduce some plugins and other things that you might have seen in other programs, and we'll dive into making our first professional tracks in Ableton live 11.
Okay, so I have a snare here, and unlike our kick, this snare sample is just one hit. That's all we got. So I'm going to drag that into another audio track. I'm not going to put it under here because I'm going to want to hear these both at the same time. And I'm not going to be able to do that if I put it here. So I'm gonna put it on a different track. Okay, what that's gonna do is basically live is going to automatically chop it apart, put it in, put each part, which it will call a slice, into a sampler, and then let me play this with midi. Okay, let's walk through it. So first. Okay, so now I'm gonna have these really fast hi hats mixed in with some of the slower.
Hi.
Okay. Now I could even go faster if I really wanted to. I could say best way to explain sidechaining is it just means when two sounds happen at the same time and you want to prioritize one or the other side chaining.
It.
