    Ethan after watching about 300 videos on music production, I can definitely say that you are at the top 3 tutors, to make something simple for others to understand.

    I thought you seemed rather pretentious at first, but then I realized that you are a very skilled teacher and music producer. I’ve never learned through a “chill” teacher in my 16 years in culinary. So I appreciate your directness and focus, and you talking to me like I am ignorant… because I was, but now I can transition from garage band and BandLab on iphone to Ableton live seamlessly. I took many notes and working on my new ep. Thank you for being cocky and good. Also for free. Jesus.

    I've discovered your channel only few days ago and I bet you must be very soon in the top recommended producers on UA-cam. It's a true pleasure, your content is very relevant and dense, always inspiring and you do it in a very humble and genuine way. It also invited to discover your music universe. Many thanks.

    Ethan I’m new to this whole space and your videos are incredibly helpful. I’m wondering if you’d ever want to post a video running through your favorite or most used plugins. Ableton does have plenty of good options but I just don’t know where to start when it comes to plug ins, especially for vocals

    Quick question: Do you have to convert midi to waveform after mixing them?

    Do you not put +6db on the master to allow headroom when mixing down?
    Do you not low cut on the reverb to prevent muddiness and does it matter the order of eq and reverb?

    Hi you mention to use drive or saturation to bring out more harmonics in the bass, so it helps it to be heard on smaller speakers.....does that also work on the kick...as I'm having a lot of trouble to get my kick to come through on my phone speaker...sometimes it just doesn't sound like it's there at all, while other times its just a clicky sound....🤯

    Hello, when I use sound trap, I feel like I’m accomplishing what I want to with the beat I’m making but at times don’t feel like it makes sense and get frustrated. Thinking about making the switch to ableton but still unsure

  • @bartvyvey
    @bartvyvey 3 місяці тому

    @Ethan Davis I don't understand how you make the B Bass go along with the kick. Your first kick starts at 1.1, your second at 2.2.
    Yet both bars for the B Bass start at x.1. If I do that then my second bass plays before the second kick. The only way I get it to work is by shifting the second bass to also start at 2.2 (which is something you clearly do not do)...
    So what am I missing here? Thanks in advance.

    I'm coming from FL Studio and this way of working is so different. It looks more like using Audacity just dragging waveforms to create your beat. The session view is also convusing. Have to watch a view more tutorials i guess. I hope I made the right choice switching to Ableton.
