ABLETON SAMPLER HELP PLEASE!!

[matb123]

alright guys...

Im trying to use the sampler in ableton to create my drums and im wondering is it possible to use the parameters in the sampler for the samples seperately becasue whenever i change a parameter for example say the attack on the amp evn. all of my samples attack change even though i have highlighted one specific example?

Help would be very appreciated, Thanks!

An Ableton drum rack insert is much more suited for this purpose then sampler

[Kombatant]

Just played around with it a bit more to be sure, but as far as I know, the filter and envelope tab is global. Why not adjust that sort of thing in a drum rack, or even adjust the sound then dump it back to audio, then fire it into a drum rack?

[mmmsure]

yeah man drum rack will solve all that. gives each sound its own simpler to play with the sound, aswell as ability to seperately add effects etc to each sound easily. i wish id gotten into it earlier to be honest but now that i have, im hooked.

read the section of the manual on instrument racks

you should also use another vst for drums because sampler doesn't have a stretch function (like battery)

drum rack for sure. I don't use either - I use battery, but drum rack was my go-to before then. Very able(ton -hehe) sampler.

Yeah, timestretch on Sampler is a much requested feature.

There is a way around it though. Ableton's inherent timestretch functions are quite advanced, so just drag the drums into an audio track set to the new tempo you want. Set it to beat's mode and make sure it's warped how you want it. Bounce that audio and import into sampler. Voila.

yeah the timestretching modes in ableton are amazing but i work with individual hits (not breaks) and its too hard for me to tune the drums unless i hear them in the mix with processing. This has apparently been requested since sampler was introduced in version 3. sampler is fantastic except for that one thing which is really frustrating. you can split the output of individual hits in battery to different audio tracks tho, so it works basically as well.

While we're at it i should mention Xfer Record's Nerve (http://www.xferrecords.com/products/nerve) which has some really good sample tweaking stuff.
