i always try to watch a new video of yours whenever i see it on my home feed. most of time i end up absolutely loving them. they really make me feel inspired afterwards because you somehow always seem to show something cool. i genuinely hope you'll keep managing to make them! all the best!
So glad to hear that and thanks for taking time to watch and listen to my gibberish 🙏 I try to inspire myself by digging for some cool stuff inside Live so it’s great to hear that it’s also inspiring to you
@@Zdrewe I got that too. I think everyone who pre-ordered or something like that got it. I was thinking more of sponsored videos and such because you're doing really good job showcasing how it can be used. Which IMHO for newcomers/amateurs that get swarmed with deals and videos about new VSTs all the time is priceless. Mainly because it is easy to think that you need those plugins to do good music.
@AeldraNightwood totally agree with “the swarm of plugin deals”. Ngl I was also a big plugin junkie but nowadays there are only a few which I use and can’t live without. Sadly the new plugins that come out offer nothing new and exciting
Well, in the end, buying Serum is still less expensive than buying the Live "SUITE" version to get these synths :D since literally none of these three is in the standard version of Live xD
Thanks a lot 🙏 well, as said in video and description I’m a little bit late to the party when it comes to stock synths as a plugin junkie 😂 those three here were my go to but I’ll definitely put analog into hard tests
Ableton should allow for custom skins, knobs, sliders etc on its stock instruments and have them pop-up as a separate window like VSTs do. Ableton's stock instruments serve a specific Ableton design philosophy. That's great. But instruments can be aesthetically pleasing, or made ergonomically more useful outside of that scope.
I'm not quite sure about customs skins although the addition of making ON/OFF switches instead of knobs would be perfect. You can kinda go around with it by using variations (as I've done for those presets and racks) but still... it would be awesome. Speaking of separate windows.... man, recording and cropping Live devices on the bottom of the screen is pain in the ass 😂
I think “mojo” is actually a good therm here. The other thing is that no matter the sound you choose, it already has some Fx on. That’s why I try to narrow the gap with this free track I made. If you start both from scratch with basic shapes, they give you the same saw, square, sine etc. there’s no significant difference, at least for my ears. Going back to “mojo”, I think it has a lot to do with how simple wavetable looks compared to fancy and shiny serum. That might be my far fletched conspiracy theory tho
Thanks a lot 🙏 drift is cool but I just didn’t have enough time to play with it before preparing this vid. Some future presets I’ve mentioned will definitely include drif tho 😉
"Why we all chose VSTs instead" - who is "we"? Many people love Live's FM (Operator) and Wavetable (err, Wavetable) synths. And the recent Meld and Drift are fine too
If I use a in the box synth .. I always go to the Ableton stock stuff. Often I chose them over the room of synths and modular I’m sitting in now. I kinda went full circle ⭕️ and use the stock instruments and effects as my go to stuff Yea I got my EQs and compressors and certain reverbs and shit I use from 3rd parties but the built in stuff is wayyyy underrated. Except for EQ8 for boosting lol
First you need to work on sustain knob and make it stay as long as you can. Then the wetness will follow along. Oh, fast attack can be quite useful here too but sometimes it doesn’t depend on you
