This Ableton Technique Creates ENDLESS Keyboard Sounds
In this tutorial we explore stacking keyboard sounds with Ableton Meld and enhancing everything with Expression Control. The ADSR of Electric keyboards is not unlike a synth, so matching that ADSR to a parallel synth like Meld can make it very easy to blend synth sounds to a keyboard and get very unique tones!

  • @dougr5187
    @dougr5187 Місяць тому

    It's a good idea TBF, as we can clearly view / adapt the arrangement for contrasting or supporting elements (and also keep some sections of the song minimal or energetic, or change some notes due to timing or frequency issues etc). I tend to use a different method when arranging / choosing instruments, but this 'one midi track' idea is decent. Cheers.

    • @TomCasey

      Absolutely, there's definitely other approaches for this. Thanks for watching (and commenting) :)

  • @oldensad5541
    @oldensad5541 Місяць тому

    Ehm... Why not just create separate pieces of midi intentionally, like compose bass line, then chords, then choose lead and drumms, and arrange everything into song... Like i believe everyone should do? O_o Or you talking about situation in wich you get some random midi notes someone else wrote, and you just try to make something out of it?

    • @TomCasey
      @TomCasey Місяць тому

  • @Andrew-rz7qt
    @Andrew-rz7qt Місяць тому

    When I used piano rolls I don't like placing notes that can't be translated live. It's sound unnatural to my ears like a keyboard player has 3 hands. I would still use it but I would have to remove parts of it. But Hay that's just me

    • @TomCasey
      @TomCasey Місяць тому

      Yes it's very dense. When I do piano parts I use a sparser setup too. I'd also recommend people stay away from MIDI chord packs where every note has the same exact velocity. It's a telltale sign the piano MIDI samples were not composed by a real piano performance.

    • @Andrew-rz7qt
      @Andrew-rz7qt Місяць тому

      @TomCasey I totally agree, not to have all the notes land at the same time unless it's a run of stabbed chords but yeah different velocities on chords and notes coming in a different times makes a more authentic sound 😃👍

  • @danwool
    @danwool 2 місяці тому

    Thank you for this very succinct video! So when the spec for the dialogue levels is for, say -27 LUFS, how do we determine this? Is it ever measured on the dialogue stem only? Doesn't the integrated LUFS of the entire show's mix take into account explosions, gunshots etc.? How do we determine and adhere to a specific dialogue spec, as opposed to a show's overall loudness spec? Thx!

    • @TomCasey
      @TomCasey 2 місяці тому

      Yea you can look at the temporary LUFS while dialogue is mainly happening. The main idea is you're going to have ample headroom when people are talking. Loud sound FX can be right near 0, but the main idea is there is a big dynamic range in the overall mix. If people are having a gentle conversation, we wouldn't be pushing those audio levels to the edge like a vocal track in a pop song. TV shows tend to run a little bit louder, generally. But now that so many TV shows are a streaming show and highly cinematic, I'm sure someone would argue against that LOL. Documentary programs do still tend to be louder imo. I want people to be able to hear the dialogue and not get completely destroyed by an explosion sound effect when it does happen. That's just my perspective though. It's going to depend on your project. I HIGHLY recommend ripping audio from movies or TV shows that your audience would also watch and assess what kind of loudness you need to be in range of. We just want people to enjoy the program and not reach for the volume because we're way off the mark.

    • @danwool
      @danwool 2 місяці тому

      @@TomCasey Thanks for the prompt and helpful reply! I'm starting to get a grasp on what levels dialogue should be. It's adhering to the technical spec I'm not sure about. I've heard about QC nightmares where if the dialogue, among other things, isn't just so the project gets sent back. I'm still not clear how the overall dialogue level in a project is ascertained. Thanks again!
