In Ableton’s midi editor you can use ctrl+4 (cmd+4 on a mac) to turn off the grid and use the arrow keys to move the midi notes by small increments. Try gently nudging the hits forwards or backwards to add some extra groove or swing to the track. When drawing in bass patterns it is often a good idea to have a drum loop already in place so that you can get a good feel for the groove.

In order to remove frequencies beneath 20hz (bass energy that humans are unable to hear but still takes up headroom in the mix) from our newly crafted bass sound we turn to FabFilters excellent Pro Q. In this video we have the Simpler grouped into our Sample Auditioner Rack and you can see how to make one of these here.Ībleton Live does not come with an EQ capable of delivering a 48db cut other than EQ3 but this is restricted to rolling off at a minimum of 50hz. The tutorial explains how to remove the click from a drum sound using the samplers start position control and attack envelope before using the transpose parameter to match the pitch of the sample with that of the tracks existing kick drum. In this Ableton Live tutorial we take a look at modifying drum samples in the Ableton default sampler (simpler) to create interesting bass textures.
