LabRat Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Late night pondering… So I got this screen capture thing and wanna give it a good go. I figured something musical would be a good start so just wondering what you guys might like to see as far as production tutorials go (for now. Can do traktor mapping once I get that shit down a bit better). I'm looking for ideas, but will choose the most suggested topic to start off with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodiak Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Absolute basics are always good. I really don't even know where to start making a beat at this stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatPartyGuy Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 yeah basics and fundementals and build upon that thought about doing some tutorials and guides myself but in other related dj things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabRat Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 I feel there's so many of the "basics" out there. What is it people look for in a video about the basics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatPartyGuy Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 where things are in the program, how to do one specific thing (creating a melbourne sounding baseline, reverse reverb, exporting a track, fade in and out etc...)but i think it's a good idea to have how to's with basic's. but... its up to you man, dont have to start off with the basic's. if you're itching to do a video on how to do masive drops or something... do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabRat Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 lol the basics are a good thing. I'm happy to do basics coz they're where everyone looks first but I can't really think of what I use to look for. The reverse reverb could be a good one coz that was one thing I looked at doing. I can do a tonne of Melbourne stuff pretty easily too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatPartyGuy Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 i'd sure watch it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabRat Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 Awesome lol I might get on the reverse reverb thing. That's a pretty snazzy trick that's pretty simple to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupe Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 If you can make basics vids without a 10 minute intro of bullshit talking, and annoying sounds, and with good audio, then you'll be a million miles ahead of most other cunts bringing out beginner vids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeatLeSS Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Dude you know what i'd really love to see. Workflow, guide around the program and how you use it to keep everything.The whole Sampling processWhat you're looking for when going for samples, how you grab them, store them, and use them.Maybe record yourself doing a whole track then re-watch the video cutting it down to the key parts and explaining the process? I'd be all for watching ADJF tutes over anything else on the net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabRat Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 The whole Sampling processWhat you're looking for when going for samples, how you grab them, store them, and use them.the sampling one will be a good one. there's heaps of videos about sampling but they seem a bit over complicated. i'll try work on a simplified version and make that happen too.

db Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 When I youtube tutorials the presenter assumes a certain level of understanding from his/her audience ,which either leaves gaping gaps in the method or has the new Ableton student so confused about the previous slides that they have no idea what is going on in the next so if you were interested in doing a progressive series of tutorials it would be good to start with basic descriptions/instructions. Audio setup and the like can be up to the user but from then on in what is a rack how to use instruments when you drag ,for example operator how do you yourself use it. The fact that we have access to an inumerable amount of information on the internet and still can't seem to crack it may also show that we are too lazy/impatient to slowly work our way through the ableton manual. Basically we are the people who buy idiots guides to Ableton, that aside watching someone work and having them explain in detail what they are doing ,why they are doing it , the advantages of the method and any alternative ways of achieving the same result allows us to progress at a greater speed,but the voice over needs to be thorough with their explanations and continue to assume that the viewer has absolutely no Ableton knowledge.If you do this I'm sure it would be of great value to many of your readers , either way I'll be watching the tutorial this post is just an aknowledgement of the fact that this type of tutorial is needed, you idea is valid.

LabRat Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 I tend to agree with what you've said. Most tutorials (regardless it be music) don't explain the smaller, "basic" details because they do assume that everyone is aware of how to achieve that. I did do a reverse reverb tutorial which I'm yet to upload but my time has been stretched and I haven't done another one. I should get around to uploading that soon.
