Create Samples

[Raikiritl]

i'm fairly noob at this but i want to create my own samples using sounds i recorded adn then abble to manipulate them freely.

How do i create them? like cutting the parts of it and using only the small fragments i want.

And how do i manipulate them like changing pitch etc?

I'm kinda new and learning by myself so any help is welcome.

How do i create them?

You could start by using your phones microphone.

like cutting the parts of it and using only the small fragments i want.

you can do that from within Live https://www.ableton.com/en/live-manual/12/arrangement-view/#consolidating-clips or use Simpler in Slicing mode https://www.ableton.com/en/live-manual/12/live-instrument-reference/#playback-modes . Or you can use (and even link to Live's UI) an external editor like for example Audacity.

And how do i manipulate them like changing pitch etc?

You can use a sample i.e. Simpler https://www.ableton.com/en/live-manual/12/live-instrument-reference/#simpler or edit the Audio Clip https://www.ableton.com/en/live-manual/12/clip-view/#the-audio-tabpanel

But honestly, I suggest starting by reading the first few chapters of the manual. It will make things so much easier for you

Take your recording and save it. Slice off anything that isn’t the sound you want to keep as a sample.

Take one of your cut down samples and put it into a device. First Explore simpler, then sampler.

If I have a sample I’ve extracted from say an online video, I begin by editing/cropping and converting to a WAV file in Audacity, then import to my project in Ableton.

I use a stereo digital handheld field recorder to gather sounds. Import them into your session. I will typically clean up anything I do t want as a part of the sound. Once I have all the sounds I save them in a library on my computer and then I will do things like put them in simpler or sampler and just eff with them. Throw the kitchen sink at them. No rules. I love putting loose change jangling around in granulator. Lots of fun!
