Here is a video of Da Funk, played live on Ableton Push 2.









Technical information:

This project uses the Daft Beats “Da Funk” which is a drum kit with isolated beats extracted from the original track.

The pink pads are the main melody sliced into the drum kit. We isolated it from the track using phase cancelation and a secret tool that will be covered in depth in a forthcoming premium tutorial.

The acid TB-303 was recreated using this plug-in : TAL-U-NO-LX

The trick was to use gliding to recreate the slide effect from the TB-303. It’s not perfect but sounds good enough for the remake. You can also use the new Wavetable synth in Ableton Live 10, with a different timber (included in the download).

Some distortion effect using the new Pedal from Live 10 helped shaping the sound further.

There is a side chain compressor on the smaller kick of the drum kit. When the Fat Kick and the Snare play, the small kick will be muted.
