What do I mean by &#8220;production-ready&#8221;? In the heat of the moment, when I&#8217;m feeling inspired and the ideas are flowing, I need tools that are ready to use right then and there\u2013I don&#8217;t want to have to build them from scratch. I need tools that help me make decisions quickly by having them made ahead of time. And I need tools that won&#8217;t slow down any other part of the production process. A production-ready Drum Rack&nbsp;has all of my samples ready to go, macro knobs mapped to the parameters I use the most, and is easy on my computer&#8217;s hard disk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this tutorial, I&#8217;ll build a Drum Rack from the ground up, something I&#8217;d be able to use for future tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 1: Create a Custom Slicing Preset<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"726\" height=\"206\" data-src=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Step-1-Part-A.png\" alt=\"production ready drum rack\" class=\"wp-image-594 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Step-1-Part-A.png 726w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Step-1-Part-A-300x85.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 726px) 100vw, 726px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 726px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 726\/206;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Add an instance of&nbsp;<strong>Sampler<\/strong> to a MIDI track. That&#8217;s all you&#8217;re going to need, you don&#8217;t need to add any effects, etc. Drag and drop the Sampler to <em>User Library &gt; Default &gt; Slicing<\/em>. Be sure to check out my <a href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/slice-to-new-midi-track-presets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">previous article<\/a> on creating more elaborate slicing presets. You&#8217;ll see why we made this preset in the next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 2: Set Up Your Samples<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"741\" height=\"191\" data-src=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Step-2-Part-D.png\" alt=\"Step 2, Part D\" class=\"wp-image-597 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Step-2-Part-D.png 741w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Step-2-Part-D-300x77.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 741px) 100vw, 741px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 741px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 741\/191;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This part is going to sound strange, but just go with it because this is all part of the set up\u2013we&#8217;re not writing music here. Set the global clock to <strong>60BPM<\/strong>. Then, go to the Arrangement View and set the grid to a <strong>Fixed Grid <\/strong>at<strong> 1 Bar<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, drag all of your favorite samples, of a particular type, and drop them on the Arrangement View. By setting the clock to 60BPM and fixing the grid to 1 Bar, the samples all start on the first beat of a bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the samples are in the Arrangement View, select and right-click them. Select the option to&nbsp;C<strong>onsolidate<\/strong> the many audio files into a single&nbsp;audio file. This is what will allow you to use 100s and 100s of samples in one Drum Rack without killing your hard disk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, drag the newly consolidated audio clip to the Session View, right-click on it and select <strong>Slice to New MIDI Track<\/strong>. Here&#8217;s where Step 1 comes in handy: for &#8220;Create one slice per&#8221; choose Bar, and for &#8220;Slicing Preset&#8221; choose the simple Sampler preset that you made. A new MIDI track will be created that houses an instance of Sampler which holds a single audio file sliced at the beginning of each sample.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 3: Set Up Your&nbsp;Instrument<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"172\" data-src=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Step-3-Part-F.png\" alt=\"Step 3, Part F\" class=\"wp-image-599 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Step-3-Part-F.png 600w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Step-3-Part-F-300x86.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/172;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that the samples are all in one place &#8211; in one audio file sliced up in Sampler &#8211; it&#8217;s time to set up a Drum Rack so we can use these samples. Remember, this is all pre-production so be patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right-click on Sampler&#8217;s device title bar and select <strong>Group<\/strong> to place it in to an <strong>Instrument Rack<\/strong>. Then right-click on the rack itself and select <strong>Group to Drum Rack<\/strong>. This will place the instrument rack on a chain (C1) in a new Drum Rack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within Sampler, open the <strong>Zone tab&nbsp;<\/strong>and you&#8217;ll see all of the slices you made, one for each sample. This will take some trial and error, but place all of the key zones and their <strong>Root Notes<\/strong> (R) to C3. This makes&nbsp;it so Drum Rack can actually play the samples right away and at their original pitches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Go to Sampler&#8217;s <strong>Sample Select Editor<\/strong> (Sel). We&#8217;re going to set it up so we can use a single macro knob to scroll through all of the samples. In the Splice file, I have 16 kick drums, so I&#8217;m looking for a range of 0 to 15 in the editor. Set all of the samples&#8217; ranges to 0 to 15, right-click on the <strong>Sample Select Ruler<\/strong>, and select <strong>Distribute Ranges Equally<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 4: Map and Test&nbsp;the Drum Rack<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"200\" data-src=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Step-4.jpg\" alt=\"Step 4\" class=\"wp-image-600 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Step-4.jpg 600w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Step-4-300x100.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/200;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We placed the Sampler in an Instrument Rack so we can take advantage of mapping some parameters to macro knobs. Back in Sampler&#8217;s Sample Select Editor, right-click on the Sample Select Ruler and select <strong>Map to Macro 1<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, click on the <strong>Macro Map Mode Switch<\/strong> (Map) of the Instrument Rack so you can edit the mapping. The Live Browser will then change to the Mapping Browser. The <strong>Min<\/strong> value of the Sample Select should stay at 00. However, the <strong>Max<\/strong> value need to change according to the number of samples you have. I used 16 kick drum samples, so my Max would be 15. If you had 100 samples, the range is 0 to 99. Exit Macro Map Mode\u2013it&#8217;s time to test the Drum Rack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Create a new MIDI clip and draw in some notes. Press play and you should hear the first sample that you dropped in. Turn the <strong>Sample Selector<\/strong> macro and you&#8217;ll hear the the other kick drum samples. Mission complete, but feel free to map some other parameters to the remaining seven macro knobs. I like to map the <strong>ADSR<\/strong> controls of the <strong>volume envelope<\/strong> and some <strong>Filter<\/strong> parameters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 5: Repeat the Process for Other Sounds and SAVE<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ve completed all of the steps for one bank of samples, kick drums in my example. Now go through the process again for your other samples. <strong>HOWEVER<\/strong>, drag the new Instrument Racks onto a new pad\/chain&nbsp;of the Drum Rack that you&#8217;ve already made. Something to keep in mind i that you still have the 8 macro knobs of the Drum Rack that are free\u2013use them for some top-level editing and sound design. Remember to <strong>SAVE<\/strong> your new Drum Rack by clicking on the disk icon in the top-right corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe you&#8217;ve seen this technique before, but the steps I&#8217;ve laid out above will give you an instrument that&#8217;s much easier on your hard disk. In the Splice file, I really only have 5&nbsp;audio files\u2013if you don&#8217;t believe me, check the project files. That&#8217;s faster to load than 500-600 samples that might crash Live when called upon&nbsp;all at once. Again, this is all so I can get my ideas out as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good luck building\u00a0your own production-ready Drum Racks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Browse, preview, and license Splice samples directly inside Ableton Live with our new in-DAW integration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/plans\/ableton-live\/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spending too much time building drum tracks from scratch every session?
