Splice is now integrated into Ableton Live\u2014discover how to search, filter, and audition Splice sounds, all synced to your project\u2019s key and tempo.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Find a sample you like and split it into shorter slices (approximately 1\/16 size). Then, copy and paste this short sample several times to create a rhythm on the Arrangement View<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Use the Transpose<\/strong> option in the Clip View<\/strong> to make some of the samples lower or higher in pitch. This will emphasize the groove of the rhythm you’re making by creating elements like ‘kicks’ and ‘snares.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Try using the Complex Pro<\/strong> and Texture <\/strong>warp modes to change the timbral quality of the samples. There’s no right or wrong way to use these modes, as every sample is unique. If you’re confused with what the warp modes are and what they do, you can see me explaining them in more depth here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. You can now duplicate the rhythm for another bar and then consolidate the samples together so that you have one solid sample left. Now, use the tools at your disposal to further manipulate this sample \u2013 transpose the whole thing up or down in pitch, halve the playback time, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Add Simpler<\/strong> to a MIDI track and drop in a cool sample of your choosing (vocals are great if you want to make a chord progression).<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. By using the Classic<\/strong> mode to create an instrument suitable for chords, you can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’re unsure about how Simpler<\/strong> works, check out my tutorial<\/a> where I explain all of its features in simple terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Open the Groove Pool<\/strong> and drop a rhythmic sample (like the one we created with the first technique) into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Drag-and-drop the groove you created to a cool sample that has a consistent rhythmic identity (like the turkey sound<\/a> I used in the tutorial video).<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Use the Groove Pool<\/strong> settings to quantize timing and make velocity changes to your liking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
