Let’s dive in and see how you can use AI to generate music and make custom beats that are both innovative and professional.

1. Create Your Soundful Beat Project and Download It

First, you need to create a beat project on Soundful. Here’s how you can do it:

• Step 1: Log in to your Soundful account. If you haven’t already, sign up for a pro subscription to access all the features.
• Step 2: Use the AI Music Generator to create your beat. Choose your preferred genre, tempo, and mood to tailor the beat to your needs.
• Step 3: Once you are satisfied with the beat, click on the download option. You will have the option to download the beat as an Ableton project file in .als format. This file will include both the stems and MIDI loaded in, as well as 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.

2. Open the Ableton Session with the Stems

After downloading your Soundful project, follow these steps to open it in Ableton:

• Step 1: Open Ableton Live on your computer.
• Step 2: Navigate to the location where you saved the downloaded .als file.
• Step 3: 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 smooth setup lets you start your project right away, without the trouble of importing and organizing each stem manually.

3. Select “Drum Rack” from the Instruments

To start creating drum samples, you need to set up a drum rack in Ableton:

• Step 1: In Ableton, go to the Instruments section on the left-hand side.
• Step 2: Look for “Drum Rack” and drag it into an empty MIDI track. This will open a grid where you can place your drum samples.

The Drum Rack is a versatile tool that lets you organize and trigger your samples easily.

4. Choose the Track for Sampling (Kick, Snare, Clap, etc.)

Next, you need to choose the specific tracks you want to sample:

• Step 1: In the Ableton session, identify the track you want to sample, such as “kick,” “snare,” or “clap.”
• Step 2: Click on the track to highlight it and see the audio wave.

Choosing the right samples is crucial for building a cohesive and high-quality musical beat.

5. Consolidate the Clip

To prepare your sample, you need to consolidate the audio clip:

• Step 1: Select the desired portion of the audio wave that you want to use as a sample.
• Step 2: Right-click on the selected clip and choose “Consolidate” (or use the shortcut Command+J on Mac or Ctrl+J on Windows).

Consolidating the clip makes it neatly trimmed and ready to use as a sample.

6. Drag the Audio Clip into a Sampler Slot in Drum Rack

Now it’s time to load your sample into the Drum Rack:

• Step 1: Open your Drum Rack and locate an empty sampler slot.
• Step 2: Drag the consolidated audio clip into the empty slot.

This step lets you use your AI-generated samples in your Drum Rack, making it easy to create custom beats.

7. Use Unique AI-Generated Samples to Make a Custom Beat

With your samples loaded into the Drum Rack, you can now start creating your beat:

• Step 1: Use the MIDI editor in Ableton to sequence your drum patterns.
• Step 2: Experiment with different combinations of kick, snare, clap, and other percussion samples to craft your unique beat.

Using AI-generated samples from Soundful boosts your creativity and ensures your beats are high quality and royalty free.
