AfroDJMac is back this week with something for Synthtopia readers – an 808 rack for Ableton Live:
This week I have a rack that is made from an 808 Kick drum sample. It allows you to play the 808 bass drum as a pitched instrument, so that it stays in tune with your tracks. It can also be used for bass lines, and, at higher octaves, makes a nice electric keyboard type instrument.
In the video I go over how I made it, so that you can apply the technique to any sample, and then I dissect the individual components of the Ableton rack. Thanks for your support and enjoy!
Not sure what’s up with the vocal mic audio on the video this week – AfroDJMac may have taken our “less discussion and more percussion” rant too literally.
Anyway – you can get the details and the download at the AfroDJMac site. And, if you like what’s he’s doing with his weekly Ableton Live downloads – don’t forget to let him know.
“Posted on December 1, 2011 by guest” WTF?

Why is the mic signal in all of his videos so low? This pisses me off so much!

Will not download racks from someone who can’t get their gain stages set up properly.

Thanks Synthtopia! Guys, I’m sorry about the mic level, I Was having some problems with the screen capture stuff and did this video 3 times before it actually came out properly. Unfortunately, once it was done, the balance was way off. Maybe a little careless of me to just settle with it, but I really just wanted to get the rack out so I could start making dinner! I promise that the rack itself is pretty cool!
