Text-based tutorial on using simpler to chop and slice beats to use in MIDI

Unfortunate name. Unfortunate gender references. The narration is a bit annoying. Good use of a visual layer to show the ableton over the physical activity, WOuld be better if he continued showing the physical along with ableton when he started playing the MPC controller. Nice job taking us through the process with explanation. cropping, warping, Explains why he thinks the sample is good and how to improve on it. Talks about creative process. Discusses slicing process. Don't think the proposed tempo is accurate based on playback and his counting.

Video example and tutorial of beatproduction using Ableton Live with Ski Beatz. Tutorial starts at 1:52 Includes: - audio sample - using warp markers to chop the audio - Slicing audio track to a MIDI track so slices are assigned to MIDI keys to then be performed on the MIDI controller - Performing the MIDI slices on the MIDI keyboard - Freezing the new audio track and warping - Working the groove of the track - Creating the groove

"For more info: http://bit.ly/hnTM7K In this tutorial, producer/DJ and Dubspot Senior Logic Instructor Matt Shadetek shows you how to manipulate, re-pitch, and process vocal samples using Logic Pro 9's ESX24 Sampler and Pitch Correction plug-in. Utilizing one of the vocal samples that comes with Logic, Shadetek slices each individual note of the sample, converts them into a sampler instrument. Shadetek delves into the ESX24 Instrument Editor, in order to re-pitch the vocal samples and make them playable across the keyboard. He then utilizes Logic's Pitch Correction plug-in (similar to Antares Auto-tune), which he uses to refine the pitch of the re-pitched notes. At the end of the tutorial, you should have a strong grasp of how to take a sample and play your own melody with it in Logic's EXS24 sampler."
