This is our second guide on how to make AI Music your best ally if you’re a music producer.
At Soundful, we’re excited to help you use AI to improve your workflow and create unique music. Whether you’re a seasoned producer or just starting, our AI tools make music creation easy, fun, and accessible.
This guide will show you six easy steps to create custom synthesizers in Ableton using Soundful’s AI Music Generator.
Step 1: Create Your Soundful Beat Project and Download It
First, you need to create a beat project on Soundful. Here’s how:
- Log in to Soundful: If you haven’t already, sign up for a pro subscription to access all the features.
- Create a Beat: Use the AI Music Generator to create your beat. Choose your preferred genre, tempo, and mood to tailor the beat to your needs.
- Download Your Project: Once you’re satisfied with the beat, click the download option. Download the beat as an Ableton project file in .als format. This file will have the stems, MIDI, and section markers for your track’s arrangement.
Downloading your project in .als format ensures that all elements of your beat are perfectly organized and ready for further editing in Ableton.
Step 2: Open the Ableton Session with the Stems
After downloading your Soundful project, follow these steps to open it in Ableton:
- Open Ableton Live: Start Ableton Live on your computer.
- Locate the .als File: Navigate to the location where you saved the downloaded .als file.
- Open the File: Double-click the .als file to open it in Ableton. You will see all the stems loaded into the session, along with the MIDI tracks and section markers.
This efficient setup lets you begin working on your project right away, without the need to manually import and organize each stem.
Step 3: Look for the Track You Want to Make a Sample Of
To create your custom synthesizer, you need to select the track you want to sample. This could be a pad, lead, vocal, or any other element:
- Identify the Track: In the Ableton session, locate the track you want to sample, such as “pad,” “lead,” or “vocals.”
- Highlight the Track: Click on the track to highlight it and view the audio waveform.
Choosing the right samples is crucial for building a cohesive and high-quality musical beat.
Step 4: Select the Desired Audio Wave and Consolidate the Clip
To prepare your sample, you need to consolidate the audio clip:
- Select the Audio Wave: Choose the portion of the audio wave you want to use as a sample.
- Consolidate the Clip: Right-click on the selected clip and choose “Consolidate” (or use the shortcut Command+J on Mac or Ctrl+J on Windows).
Consolidate the clip to trim it neatly and prepare it as a sample.
Step 5: Open Your Instrument Track and Drag the Audio Clip into the Sampler Slot
Now it’s time to load your sample into the sampler slot in Ableton:
- Open the Instrument Track: In Ableton, go to the track where you want to create your custom synthesizer.
- Drag the Audio Clip: Drag the consolidated audio clip into an empty sampler slot.
This step lets you use your AI-generated samples in your instrument track to create custom synthesizers.
Step 6: Use Unique AI-Generated Samples to Make a Custom Synthesizer
With your samples loaded into the sampler slot, you can now start creating your custom synthesizer:
- Sequence Your Synth Patterns: Use the MIDI editor in Ableton to sequence your synth patterns.
- Experiment with Combinations: Try different combinations of pads, leads, and vocals to craft your unique synthesizer.
- Adjust Parameters: Modify parameters like pitch, filter, and envelope to shape the sound of your synthesizer.
Using AI-generated samples from Soundful makes your music more creative and ensures your compositions are high quality and royalty free.
