How to make a drum 'n' bass beat in Ableton Live

All the samples and advice you need

Computer Music, Thu 9 Jul 2009, 4:55 pm UTC

Step 1: Fire up Live and create a new project. Set the tempo to 174BPM and open a Simpler on a MIDI track. Drag Kick27 (right-click to download) into the Simpler. Create a MIDI clip and place kicks on the first and sixth eight-notes. The length of the MIDI notes is important – hold Alt so that the end note doesn't automatically snap to the nearest eighth-note.

    It was all good till I added the Ch 7 bus w/ the saturator then I all I got was a high pitched squeal. TBH it sounded great with out the Saturator /Compressor. Are you sure you didn't miss something. (or more likely wtf did I miss/do wrong.
