MMS Music Production Tutorial : Writing a Bass Line

thanks this is very helpful smiles from Cape Town

Hi Ice, It’s called a minor 7th because it’s the 7th degree of the minor
scale. In western music heptatonic (7 unique tones per octave) is the most
common form of scale. To work out the notes in a minor scale, take any
starting note on the keyboard, then you can work out the intervals with the
formula TSTTSTT – where T=tone, and S=semitone. Semitone is the adjacent
note, Tone is the next but one. Let me know if you need any help with this!

Thanx for this tut. Sound great so i am going to experient with this 🙂

What exactly is that “String Pad” comprised of? I’ve been dying for a sound
like that to use for some more melodic pieces.

I can not preview samples in the browser window now matter what the volume
is on the preview/que volume and my headphones button is blue on the bottom
of the sample window. Is there something I am doing wrong? thanks.

Awesome work. You guys have been the biggest help, you’ve no idea. Keep up
the awesome work!

Apparently, .adg files do not play lol but .aif files do. So here’s a
question that’s been BURNING in my mind for a week. When I go to
instruments—>drum rack and I want to preview sounds, all the sounds are
.adg. So how are you suppose to tell what they sound like w/o actually
double clicking them and loading them into the interface as that is time
consuming.

the tune is designed to show as many techniques in as simple a way as
possible so is inherently its not something that would win any grammys.

handy little vid for someone starting with ableton. i didnt have a clue at
first. but i’m getting there.

why are there only five of the videos on youtube?

i dont have that little blue circle too hear the instument samples , so i
cant hear what they doo , how do i get it ? XD

Thank you!

I fail to see how any of this makes for a better work flow.. then any other
DAW ? I see NO numbers in db or % to indicate how loud your levels are ?
You seem to constantly be jumping in and out of windows. Why do you have to
push 2 record buttons (arm) just to record something ? Why do you need a
scene button to start stop different tracks? how is that a better workflow?
To each his own.

Hey just started using ableton yesterday. I have a 3rd party vst open in
one channel in session view and I’m tryin to make the actual plug in
visible. How do i do this in Live suite 9?

i love Ableton, especially after learning some of the ins and outs of the
Session View, it really increases your workflow alot when you learn how to
use the Session View, after tryna figure out which program works the best
for me i def have to say Ableton bcuz of the endless possibilities and
increased workflow, i dont sit on my computer for hrs tryna figure out how
im gonna do variations and how and i gonna put an instrumental together ne
more

i have a question i have always used reason and in reason u cant make a
drum loop and add it to the track like nothing..i was wondering how to do
that in ableton?? like an add to to track option or something?
