Precision Amens for Modern Jungle with Ableton Sampler

This is my preferred method for creating laser cut precision Amens with the Ableton Sampler. There are many ways to create those ultra-tight staccato chops you hear in the likes of Sully's jungle, and even Squarepusher. Sampler is my weapon of choice for getting that modern jungle sound in Ableton, but you can achieve a similar effect with the Drum Rack device. I also show you how you can use Follow Actions to generate more patterns quickly and some other cools things that you can do only in Sampler. 🙏🏻 You can get this Ableton Project, along with loads more chopped breaks, Project files, Ableton presets and sample dumps on my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/precision-amens-84306757 All Amens come from Rhythm Lab's FREE 'The Ultimate Amen Breaks Pack': https://rhythm-lab.com/the-ultimate-amen-breaks-pack/ My favourite paid Rhythm Lab pack: https://rhythm-lab.com/neu_jungle/ Chopping the Amen break to a Drum Rack in Ableton: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PsjhbkfGEc&t=21s I follow a similar process in my Think break sampler, process, chop video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRuI2lhSDcs You'll hear me do this all the time on my music production livestreams too: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLb4UF_CBs_tI2KeoXfW87Lb5Ysq6gGaUp Check out my latest release 'Hypnotise' for loads more examples of this method in action: https://open.spotify.com/album/3PYuEjGCJ1IIoLqGTjqV8a?si=RpEF6-LPS7e162e5UODBYA #ableton #amenbreak #musicproduction 0:00 Intro & Demo 0:20 Choosing & Tidying our Sample 1:00 Basic Processing 1:19 Channel EQ 2:04 Glue Compressor 2:35 Inphonik RX950 3:17 Resampling 3:30 Creating a Sampler Slicing Preset 3:57 Transients 4:14 Slice to MIDI 4:41 Tidying up our Slices 5:20 Grouping our Sampler & Mapping Macros 5:50 Creating our Chops on the Timeline 6:15 Working in Short Phrases 6:52 Consolidation 7:02 My Favourite Thing about this Technique 8:24 Tracker Style Pitch Rolls 9:16 Variations 9:43 Generate More Patterns with Follow Actions 11:45 Sculpting the Sound of your Break Further 11:56 Adding More Audio Effects 12:51 Karplus-Strong Effect 13:29 Vs Drum Rack?
