lately i’ve moved off plugins and back to stock ableton effects and i think my mixes have actually really benefitted from it. i spent a bit of time a/bing my favourite plugins with the ableton counterparts and for the most part they sound exactly the same. i really think ableton’s stock tools are almost second to none for mixing clean and loud electronic music, but you do need to spend some time with them and learn them. not to mention the workflow, collaboration and cpu benefits from mostly using the stock plugins. the other note i would say is people should experiment with changing the default presets for some of the effects. worth going through the library and finding presets you resonate with and saving them as the default
Great video, thanks a lot for this content ! Do you recommend sidechaining the kick to other instruments when mixing ? I see that a lot, especially to make the bass sit well with the kick
If Ableton do something about the faders they can be on to something!!! I got homies that can mix in Ableton they do a good job and seeing you working this is very good as well!!!
im new to this stuff, is there a way to use a knob of sort to use more or less of an effect? im currently trying to use a guitar rig on vocals and i can't seem to find anything to turn the effect slightly down.
So word out there bro. What do you think of the concept of turning your master volume down to about -10 before adding on the drum bus, saturator, limiter, multi compressor and all those things?. The theory is that it does leave headroom when mastering. Yeah, I know we are mastering right here, yet still when we start to add these plug-ins, it immediately pushes the volume and can introduce clipping & unwanted artifacts
🫡👍🏾🫡 thank you much appreciated for you sharing this gave me inspiration. Watching this my thought process got lit yeah I do have Ableton 11 stander I'm not using that at the moment I am using my live 2 so transferring this work flow for mixing over onto live 2 is where my brain and inspiration went 1. Example drums pad apply the mix process how you did to each drum next drum program would be used like and sub mix instead of using the actual sub mix save those 4 slots for if needed processing this getting long winded so I'll stop now and continue watching thanks again tho sir 🫡👍🏾🫡
