so we're here to help.įeel free to volunteer great resources you find on the net regarding writing music, the Ableton DAW, or tutorials and the like. Tips, tricks, and honest community help for the simplest of problems you may be having no matter if you're a newb or a master. So next time everything sounds “perfect”, mess it up and humanize it by “adding some random” with the velocity effect.Ableton Live 11 is out, talk about it here. It can be applied to any drum sound, drum kit, and instruments as well. This technique is not just limited to snares as demonstrated in the video.

It’s entirely possible to have a perfectly quantized loop with all sounds playing the same velocity but this will feel very robotic to the listener and quickly gets repetitive. Even if they tried to hit the drum the same way every time, there would still be some variation. This imperfection is what actually makes a sound or performance interesting to our ears. Listen to any drummer, even the best drummer in the world and every drum hit will sound different due to a variation in timing and the impact of their hits. So even for producers that are using a controller that doesn’t have velocity sensitive control or if their using the computer keyboard for midi input, the velocity effect can help add some variation. The random modulation will randomly adjust the velocity value everytime a midi note is triggered. In Ableton the “Velocity” midi effect allows producers to define the velocity range and it also has random modulation. The harder you hit the pads or keys on a controller, the louder the sound will be.

This value will determine the volume or amplitude of drums and instruments. Velocity is a used as a measure of how hard a pad or key is hit. Velocity = Volume Variation Simple hi hat pattern in Ableton with velocity variation. Today Multiplier shares a simple trick to help humanize drums and add some variation in Ableton using the Velocity effect. If producers aren’t careful, programmed sequences and patterns can easily sound robotic and stale, leaving listeners bored. One of the challenges with producing electronic music in a DAW is maintaining a human feel in the music.
