Ableton Workflow Tutorial - Creating Drum Loops

Ableton Beginner Workflow Tutorial - Creating a Basic Drum Loop

In this Ableton Live tutorial (part 1 in the drum loop series) we take a look at programming the core elements of a drum loop and examine important features that influence groove and dynamics.

The tutorial explains how to effectively program velocity, pitch, note positioning and note length in Ableton’s midi editor to alter the feel of a loop. For example, gently nudging an off beat hi hat pattern ahead of the beat can make the loop sound like it has a rushed feel or is playing a little faster. Alternatively pushing the hi hats behind the beat has the opposite effect and gives the loop a more laid back feel. Changing the velocity (linked to volume in Ableton’s Simpler device), pitch and note length of certain hits in a pattern will also effect the groove of a loop and add subtle interest and variations for the listener.
