I’ve been looking on CZcams for ages on how to do live looping and recording and this is the best one I’ve seen! Thanks a lot for this definitely gonna try it out.
I was about to give up on ableton because I’ve been spending more time scratching my head than making music. You’ve explained so much and so clearly it has definitely given me something fun and instant to get me started, thank you!
OMG this tutorial was amazing! I've been doing live looping with my electric ukulele for a couple of months now and keep running into the issue of my original loop slowly getting quieter and quieter with each layer. I've searched all across the internet for an answer and you have been the only video that has explained that the Feedback toggle controls whether or not the loop gets quieter over time. AND I learned some cool new tricks about starting and stopping the tracks. Thanks for your videos and your explanatins, you're the best!
Also, I feel like there are so many videos on how to loop using expensive MIDI pads and yours is the best video I've found so far explaining how to use the Ableton loop plug-in, which is honestly cheaper and a great alternative!
THANKS..Been trying to find how to separate the loop parts for editing. You explained how to do it so simply with the "send", I knew there must be a way!!
dude, nice videos. Can you please do a video explaining the sound chain effect to get a cool chillhop guitar sound? i saw the one on ableton tutorial but i guess you can explain better the amps, effect order, etc you can use to achieve the sound.
@@MondoLoops thanx for answering, i use Logic so its hard to try get the same results without that ableton tape mixer, im trying to use logic amp and amplitube.
Hi , this is very inspiring. I am looking for cheaper way to jam, currently i own a single usb footswitch for my ableton lite. Its good for recording clips, but i want to buy an (intro version) so i can use my footswitch just like a regular looper pedal. My question is what if i set a 16 tracks containing individual looper ,is there settings to use one footswitch to loop in armed tracks without affecting the others tracks?since i need to map every looper tracks in one single midi footswitch. Tnx in advance for your response.
Great vid ! So you can just make each looper play its own length and you can do for as many loopers as you like ? That what i'm looking for in software , being able to record multiple different length loops and have them sill sync up , like my Deluge and boss pedal do .
Thanks for watching, and yes exactly! On this video I showed them in a chain but you could also have them on different tracks etc. if you want to keep going back to different loop layers and overdubbing, really great flexability with these!
I can't get metronome to play in the looper but it works in everything else in ableton session mode and what not but metronome won't play in looper do you know how i can it so i can hear it in the actual looper awesome video thanks
Hey great video, but every time I try to record the looper while recording the track the looper keeps changing tempo to a random tempo and won't follow the track. Do you have any advice for this?
hey man, thanks for the tutorial, but isn't it much easier to midi-map the record button to loop with a sustain pedal? or do you have any benefits with the ableton looper? :)
Hey Dali - Thanks! Are you talking live session track loops? For me when doing guitar stuff the looper has great functionality vs just looping a clip as with a single button I can play / stop / overdub / start again etc. - for say a keyboard player it may be easier for you to have midi maps as you say for each track but its all down to workflow preference
Using the quantization as a delay to stop the looper recording isn't working for me, have it set to 2 bars like you but its still recording immediately from when i press record? any ideas?
Hey, so if your track is already playing then you hit record on the looper it should count 2 bars in, if you start the looper without the track playing it will start recording straight away I believe - is it that? I don't think you can have the count in with looper without a track playing, even if you set the tempo controll to follow song
If you turn off quantization, EVER, you run the risk of decimating your timing on your entire track...and more often than not it will absolutely happen
Hey Frans, looper is a stock effect for live standard 8+ , any earlier versions or live lite won’t have it as default, if you should have it but don’t it might be worth reinstalling the core library
Great video. I noticed that when you play your guitar the input level on your audio track is below 50% but when you play it back is above 50% on the master. How did you do that? My playback volume is always too low.
I cant figure out how to get a count in for the looper. no matter what i set the quantize to it always instantly loops when i press record anyone know what im missing?
look at 1:55 maybe QUANTIZATION is on ''none'' ... or ''global'' and then you have to check in ABLETON on the right of the metronom.. maybe its also on ''none'' .... i think... i'm new to ABLETON and all that.. so....sorry if i'm making a mistake
When I set the length of a loop to 2, 4, whatever bars, it doesn't do anything. The loop keeps recording until I stop playing - even if it is 500 bars! What am I doing wrong here? I want to set the length of the loop BEFORE I start playing. Otherwise, there is zero point of using looper. The only reason I want to is because Abelton proper doesn't have this functionality. Thank you!

Hi Mike, ableton can be a bit of a mine field until you get to know the workflow, glad to help and thanks for watching!
Thanks a lot ! This is one of the best tutorials out here on yt !
This channel is so good man 😩🙌🏼
i was looking for this video for a long time ..Thanks

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching :)
Great ideas! Thank you very much!!!
These guitar-centered ableton videos are really helpful

Amazing bro! Thanks for this 🤘🏽
No problem man, thanks for watching!
I love Mondo Loops, and I want to have you over for a cookout
Hey Ben, that would be dope! Thanks for checking out my vid
Hey. Thanks for your Video! Can you tell me, what camera you are using? I like it.
Wireless mouse on the floor to start loops in an ingenious idea!
dude, nice videos. Can you please do a video explaining the sound chain effect to get a cool chillhop guitar sound? i saw the one on ableton tutorial but i guess you can explain better the amps, effect order, etc you can use to achieve the sound.
For sure, I will be doing something like this very soon and looking at some different VSTs you can use - thanks for watching!

Hi, great video! I'm just wondering... I'm new to Ableton and don't know where to download the looper plugin? Could you help me out?
Hey Frans, looper is a stock effect for live standard 8+ , any earlier versions or live lite won’t have it as default, if you should have it but don’t it might be worth reinstalling the core library
Does it have an auto quantization..incase your loop is not aligned to the beat?
Great video. I noticed that when you play your guitar the input level on your audio track is below 50% but when you play it back is above 50% on the master. How did you do that? My playback volume is always too low.
what kind of pedal did you used in this video?
I cant figure out how to get a count in for the looper. no matter what i set the quantize to it always instantly loops when i press record
anyone know what im missing?

Same here really annoying! Did you suss it out?

love Ableton...the looper...not so much. seems overly complicated for what I need in a looper tbh
Fair enough, I fiind just using live view for simple loops can work great too!
Maybe speaking clearly would help.
