Legit Tape Stop In Ableton

Here's another guys:

In this video I describe how to achieve a REAL tape stop effect in Ableton Live, without time-stretching! Slow down & pitch down your audio at the same time.

You are a good producer and tutorial dude, it's too bad I don't like Ableton.

Do advanced Reaper tutorials. I mean Reaper does take up like .06% of the DAW market so you would be helping a lot of people.

legittttttttttt

i agree do reaper tuts reapr is the best :)

Cool. What about a rewind though? I'm guessing if you can create a tape stop then maybe its possible to do a real rewind effect?

Nice one man, thanks! Been wondering how to go about that trick for quite a while.

I use to do the same thing in Soundforge. I'm gonna experiment with a rewind when I get home.

Excellent tutorial. I love that you don't digress, you're quick, and you don't dumb it down.

Also, I liked that you did the technique a second time, very quickly, with that kick drum sample because it showed you flying through the technique as fast as you could do it and also, doing it a second time is very helpful for solidifying what the viewer has just learned.

Keep it up.

^agree

thanks a lot guys! glad you enjoyed. the overwhelming positive feedback i've been getting from these videos really motivates me to keep going with them.

a rewind effect would be really cool, i think i might play with that when i get off work tonight. i suppose you could apply the same technique using a reversed sample. i'm hearing a pitch up from a very low pitch, up high, then back down in my head. post examples if you come up with anything cool!

Here's one kind of rewind I came up with:

^Live Set (need Live 8.2+ and Sampler)

Two samplers with the same song loaded. One forward, one reversed. The pitch is controlled by a combination of Modulation envelopes in Sampler and MIDI pitch bend in the clips. Check it .

Cool. Its not quite as fast a dj would rewind but it still sounds cool. Good job.

a quick spinback rewind w/ Sampler:

that's just the aux envelope in Sampler's modulation section controlling the Pitch.

What I usually use is a spinback sample to do a spinback but I've always wanted to actually do a spinback that spins back the actual tune I'm playing. Anyways I'm probably being a bit retarded but would this work in Ableton 5? I usually do my sets in 8 though. Any chance you could put up a tutorial for it? ;-)

Unfortunately, this still results in a prepared spinback sample, even if it is from a song in your set, so I don't know how much more interesting it would sound than a generic spinback sample in a live setting. As for v.5, you could kind of approximate a spinback in Simpler, but i think the envelopes in Simpler aren't flexible enough to make mimicking realistic rewinds an easy task. Any reason you don't stick to just one version?

Thanks again for the tutorial man, used it in my new track, I still need to practice but I liked the result. Keep up the good work!

Wait, you can drag clips into the sampler, manipulate, and then freeze them back into the track that easily!? Shit! What else have I been missing out on? Thanks for the tutorial!
