How to Make "One More Time" by Daft Punk in Ableton

Another great tutorial on sampling in Ableton. Recreating one of the most famous loops in house  music. It doesn't matter  what kind of music you are listening to, you have heard One More Time by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, better known as Daft Punk. This one was one of their first hit tracks, that made them really big stars. There has been some talk about how they created this track, allegedly, they have denied the use of samples from More Spell on You by Eddie Johns. We will not go into that side of the story. We will just point out the technical side of it. This video is a great example how easy is to create a sample based song in Ableton. Also, it is interesting how easy is to recreate this loop, at least to the skilful producer.

Tutorial On Sampling In Ableton

Great hands-on video on sampling in its right form, creating something completely new out of a piece of track. The guy takes a part from the intro of George Benson's track “I Want To Hold Your Hand”, and transforms it into a deep tech track. This is the way it should be done, and not just take someones music, just remix it, and call it your own. The parts used are unrecognizable after the work is done. Mostly because the original material is used in very short chunks, that are then rearranged to crate totally different composition. Further on, this guy uses some filtering and some other techniques to get the sound even more unique.
