Sampling & Sound Design With Ableton Live Simpler

As of Ableton Live 9.5 Simpler received a tidy update expanding its sound design, sampling and resampling capabilities.

This 10-part course covers everything from how to navigate the software including playback modes, warping sounds and the expanded controls tab; to how to get it working for you with a series of hands on sound design and resampling tutorials that will show you to use Simpler to redesign vocal loops, chop up drum loops creatively, use chains of simplers to transform tops loops and so much more.

Video 1 - Classic Playback Mode & Warping in Simpler
In this video we take a look at Simpler's Classic Playback Mode. We explore how we can set sample loops, play samples back polyphonically and also look at the 6 warp modes, and how they operate when working with Simpler.

Video 2 - 1-Shot Playback Mode
In this video we take a look the 1-Shot mode in Simpler, and explore the circumstances when it's a good idea to use this more stripped down mode.

Video 3 - Slice Playback Mode
In this video we take a look at the Slice playback mode in Simpler, we explore the various we options we have for creating and setting our slices and how we can then quickly export the slices for quick editing.

Video 4 - Controls Tab
In this video we take a look at the features on offer in the Controls tab. In this section of Simpler we can apply various modulations using the filter, LFO and pitch sections.

Video 5 - Transient Loop Mode Editing
In this video we take a look at the transient loop modes available when working with Transient warping. We also look at different preservation settings we can apply to create interesting vocal edits.

Video 6 - Audition Drum Chops
In this video we revisit the Slice mode, and explore how we can use slices to audition various different drum chops.

Video 7 - Simpler Chains & Pitch Envelope Edits
In this video we look at how we can use a chain of Simpler's to transform a tops loop into something completely different and create complex glitch style edits in a couple of minutes.

Video 8 - Quick Drum Break Edits
In this video we explore the half and double speed options we have in Simpler and how we can use this technique to shape the transients of our samples.

Video 9 - Special FX Sound Design
In this video we explore the Controls tab in more detail, and make full use of the various modulations options we have to create a number of special FX sounds.

Video 10 - Tempo Sync'd Sample Loops
In this video we explore how we can create and playback tempo sync'd sample loops in Simpler.
