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?

[Berk]

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

[Guest Promo]

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

[Guest Wall Bird]

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!

Yeah look fwd to seeing that!! ;-)

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

 

Rewind+Poweroff test

 

^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?

[Berk]

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!

[Guest MrSparkle666]

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!
