joshuatxuk Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 No one really likes swing music, especially Ableton. https://www.ableton.com/answers/swinging-a-midi-track http://sonictransfer.com/groove-quantizing-in-ableton-live.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCM Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 i think it's called the groove function or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke viia Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 http://www.askaudiomag.com/articles/ableton-live-chopping-beats-mpc-style i think it's easier to just play a drum part with some swing as you record though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizza Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 grooves. add a groove from your user library or whatever to the 'groove pool', then apply it to any midi clip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheatheman Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 guys, seriously, don't add grooves. it's so bad. if you are using Mac, just go into 16th notes in the MIDI sequencer window at the bottom and then hit command+3 to switch to triplets. after you put in your triplet hi hats or whatever, then you can select the whole row, turn off the guide (right click/off), and drag them a little to make the swing more human. I use that all the time for more natural sounding flams. A quick swing roundup: the easiest way to think of swing is a kick and a snare occurring normally on the 1 and the 3, but the hi hat in between is past the 2, not right on it.

Audioblysk Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 ^^^ tried that, worked way better than the groove shit. Still boggles my mind how they couldn't impliment a midi swing like even something as basic as my EMX-1 has. The Groove thing in Live 9 is my least favorite feature so far, aside from latency issues, but that is probably more to do with no firewire and a cheap lexicon interface than Live 9 as when I use an Mbox2 it works perfectly in sync.

sheatheman Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Yeah, I never use grooves like that. One time in 2007 I was watching an instructional video on Reason and some hip hop girl was talking about setting grooves to her beats. Then I canceled my internet for 6 months.

hma Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 An option is also to put midi plugin before a synth: midiSwing: http://thepiz.org/plugins/?p=pizmidi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizza Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 grooves are cool. you can even extract grooves from drumloops etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Bro Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I'm using the Appegiator for swing in Ableton. Sort of half works although its a bit fiddly. Sometimes I manually do it too but I'm not a pro at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheatheman Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 grooves are cool. you can even extract grooves from drumloops etc Thanks Pizza. Thanks for centering your response too. Since you are circular, I guess you would like things to be centered? Thank you, really... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
