J. Anthony Allen covers recording and warping in Ableton Live 10. Learn hardware setup with microphones and audio interfaces, MIDI controller configuration, and how to use Ableton's warping engine to manipulate time and keep tracks in sync. The course includes demos of gear like the Blue Snowball microphone and Push controllers.
Hi, my name is Jay and welcome to Slam Academy.
This is Slam Academy. We're a diverse family of working musicians with one important common bond, a deep love for the creative process of making music.
I hate every preset I've ever listened to. I just want to like make all my own sounds. You have to have your own sound, otherwise you're not going to stick out.
United by our passion for creating, the Slam Family exists to educate and support musicians of any age, any level and in any genre.
Had been more to creating electronic music. Once I stepped into sound design, I was like, this is electronic music. This is like what I envisioned it being like.
Our community lives on and offline with live streamed group classes as well as in person programs in Minneapolis. Our instructors meet you where you are and work to accelerate your musical journey to where you want to be.
It was like frustrating in college being with all the music majors. You know, you had all these classical musicians and I'm like over here making beats and I come here and I feel like these last nine months I've learned more, way more for what I need to be doing.
With detailed courses in DJing, music production, recording, sound design and more, Slam Academy is ready to show you what it takes to be an industry professional.
I was pleasantly surprised with how much I really could take away. After only 12 sessions, I finished up and I am walking out with exactly the tools that I need to finish projects.
We want you to become a part of the Slam Academy family.
We've made for you here the most comprehensive Ableton Live program we could imagine. It's designed to take you from novice to pro. It'll have project files, instrument downloads, special guests, and a lot more. I've divided this class into six different sections so that you can focus on what you want to learn right away. However, to really take full advantage of the program, start at the beginning and go to the end, or at least make sure you take all the sections at some point. This is class two, Recording and warping. In this class, we'll be looking at how you can record in live. Everything from a single microphone to a full band. We'll talk about what hardware you need, including microphones, audio interfaces, things like that, and things you should be considering for the instruments you're recording, like mic placement and mic style. We'll also start to explore the effects built into Ableton Live. After that, we'll look at our MIDI setup. We'll make sure that we're set up to allow for a MIDI controller or a keyboard into Ableton Live and Then we'll work on how to record Overdub and arrange with a MIDI keyboard or MIDI instrument. Then we'll move on to warping. Warping is the powerful audio engine underneath Live that lets us manipulate time so that everything stays in sync. There are some tricks to learning that just right. And we're going to spend a lot of time on that in this class as well. Now, this loop is at 140 bpm. Okay. It's significantly faster. I know that because it's written under the file name. So let's add that in. You might be most tempted to get one of these. So this is called a snowball microphone and it's made by the company Blue, which makes great microphones. However, this is a USB microphone. It goes out all the control surfaces that I've had connected to my version of Live. I've had a push, a push to and this thing called Remote SL Classic. To make sure that doesn't hit the top. I want a little bit of room at the top. Yet I can also look right here on the one. Even though that's super tiny, I need to hit here in order to tell it that we're paying attention to Session View now. So here's what we have.
