yo, wanna collabarate? I also use ableton but I make harmonic ambience melodies and such. If we could collab you could create a fitting synth track. Drop your e-mail if you are down to try it!

it's so wonderful to see how you just make music. Seeing the whole picture is the best way to learn, instead of teaching small, random tips, because there is no need to fill in the gaps. For the first time I see results when I try to simulate the tutorial from start to finish, I feel like I'm really learning. Although I still have the newbie mistake: I do things to make something sound good (and it does sound good) but I don't understand why. Hahaha. It happens to me with eq, comp, gate, but you have already motivated me to look for information about it. I thank you so much!
I’m glad the video is helpful! I always liked full process videos more than “tips and tricks” for this reason when I was learning, too. Thanks for checking out the video!
I think this is exactly what I was looking for! Synthwave is awesome! I have no Ableton, no instruments, no nothing, but a desire to learn all this stuff!! Love you!!!
I come from a rock music background using Pro Tools etc, but only just now getting my head around creating MIDIs in Ableton so this helped a lot, thanks 😊
I've been using Ableton for a little over 4 months, and the midi is so much fun to play around with. Once you get comfy in there with hotkeys and stuff it's so easy to mess around and experiment
My biggest problem is chords. I can make basslines all day. But trying to make chords that go along with what the bass is doing kills anything I have going on with a track. Thank you for the chord explanation
I love the video, however I noticed you were trying to drag the values of the materials. Did you know you can just type it in if you hover over it then press the number you want? Love your work, keep it up!
This is basically just a way of doing parallel processing. So instead of setting up a return track for one channel, I usually just do it on that channel.
Thanks! And unfortunately, no ALS. I was trying to clean up my Ableton installs and somehow deleted all of my older projects and this was among them. It was a sad, sad day.
Hey, thanks! So the instrument is actually Wavetable…that’s the name of the synth. The bass and keys are pretty similar. They both use sawtooth waves in the Wavetable instrument.
Synthwave track I put together a long time ago…this is the full song. Thank you! Stranger Things Meets Funk - Synthwave ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-adkLKPRBFgo.html
@khartbeats Ahh ok, I JUST bought ableton for school so maybe down the line I can buy something like that as well. Maybe for now I can try to use one of the preloaded synths?
Im assuming that only a fraction of this is possible with the Intro version? Like Wavetables just dont exist in Intro *edit: I just now caught that you're using 11, not 12. doh!
Yeah, this was an older video so I was still using 11. Live 12 added some new stuff for the lower versions, but you could also get something like Vital, which is a free wavetable synth, to use inside Ableton.
It’s the davy preset from the free themes pack from Sonic Bloom. If you search for her name on here, she has a video showing them with a link to download the pack.
The only preset I used was the one with Drift. If you open the instrument in the side panel there’s an arrow to open up different presets that way. Hope that helps.
Really like your channel, nice and chilled with a different style from the usual. I saw one channel (estuera) saying synthwave was an 'imaginary' genre and wasn't a thing in 80's mainstream music. I looked into this, and it's possibly memories from older 80's movies. I've pinned the style down to a guy called Alan Silvestri, who wrote soundtracks for a few of the 80's 'feel good' PG and under 18 rated movies.
Thanks so much! I do think a lot of modern synthwave is a mash up of a lot of nostalgic (and probably overused) elements from 80s music and culture. Especially offshoots like Vaporwave that are almost a mockery of the culture. Either way, I enjoy all of them 🙂
Thanks! I started on GarageBand, so Ableton was my first "real" DAW. It definitely has a steep learning curve and took me a while to develop a good workflow.
learned a lot with this video thanks ! i had to adjust the gate for snares a little bit cause they were causing me trouble and the chain for effects was obscure to me but it's a start to undesrstand the daw and make a full song without paid vst.
Thanks for sharing! I love synthwave. I'm still a beginner with Ableton, does anyone know how she dropped the 707 kick on each 1/4 note so fast, what are the steps to do this, thanks!
Hey, thanks so much for checking out the video! Unfortunately, I don’t know a way to put the kicks down as quickly as this…I edited the video to cut that part out. Quickest way is to duplicate, so select the amount of time (like a bar) and then cntrl + D to duplicate it across.
@@khartbeats Thanks for replying. Ok, I know how to do that. I thought there was some more advanced technique that I was not aware of 😆. This is the first video of your channel I have watched and will check out more!
@@pennyc7064 sorry for getting your hopes up 😂 only other thing I could think of doing is saving a premade clip in a template if it’s a simple pattern like this you’ll use repeatedly. Hope you enjoy some of the other vids!
Intro is pretty limited…if you see yourself continuing music production, I’d say go for Suite. It really has a lot packed into it. You could also stick with Intro and pick up some free or cheap 3rd party plugins to fill some of the gaps.
Thanks. I think I’m going to just get suite. I’m just doing this as a hobby but it really makes it easier when watching videos like yours to be able to just pull the things up that you are. I really enjoyed your video! I’m going to be doing a deep dive on your channel. Already subbed.
@@komnerfrantornet I showed it kind of quickly around 2:17 in this one. Basically using the compressor on side chain mode to drop the volume of the track based on the kick. I did this same thing to almost every track here.
you are AMAZING, thanks for your work, definitely learned a lot. everything you show and teach is right at the level i need, where its not too overwhelming with tech sound design stuff yet super informative and applicable
This is great. I was liking some vst plugin sounds, but I wanted to make those kinds of sounds in Live with stock plugins. Five minutes later, I had some really great stuff. It took me so long to learn some of the other things like Simpler. I’m really glad to hear your concise explanation of these tools.
As an amateur who doesn't always want to spend $ on all the latest gadget software/plugins beyond the already expensive DAWs (even though I have and continue to spend lol ), your videos give me a lot to learn from, just with the stock plugins, and this is soooo rare! Thanks!
Haven't Been on the channel in a while and it is awesome to see the growth on the channel! Well deserved and earned. Great vibes K!!! This is vibes of my favorite show Stranger Things and I am an 80s kid! Blessings!
@@khartbeats Always! Have to support you sis! You have been doing a great job and I appreciate seeing that consistency! That's what makes it here! Blessings!
