BEST & WORST WAYS TO USE ABLETON'S OTT!!! 

reno delacasas good idea, will add to the list

@@OfficialAHEE OTT is so perfect for vocal chops though!!

What, you're on beatbox community jahha

are you even serious? man search on youtube

@@ruslanr.6171 What was even the point of that comment besides to be an asshole?

Actually I did use OTTs on some vocal the other day and I'm leaving it there cause it sounds great. Of course, it is inside a vocal chain where I had cut most of the bass out, plus it's one of those autotuney robotic chorusey parts that kinda sound well when squashed up like that. So yeah, even some vocals may benefit from properly tweaked OTT

trying to help y'all out while offering a way to help me out, glad you got something out of it.

🤣😂👌

esteban72927 Hey Thanks! And yes they work in 10. Hope they help a ton! 👽🙌

Teak Zachary yeah I’ve changed my mind on that, I just go back and edit the video. Lol

When is it good? Is his methodology correct when utilizing gain staging?

​@@lancemezh6345 I guess it's fine to mess around with OTT creatively in the way shown in the vid so long as you're level matching your input / output. This isn't a mixdown tutorial, so I won't comment on when/how/why you should use multiband compression in that context. I've heard some people say that when you start out you should dial in a value that sounds good, and then back off about 50%. I hadn't heard this when I started so can't comment on it personally, but I can see the wisdom in it: subtlety is key and something that you just learn to get right over time.

to be fair - this was incredibly informative! and he was highlighinh the spectral differences, not just "loud good" ing

vacuum regular totally true, tho after Developing an ear for it I’ve also realized that the gain differences are a huge part of the process, especially how it ties into how my templates with limiters on the groups work. ✌️

Wise words

ReAKTIV thank you. I've made electronic music since 1992. My first sampler was a 12 bit Ensoniq EPS that I bought with a friend along with two Technics 1210s and a cheap mixer. I still have own and use one of the turntables. I'm an old fart is what I'm saying. I switched to Ableton on version 4 for fucks sake 😀 If you want another advice then it would be to look into getting a Pushtec and Pultec VST for upwards and downwards compression like in the good old days. The pushtec/pultec defined the sound of groups like *The Prodigy* and to me they are Top 3 of all times - both mix-wise and in their songwriting. They were among the first big room techno acts, if not _the_ first. There probably wouldn't be a Scrillex without them. So look into that if you like this sort of compression. Peace ✌️

noted

Because they learned from RU-vidrs who do not themselves know how to use the plugins they're supposedly explaining.

Brandon marshall thanks! I’m so stoked!👽🤟

@Terry Anderson why is it bad practice?

I thought I was the only person doing that. I use Xfer OTT on every master track, play with the levels and dial back for a solid glue and boost before anything else is inserted.

But learning is hard.

socks yeah could be a cool tutorial. I’ll have to ind the original serum patch for that

oh that's the beautiful sound of my cpu choking itself out. ;D

Hunter White Thanks. I’ve had several odd jobs in my life, started off delivering pizzas, worked at a farmers market, was a lighting designer/VJ, made music for a circus, but I’ve reached being a full time producer/DJ for ~ 3 years now. ✌️👽 if you’re looking to do similarly, Try to practice in ableton everyday, constantly try to learn new things and as talent develops actively search for ways to monetize your skills. It was a gradual shift for me. Cheers 👽✌️

@@OfficialAHEE Thanks for sharing, man. I am actually looking to do similarly, so I appreciate the insight. Cheers!

Also its pretty clear that if you put heavy compression on something with heavy delay and reverb you are probably gonna wanna turn the dry wet on the delay and reverb down. Or better yet run them after the compressor if possible.

Wes Gardner you’ll need Amp, EQ, all the compressors, delays, overdrive, reverb & some others

Todd Preston yeah definitely, especially on drums

I’ve used ott on the master sometimes in my lofi hip hop...see >> Swum, his production is rediculous and likely Ott’d

There is not, hope it’s easy enough to buy them separately ✌️

@dom anca yeah but saying OTT is bad on vocals and only testing it on vocals with reverb doesn't make any sense

@dom anca 100% my dude!

It's called Neuro Hop or Glitch Hop. Mixes Neurofunk DnB basses with Hip Hop Beats.

@@OfficialAHEE Thanks... keep the good videos.

kpbdrums oh definitely, u could then resave those as alt versions of the rack, I do that too

@@OfficialAHEE Cheers, gonna get into these. Great channel btw

It will do something to whatever gain you put in. It's both a downward compressor and an upward compressor, so when the gain is too high it downward compresses, and when too low it upward compresses. What you consider ideal really depends on what you're trying to achieve.

Jay Zill I’m unfamiliar with groove3

@@OfficialAHEE I'm watching Multiplier's tutorials on their platform currently (dot com). I imagine yours would be top notch also (and you can earn from them, not sure how much tho).

Chris P. Bacon wish I knew how, lol my recording software, OBS is very limited. Do you know how?

@@OfficialAHEE I'm pretty sure you can use VST plugins in OBS.

Nine Crowns thanks, yeah I just discovered that tho unfortunately adding fx in OBS makes my cpu spike to a level that makes it impossible to record with. Still thinking of ways to improve the quality tho.

@@OfficialAHEE wait but couldn't you low cut in your editing software? (if it's not a live stream)

Hey, I found a vid that might help. Basically adding a VPN to your search engine to get around the location blocking. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9diWdSun1cE.html#action=share

There's an old video from OnCloudSine where he goes in detail about this. Pretty helpful. Type his name + ableton mb dynamics you'll find it

djvoid1 I agree, it could use a better interface and I personally would love to see parameters change as the time & amount knobs are adjusted.
