      This is what I think! I started my adverture at eletronic music making in Abelton and have something in mind: Just search for plug-ins if it's hard or not possible to do with stock plug-ins.
      Btw. It's been helping me to learn sound design, I can figure it out what each fx, config does to each sound, opening me paths to construct unique sounds

  • @patcupo
    @patcupo 3 роки тому +34

    Great video! I've always thought Live's guitar effects were overlooked. An additional tip: you can place effects between the amp and cab to replicate the send/return feature of some amps, series/parallel/dry-wet/whatever. I like to place modulation and time-based things in there, and then do as you did with a room reverb but with M4L Convolution Reverb. Great for guitar, just alright for bass. However, you can make some cool bass rigs though by combining the bass amp/cab and a couple guitar amps/cabs all in parallel.
