Using Ableton Live and the sampling techniques discussed in class and in labs (Simpler, Impulse, loop editing and slicing, and beat slicing, follow actions), create five “beats”, that is short audio loops or patterns that could be used later in a larger track. A “beat” might be as short as one or two bars, or a little longer for patterns that develop over time.
The first two should be derived from famous Amen break (download) and the last three can use any source sample you like, including recordings you make. The term “beat” here can be defined broadly to include reorganized bits of speech, textures, glitched patterns, drones, etc. The goal is to use the source as raw materials for new “beats”.
The five resulting “beats” should be handed in as WAV audio files, exported, with all five in a ZIP archive to be uploaded.
To capture audio from the Session view, simply arm the master record and start launching/performing. The results will appear in the Arrangment view, ready for selection and export as normal.
