- 9 min
In season 3 episode 19 of the show Ultimate Ableton Live, viewers are introduced to the feature of "Slice to New MIDI Track." This episode is focused on showing how this feature can be a helpful tool for producers and musicians using Ableton Live.
The episode begins with a brief explanation of what a slice is. Essentially, a slice is a portion of an audio clip that has been divided into individual segments. Slicing can be used to break a loop into smaller, more manageable parts or to separate a recording into individual notes or beats.
The host then goes on to demonstrate how to use the "Slice to New MIDI Track" feature. This feature allows users to take an audio clip and automatically create a new MIDI track with each slice turned into an individual MIDI note. This is a great way to quickly turn a drum loop into a playable MIDI drum track or to take a guitar recording and turn it into a MIDI melody.
Once the MIDI track is created, the host shows how to edit and manipulate the individual slices. For example, viewers learn how to adjust the note length and velocity, as well as how to add effects and automation. The host also demonstrates how to change the slicing sensitivity to fine-tune the resulting MIDI notes.
In addition to showing how to use the "Slice to New MIDI Track" feature, the episode also covers some creative uses for slicing. For example, viewers learn how to create stutter and glitch effects by slicing an audio clip and quickly adjusting the note lengths and velocities.
Throughout the episode, the host emphasizes the importance of experimentation and encourages viewers to try out different slicing techniques to see what works best for them. The host also reminds viewers that slicing is just one tool in the Ableton Live toolbox and that there are many other ways to create and manipulate MIDI notes.
Overall, this episode of Ultimate Ableton Live is a great introduction to the "Slice to New MIDI Track" feature and provides plenty of practical tips and creative inspiration for producers and musicians working in Ableton Live.
