wow..that idea with ref. tracks in diff. keys ist super cool
❤ happy it helps!!
A fun one you can add: a snare build track. Have the sampler loaded up already with a snare (or snare rack) and pre program the midi
Niceeeeee
Use a template myself for over a year, and I keep on changing and upgrading it! Best tip for sure is to make it your own! Thanks for sharing Zack!
It’s nice to see the custom templates get better and better with each iteration right?! Got any gems in yours that you can share? Something that really helps you?
@@TheCosmicAcademy I really love grouping lots of stuff in my projects! I havd one group with break sounds, and whitin that , I have 3 groups: Leads, Chords, and Other Elements! What you can do as well, is to make a seperate group for specific sounds that you often use. In my case, I like to go crazy with ambience sounds, so I have a seperate group, called 'Ambience'. Something I've been doing lately, workflow has inproved! And thats the fun thing, you can always grow your template! 😁✌🏻
I’ve been using default templates for a while, but still came away with a few things. Good one!
Happy it helped!! Nothing better than speeding up the ol’ workflow!!
Default settings for stock plugins. Set a eq with a low cut. Right click save as default. Set autofilter , beatrepeat, compressor sidechain on. Save as default. Same for new audio/midi tracks. Add most used stock effects. Turn them off. Save as default track.
Aand i reached the end of the clip where it was already suggested💪🏼
Love what you have here!! I use a lot of them as well!!
I do have my own templates since years and indeed it helps me to be a lot more quicker.
My most useful one in Ableton is : sidechain midi track - group of ref tracks - Resample track ready whenever you need to print and see something inside the audio - ofc a pre master rack on the master ready whenever needed - utility on the master with visualiser... + a ADPTR AUDIO Metric AB - A simple midi track which I just use for arranging, I put differents blocks of colors for the break, drop etc... (This one is actually super useful) - In my Fx group I keep my fav riser, just so it's already there at important section of the track, and the list goes on... It's already quite a lot of tips 😄
This is an awesome list!! Really appreciate you adding it!! Hope everyone can pull some gems from this ♥️💎
@@TheCosmicAcademy Thank you ♥ Pro tips: I send all my group tracks on a final mix bus track which I have my Fxs on it like endless smile, filter etc.. + a Fabfilter with fletcher munson curve preset used on dynamic band and spectre by wavefactory to enhance some frequencies (game changer)
In FL Studio: Customized my whole mixer so tracks are routed to the correct groups, and then having some basic EQ and sidechain on my Bass/Leads bus. Makes it quick & easy to make a raw drop idea!
Loveeeee this!! Thanks for adding…Great addition!
this is the best video on creating templates. thank you!
This is SO helpful 🙌🙌 my favorite time saver is an “into space” and a “washout” rack. “Into space” is just a couple delays and a bit of reverb that sound good for putting a song into space that differ from my sends. And washout is just eq/verb to make things seem like they’re fading away for transitions
Yesssss!!! Great ones to have!!
My time saver is to create a sketching track to sketch out piano ideas.
I love that!!
Creating my own custom template was a game changer for my production flow, hell yeah Zack!
♥️ absolutely! once you find that right combination it really does speed up the process! Also allows you to remain creative because you’re not stopping every two seconds
Clutch!!! Thank you kindly 🙏
You’re welcome!! 👊 hope you can put some of it to good use!!
I most certainly will, good sir.@@TheCosmicAcademy
i love using the collections tab in Ableton because it allows you to put exactly what you want in those folders and they are always easy to find!
Yessss!! Love collections!! I’m embarrassed to admit this but for the longest time I thought it was only for plugins 😬 didn’t know you can put anything in those haha
I didn't know Vin Diesel taught Ableton! Subscribed! 😉
If i had a penny for every time I’ve gotten the vin diesel comp, I’d have about $3.74 😂
@@TheCosmicAcademy Lol, I had a feeling I wasn't the first. But, look at it like this: there's FAR WORSE people you could look like. It's a compliment, I hope.
Haha totally 😂 👊
Zack dude, this is amazing man. Thank you
♥️♥️
GOAT! Thx Zack :)
You’re welcome! 👊
Do you have a video on how to create Ableton default channels? If not I would really appreciate a video showing how to set this up. Thank you in advance.
I don’t but it’s easy to explain! Just open up a midi or audio track and load any plugins on. Set them up how you’d like. Then right click the channel (the area where you would rename the channel) and look towards the bottom of the pop up window. You’ll see save default channel! Now everytime you open up a midi or audio channel, it loads that same way.
@@TheCosmicAcademy Awesome! Thank you very much for the reply. Really appreciate it.
all the HW instruments with calculated delay compensation
Niceeeee!!!
Massive video, all these tips make a massive difference & really helps with workflow. Thanks Zack!!
Happy they help!!! Finding that right balance for a template that suits your workflow is huge. Let’s be honest though, you guys already work quicker than 99.9% of producers out there 😂 since the first day I met you haha
@@TheCosmicAcademy agreed! Haha really appreciate that dude, can always improve & wouldn't be at the level we are if it wasn't for you 😎
much love, Zack!
thanks aaron! you got any good things to add to this list? some things to put on a template that work for you?
Yeah, I do! I have all my groups (instruments, basses, drop synths, drums: cymbals, break kick / snare, drop kick / snare & finally FX), my favorite piano & string kontakt libraries loaded up w a blank MIDI set to F minor (recently been loving that key) & some custom racks I made for making ambient pads already loaded in. Comes out to about 40 channels.
I also have the structural markers like you mentioned, automation on the master during my builds only (decrease in volume & stereo width). It’s been working for me these past few months. For the first time since boot camp I’m starting to finish a track in 1-2 weeks now. Feels great.
Loveeeeee it!! That’s what it’s all about. Finding that workflow that works for you!!
What i like to do is map out the structure of the song using empty midi clips with certain sounds loaded on it
So i just have to draw patterns over this 😂😂
A great one!!! It’s funny because I mention this exact tip in my upcoming vid!! ♥️♥️
🔥🔥
♥️♥️
span and vu meter on master with shortcut
A great combo!! 👍
Yes I started using a template. But the one thing I didn’t do was program BPM omg I never noticed that 🎉
So many little things you find along the way! It’s always awesome to see how others work and pick those little things that can help you too! Gotta keep that template evolving!!
Side chain routing lol
Just use Reaper and script the f* out out it.
Have never messed with reaper before!! Gotta check it out
