As per my previous post I mentioned that I had just started using Ableton Live so I know very very functions however managed to put together a very quick beat of 32 bars.
I simply used the stock drums for the beat, then played my own rhodes, piano and synth bass.
Check it out.
Once I learn more and more functions I hope to be able to create full tracks.
Nice beat there, are they the stock drum looks are did you just using the individual stock drums to make your own pattern?
I used the stock drums but made slight adjustments to the patterns. Added extra hats etc.
Some solid solid sounding drums there, nice chords too.
Thanks mate
What chords are you playing there?
The chords are Gmin9th, Gdim7th, Gbmaj9th, Fmin7th, Gmin9th, Gdim7th, Gbmaj9th, Fmaj7th.
I literally just made them up, but I though it sounded good so I recorded it.
Solid sounds man! Did you use vsts/what instruments did you use for the piano parts?
Thanks man, I didn’t actually use any VSTs. I just used the sounds from the Ableton free packages, which is why I rate the program so much. Such a solid sounding piano patch, and percussion is nice and gritty.
Cool beat man, I have played around with this but struggling to get a natural sounding beat.
For the Neo Soul genre which I am doing, just make sure you are not quantizing everything. This will make make your track stiff sounding and unnatural.
Nice beat there. You probably want to use your own samples etc. for main productions though.
Thanks, the only samples Inreally used was the drums. They are not too squeaky clean like some DAW presets so I dont mind utilizing them.
I really enjoy your tutorials, it would also be nice if you could break down this track a little more worth a video.
Thanks, I will try to upload a video very soon.
