Thank you very much! Please do much more! It's like you say: there is a lot for beginners but very little for everybody else. Also I like the style of your tutorial: you don't waste anyone's time and just explain in a calm voice 🙏

With Tip 8 just be aware that if you've set a default MIDI track to load up with a device eg. an EQ8, you'll have to get rid of any/all devices on that track before you'll be able to route another track's MIDI to it. I have less hair now.

@fureaongaku 4 года назад

that humanity pad sounds really good

@brenttauromusic 4 года назад

That info text tip is a game changer. Was always wondering if Ableton had a version of what Pro Tools folks used for noting down mic/pres used for recording that sound

@EDMProd 4 года назад

Yep it's a great one!

@Desiqnify Год назад

The Vocoder is a useful tool to bring in some mid frequencies on drums where it's been highpassed in recording

@Allan-et5ig 3 года назад

EDMProd Enjoyed it a lot! I knew many not all of these tips. For years, I was caught in the wilderness of Ableton's huge feature set. Then one day it all "clicked in." This video could help your intermediate to advanced users level out that very steep learning curve. (As my certified Live trainer says, Ableton themselves are partly to blame for selling their product as simple. It is not!) Like learning (conversational) Russian, it will all one day click in for most of your users. I have not yet mastered Russian but can honestly say, Live for me was much harder!

@EDMProd 3 года назад

It definitely takes time and patience! Glad you enjoyed it :)

@gamu1647 5 лет назад

Oh man this is really helpful

@EDMProd 5 лет назад

@swissmetaldrummer 4 года назад

Thanks, very professionally presented. How did you zoom in on the screen recording?

@EDMProd 4 года назад

Using a software called Screenflow :)

@uiliumpowell4684 Год назад

💚Is there any way to transpose a whole scene while conforming to a scale? Like those old keyboards with the auto accompaniment or a QY-10? Also, when you do conform something to a scale, is there anything that can weed out undesirable harmonies that happen even when it is in a perfect scale(say C) like F & B making a diminished chord or E&F or B&C playing together right next to each other?

@calciumvaughan3519 4 года назад

Tip number 22: Sort your CPU out. :D

@pichiebass 2 года назад

Hahahahaha great!!!

@arielheartheat727 3 года назад

Love love love these. The more I learn about Ableton the more I love it, curious. Why do you use audio samples for your drums instead of using Drum Racks?

@EDMProd 3 года назад

Personally, it's a workflow thing. I like being able to drag and drop directly into the arrangement rather than having to load samples into a Drum Rack, open the MIDI editor, and program them in. It's also helpful to edit the samples with the fades too. :)

@arielheartheat727 3 года назад

@@EDMProd Got it, I have done both, but since I recently moved to Ableton, the drum rack has been so inspiring for beats... Used to drop samples like that in Logic..

@airfixx_8952 Год назад

@@arielheartheat727 Go with whatever works for you.... Drum racks are gold if you want to play/program drum performances as kits rather than compose by eye. Note: You can drag instruments and other racks into each drum cell if you see fit.

@chasey4069 3 года назад

Which version of live are you using?

@airfixx_8952 Год назад

re: Resonator... I find it far more useful on percussive sounds or other sounds with quick transients...... Also if you use a free max4live device called bcResonCtrl you can link the root note to a midi clip on a separate track.... VERY cool!

@mttlsa686 Год назад

about the resampling tip...why not freeze and flatten?

@brzi4459 3 года назад

13:33 isnt the delay now applied to all 3 bands? how do you make sure its only applied to the highs?

@EDMProd 3 года назад

No it is applied to only the highs, as it is inside the chain. Notice how the Hi band is selected in the rack.

@henriquematias1986 4 года назад

that was a good one although the only one i did not know was the Edit Info Text! Can’t believe this was hiding under my nose for so long! Once i did an “advanced ableton workshop” in a conference in UK and i surprised everyone by giving a whole workshop just on the MIDI devices, there is a lot of power in there which is overlooked by most producers. One if my favourite tricks is to have a “Loopback MIDI BUS” and then having a midi track from ableton routed back into ableton to behave as a MIDI controller. It’s a very powerful or at least a lot of fun to do, to have ableton assigned as MIDI controller for itself. There is a trick for instance where you can assign a note interval as knob controller, so for instance you press C1-C2 on the MIDI keyboard when assigning a MIDI controller to a knob - instead of the usual knob to knob assignment. This will work so every note in your keyboard between C1 and C2 will move the knob in equal amounts. If you put those two tricks together you can then start using Arpeggiator to arpeggiate knob positions. It’s overcomplicating but definitely a lot of fun showing it off to other people! 🤣

@drelephanttube 5 лет назад

Great vid. I wonder why your CPU is working hard at 21:00 when there's nothing playing?

@EDMProd 5 лет назад

Yeah no idea haha, maybe the screen recording program

@albertgonzalez9691 3 года назад

Damn dude tip 8 tho, Ive been sleepin

@hunterenterprise12 4 года назад

Why this video would get a thumbs down, i don't know, try searching for advanced user content! Well done you, hope to see more now i have a bell on you.

@EDMProd 4 года назад

Thanks for the comment Errol :)

@sarjakongronghang6440 3 года назад

Does the Lfo work with 3rd party plugins too?

@EDMProd 3 года назад

Yep - just select it from the expanded plugin view (little arrow on the plugin in Ableton). If the control isn't appearing, press 'Configure' and tweak the knob in your plugin. Then you should be able to map it in Ableton.

@slightly_elevated 4 года назад

If this is advanced, do you have any expert tips? I don't consider myself an expert but I know about all of these techniques already. These are great tips for anybody who doesn't know them yet though.

@Systomd 4 года назад

Yes I would say it's more beginner tips...

@EDMProd 4 года назад

Sure, there are definitely more advanced things we could cover!

@guillermobenitez7093 Год назад

Abt tips 5 just freeze and flatten the track and if you want to keep the effects Duplicate freeze and flatten

@nicwalshy 4 года назад

Is there a reason I don't have all of those sweet Utility racks? Are they third party?

@Systomd 4 года назад

You have to create it... For example you can set a lowpass filter with a EQ eight and save it as a preset. It to go faster when working.

@EDMProd 4 года назад

Might do a video on making these in the future!

@Artersa 4 года назад

EDMProd please do

@wrigna1 Год назад

I don't understand the purpose of tip 8 at 9:09. You already have a midi clip to edit notes in so why are you creating another midi clip on the channel below? What's the purpose?

@airfixx_8952 Год назад

Because certain midi FX change the midi notes you're playing before they are output to the instrument..... eg arp, chord, pitch, random etc.

@giovannatenorio6707 Год назад

I feel like there is gonna be a r/whoosh joke here

@jcorteling 4 года назад

Pretty good gems here but it would have been really useful if you had proper examples of the tips in action rather than going "you can do this..." and then randomly twiddling knobs

@lou5041 Год назад

It feels like you are just fooling around

@neoconnor4395 10 месяцев назад

This are not advanced techniques. Show me some Igorrr....

@wolfgang4468 3 года назад

Now this is a mixed bag! While this might be useful for certain people, there is hardly any production tips though. Mainly sound manipulation and distortion, so the title is chosen wrongly and stole me 20 minutes of my life. :(

@TheRickysee 4 года назад

But why are you demoing with that god awful sample. It’s so nonmusical...ruins it..good tips but I can’t here how good they are with that ugly sample 🤷🏽‍♂️
