How to Make a Sample Pack in Ableton // DAW (Music Production Tutorial)

Thanks my good dood. Nice and informative.

Also comment 69 Awwww yeahhhh

Very helful and fast, Thanks a lot!!! exactly what I needed :)

You guys should avoid consolidating the clip. Consolidating applies normalization to the audio file. If you check the clip fader (not the track fader) before consolidation it sits at 0,00dB. After consolidation Ableton usually applies some gain/gain reduction to the clip fader in order to push it/duck it to play at the original level. This can result in pops or clicks due to digital clipping by aliasing and other more technical stuff that I won't go into detail here for the sake of your mental sanity.

So, how do you deal with this, you may ask?

Simple.

Just Drag the clip to an empty audio track. Freeze the track then flatten. The file then goes to the processed folder but instead of the Consolidate sub folder it will be on the Freeze one. Do the renaming and you're good to go.

One more thing though.

No need to worry with warp being turned on or off with this method since what you'll get is a carbon copy of what you're hearing before flattening the track so, as long as you're happy with the results, keeping warp on to keep things in time might actually be a good idea and save you from having to manually warp stuff in the future.

Cool video Mr GARDNSOUND, you got yourself a new subscription ;)

The video sound is pretty good, beyond my imagination

Do my clips need to be loud when I put it in the DAW, or can I increase the volume when I'm sorting them out in the DAW?

Is that a fuckin remix of “Say it ain’t So” 😭

Right clicking on the sample and selecting "show in explorer" speeds up finding the samples too :)

Dang I was hoping there was a way to consolidate all the clips at once

this is very helpful, thanks bro

My consolidates end upp ALL that I ever done in the same map not the current project map, How van I get that map structure that u get access to in to Ableton?

Thank you!

Heyy meme lord

Dude, if you are releasing sample packs regularly, you should consider creating a automation template in Ableton, which is pretty easy and will save you a ton of time later on. You can automate most of the steps you did in this video.

pls no loud music

hey dude, any idea why the samples gets louder when i checked them out in the processed folder after consolidating them ?

Google “how to rename multiple files on Mac”. You can speed up the naming part.

when I consolidate the files become .aif files, is there a setting I can change to make them consolidate to .wav files?

Super solid and quick tutorial!

Can I use royalty free samples of someone to make my own with adding effects and layering? Probably can but how many do like that. I have morality problem of this and need advise, thx

Are these samples NORMALIZED though?

Ok. But how do you design the names of these packs?

dildo sample pack?! why

Correct me if I'm wrong, but consolidating the samples decreases the quality and can create unpleasant click sounds. I'd rather bounce the samples via cmd + shift + r. Also unwarping after consolidating won't actually change the samples.

How loud should your sample be? 0db?

Should we turn off warp mode before we consolidate?

i can't stop staring at your hair bro.

Dildo sample pack making me wanna do a pocket pussy sample pack real quick 👌🏼

This is hopeless in ableton. There should be an easier way.

DUDE YOU ARE COO!!

salute fallas!

Thanks for this! One question -- Its saving mine as .aif files and not . wav files. Any idea why and how to change that?

This is exactly how I make my samples lol 😆

Been recording loads of heavy bass samples for myself to use later, and this is a much more organized, and even faster.. method of doing this. So thank you! :P

Also what kind of bird do you have? Looks very pretty :p

Real clear tutorial cheers!

Hey man, great tute. Just wondering why you unwarped the clips after you consolidated them. I forgot this part before I renamed 1000+ samples, and don't wanna have to start over. Is it necessary to do this step, or what happens if I don't?

i been searchin' fo' this ..dope......dug it....yer preezo n' da bird.....heapos muchos gracias

You can sample my package anyday ;)

I feel stupid for asking this because I feel like I should know by now but which song did you use in the background for this one?

Are you gonna do sound design tutorials ever
...I've got some basses in mind
