This is an amazing tutorial. -It's simple and easy to follow. -It goes through the whole process without any "and then mix the rest of it" time skips. -Uses almost only stock plugins. -When a non-stock plugin is called for, it's a free plugin and a download link is provided in the description. 10/10 would recommend
Thank you! I appreciate the straightforward instructions. I now know which Ableton devices I need to learn more about in order to edit audio, whereas before I was staring down the entire list of devices.
Thank you SO much for this clear + concise tutorial for mixing + optimizing Voice Over audio! Incredibly helpful and I *love* your clear / mid-high happy sound quality (vs the 'boom-y' /muffled podcast sound that seems to be on trend, lol) - I will be tuning in for more!

This is an excellent tutorial - thank you! I use Ableton for music but have been trialling Adobe, Reaper, Acon etc because I wasn't sure Ableton was suitable for professional voiceover/narration work. You've demonstrated anything is possible. I'm looking forward to giving it a go. Your recording sounds great!
Thank you for this video, I've been looking all over UA-cam for a concise tutorial on mixing podcasts in Ableton and this is it. Up till now I've been doing everything in Audacity and have learned how to mix in that without really knowing what I'm doing and just using Compressor, Filter Curve, Noise reduction and Normalize effects. I can see the power of Ableton but you have to know a thing or two about what you're actually doing. Being able to EQ sweep is so nice to have. Gonna stick at using Live for my podcast and going to check out more of your vids.
This video is brilliant, thank you so much for saying. Subbed, hope you do more similar content for Ableton mixing/mastering & podcast vox in the future.
Great video, and I have a couple of questions: Why is your normalize option off when rendering/exporting. And what about a de-esser? I thought these were standard for spoken word recordings. Thanks :)
This was clear and helpful. Thanks for sharing. On your final step with the YouLean Loudness Meter, I couldn't tell what you were doing to adjust the LUFS. I don't see an amplitude adjustment in the YouLean panel. How do you do it?
Great video really helped me out. Quick problem, when I drag my audio some of it sounds like it’s been stretched or slowed down. I think it’s the sampler
Thank you for making this. How do you record your audio to start? Using a program or zoom recorder? I have to batch record a series of tutorials and learning the best way to do so. I have a SM7B and 2i2, as well as a Zoom H6.
I would just chop out the audio between phrases, if the noise is really loud it might sound a bit weird. When I edit podcasts I usually chop out loud breathing noises between words but this only works when recorded in a reasonable quiet scenario, if there is too much background noise the best you can do is maybe some Volume automation to dip the background noise or a noise gate maybe! how loud is the fan?
The noise gate was clipping the beginnings of my words no matte what settings I used. I had already run my recording through the noise reduction feature of Audacity before uploading it to Ableton. Does that make sense as a solution? My breaths were audible in Ableton whether the gate was on or off.
How do u avoid mouse clicks and keyboard touch? I’m getting mad with my Rode NT-USB.. is it because of the micro technology? Too much sensitive? I need to voiceover for a music masterclass ...
I did a bit of research for you and it appears the gate plugin is not included with live lite, only standard and suite. You might be able to find a free gate plugin from this blog post bedroomproducersblog.com/2012/01/17/bpb-freeware-studio-best-free-noise-gate-vstau-plugins/
I think you need standard version for all the plugins I use in this tutorial, however you could do something similar with the channel EQ and Compressor which are both available in Live Lite.
any tips on how to record voice over while music is playing in my studio? i mean, i can easily record with desktop audio in OBS, but what if i want to be able to be live in the studio, while teaching and talking in my mic? is this possible to have only the sound of my voice while music is playing inside my room? because i just want to record clean desktop audio from Live, AND my voice over from the studio while sound is coming from my monitors... i hope i'm clear, sorry i'm french... :)
The only easy solution to this that I do is to record my tutorials with my headphones on. That way I can hear the computer audio through the headphones and the only sound in the studio room is my own voice. I use ScreenCast which I think is mac only software, similar to OBS

I looked for 2 weeks for a video on this exact process of VO in Ableton. Thank you for this easy to follow video! Well done!

2 years later and you helped me out here thanks man
Glad I could help
I don't usually comment, but this was unbelievably helpful and very clearly explained/demonstrated, thank you!
Hi great video. Can you do a video about how you capture your audio output from your DAW? Pretty hard to figure out how to route that.
Would be nice if some one also explained what each thing does and why they do it.

make sure you have warp mode turned off :)
@@Sheidow yep, double click on the audio clip and de-select warp mode.
Awesome tutorial. Really helpful and easy to follow.

great video. thanks!
This was very helpful! Thank you for making this video. Great Tutorial!
All good 👍
Awesome tutorial, thanks for this, gonna give this a try on my podcast.
nice one 👍
Thank you for sharing this. Really clear and helpful 👍
Thanks Jake, much appreciated.
what do i do with the plug in once it's downloaded
Great video, are you able to show how you would clean up audio from fan noise with the same process?
I would just chop out the audio between phrases, if the noise is really loud it might sound a bit weird. When I edit podcasts I usually chop out loud breathing noises between words but this only works when recorded in a reasonable quiet scenario, if there is too much background noise the best you can do is maybe some Volume automation to dip the background noise or a noise gate maybe! how loud is the fan?
Does this work for vocals on songs
Great and useful! Thank you!
gracias amigo
This was clutch thank you very much. Only critique is that you were mixing your own voice and it was tough to know which "you" was talking, lol.
Hi , what sound card and mic are you using please ?
Hi this was very helpfull! Can i ask what does the glue compressor is for? Is it to bring down the peaks?
thank you! this was really helpful!
Glad I could help 👍

Very helpful, thankyou!!
thank you :=)
Hi. Just wondering if the noise gate/reduction have them on ableton live 10 lite?
I'm also interested, I didn't find it :/
Ableton Live Lite should have the Gate and Compressor. The only things it doesn't have are EQ Eight and the Glue Compressor.
Thanks for this my friend.
no problemo 👍
excellent tips dude tanks
Very useful video, thank you so much. #podcast #diyaudio #spokenword
the two identical voices are confusing me lol
lol yeah, same mic, same room
great video!

sir, I can't find GATE in my ableton live 10 lite, help me please

@@StudioHacks thank you very much sir
thank you so much
No Problemo 👍
Hi, can this be made also with Ableton Live Lite ?
I think you need standard version for all the plugins I use in this tutorial, however you could do something similar with the channel EQ and Compressor which are both available in Live Lite.
With all due respect man, you need to increase the font size on this. I be here with a dang monocle and can't see this stuff

Great tips but ads every 2-4 minutes makes this quite a slog to get through...
It's confusing when are you listening to when are you taking to us...😅😅
The image is so poor, it's not possible to see what you're doing :/
to stat
cool video, you're just missing a little deessing :P
