Before flogging my OT and OP-Z I came to the realisation that I was grossly under using Push 2 and Ableton. So, now that I’m down to Live, Push and a Komplete Kontrol keyboard I want to change that and do something more with what I have at my disposal.
The problem? I loved sampling all sorts of random shit on my OT and creating lead/bass/drum kits out of it and I don’t really know where to start in Live/Push. I think I can largely get my head around creating kits in Live (slicing and dicing) but I’m a complete Live novice when it comes to taking a piece of audio and making it something else - what I refer to as “creative sampling”.
I’ve tried searching online for some suggestions/help but when your search criteria includes “Ableton”, “Push” and “sampling” the volume of hip hop or crate digging videos that pop up is staggering! I found one really interesting video of a guy who used a snare sound only to create a kit, bass, lead, chords and then a full song. 99% using Push 2 only. That’s what I’m looking to replicate.
So rather than trawl Youtube in the hope of hitting something - do any of you guys know of or have go to sites or videos for this sort of thing for inspiration? Appreciate that’s quite a wide canvas and maybe I need to pivot my thinking here and work through traditional tutorials and use those techniques but surely there is something out there to help guide on this sort of thing?!
