These Ableton videos are amazing. I didn't know you could send signals pre/post audio effects rack, that's such a game changer!
Thank you for watching! So glad you like the videos! :D
Yup, it opens up a huge world of possibilities for routing! :D
As someone who has just branched into Ableton after years of frustration with Reason workarounds, these videos are immensley helpful. Thank you!
You're very welcome! Thank you for watching and I'm really glad you're finding the video helpful. Loads more on the way! :)
As someone who has branched into Bitwig after years of frustration with Ableton workarounds, I'd recommend you skip all the trouble and I went through and just get started with Bitwig.
@@zyxyuv1650 Both have their place! I'm not amazingly familiar with Bitwig's specifics but I'm of the firm camp of there being no such thing as a 'better' DAW. I'm curious on how Bitwig has a more efficient workflow for parallel processing specifically though! (again I don't really know it suuuuper well) Are you referring to its 'grid' environment?
Thanks a ton!!! Finally found the clear concept video on parallelcompression!!
You're welcome! Glad this video was useful for you. :)
Just wanted to let you know that your ableton videos have been incredibly helpful to me :)
I'm so so glad to hear that! This made my day. 🙏 Thank you for watching and for your support. 😊
This is great! I'm so glad I found this channel
Thank you and welcome! :D
This tutorial clearly explained how to use this parallel compression in addition to adding affects. Clearly explained. Fantastic video. Thank you and keep them coming. Definitely a thumbs up.
Your brain vry big. Mine has expanded just by watching this single video \uwu/
curious if theres a part 2 intermediate-advance ableton course in the works. im tired of searching youtube for tips (and watching/skipping videos that dont answer what im looking for) or randomly learning something new because youtube recommended it. i really like ur approach -- its more applicable and easy to understand.
It's in the works!! It will be a little bit before it is released, but it will be out eventually. The current course might be very beginner friendly but has a lot of stuff in there that I would consider very useful for intermediates! :)
I'm working on plenty of other stuff and in the meantime I do offer 1:1 lessons as well. :)
great video, thank you!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching. :)
You're a fantastic teacher, great video!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed!
This is exactly what i've been looking for. thank you sir
You're welcome!! :)
I almost never comment on videos like this, but truly this was an excellent video. It was comprehensive and detailed, but not bloated with info. It's honestly perfect for learning about the subject matter. 10/10
Thanks so much!! I'm really glad you found the video useful and thank you heaps for the lovely comment. ☺️
THX A LOT!
You're welcome!
Really enjoying your videos, really well ordered and grouped.
So even if some aspects are familiar you covering all options and grouping into videos
is incredibly helpful!
A video about the Chain selector usage and use cases would be nice btw :)
Great stuff for beginner and intermediate level!
Thank you
Thank you for the kind words and thanks for watching the videos! I'm so glad you're enjoying the content. :) Can definitely do a video about the chain selector too.
Thank you man!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching. :)
Super cool video!!
Thank you! Really glad you enjoyed it. :)
awesome videos man
Thank you! :D
damnnnnn... i was making a big mistake by not using audio effect racks this way. I was just grouping my drums and adding effects on the group track and calling it a day. This makes way for more experimental processing without sacrificing the original quality of the drums. SICKKKK... Thank you so much man.
Parallel processing and drums is a match made in Heaven! :D
Glad I was able to help out. Thanks for watching! :)
Hey Matt just wanted to say your videos are a massive helping with really understanding ableton. If possible can you do a video on effects processing racks and instrument racks and when you would use a instrument rack? Thanks in advance with sharing your knowledge 🙏🏻🙏🏻🥇
Hey Mattii! Thanks for watching and I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos! :D
I actually did a video all about racks already. Feel free to check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/F9dSi23XE5g/v-deo.html
so helpful as a logic user switching to ableton!!! your way of teaching is easy to understand and efficient. thank you! instant sub =0
also the pro and con breaks are a great touch to the video format
Super glad this was helpful for you!! Thanks for watching and for the sub. :D
I wish you could color code effect racks.
You can! It just shows up in the chain list, not anywhere else. :)
You can also do this with instrument racks, but effect racks are better for it.
You can also do this by using multiple tracks instead of sends. This way is also more visual and quicker at a glance.
Live is really flexible with how it lets you do things! So many ways to do parallel processing.
You can only do it with instrument racks if you're using a MIDI track, but not an audio track (unless you want to do some crazy routing shenanigans!). And yep, I talked about the multiple tracks in the video, and I love doing parallel processing this way for sure! :D
I love how flexible the routing options in Live are. There are lots of different ways to achieve the same thing and you can really make the software work for you. :)
Thanks for watching!
Which version of ableton are you using in this video please? There are some nice improvements such as oversampling and phaserflanger fx.
This is Ableton Live 11. :)
I think I like FL mixer much better xD ...each plugin slot on a mixer has dry/wet knob...makes life easier.
That really depends! Whilst a D/W for every mixer slot is useful, it does still limit your routing capabilities.
Is it a wise decision on that last version of parallel processing to add a side chain compressor to the audio track linked to the dry signal so that you can have intense fx but the dry signal pops through all the fx stuff going on?
Absolutely, that's a fantastic technique for any sort of parallel processing using a spatial effect like reverb or delay! You can actually do it for any of the different ways of parallel processing shown in this video, the sidechain routing for the compressor will just vary a little bit for each. :)
@@MartilnMusic Awesome! Thank you so much for your awesome video and reply :). Happy Halloween!
hey MArtin.. i got no money 4 a Coffee .. But i wanna say thx !!!
One thing. Summarize.
I love how you just randomly put R's in everything you say. Notr.
This comment confuses me, but thanks for watching!
Better you use your pop filter in the background btw. Too much popping up voices, sibilant consonants... Or compress your own voice to make de-esser effect on it. It's harming our focus on listening to your talking honestly. Unpleasant. Just a feedback.
Appreciate the feedback! The pop filter in the background only attaches to that particular shock mount so I can't use it on the mic I'm using, and I don''t want to use headphones for the videos so I'm sticking to the dynamic mic. I have it off-axis to attempt to reduce the plosives as much as possible, but sometimes I miss the mark on the set up. I also do a small amount of EQ and some moderate compression to help with consistency. Honestly I didn't think this video was that bad, but I appreciate you taking the time! :)
@@MartilnMusic Yeah I normally do not volume down but I had to volume down in your videos to get rid off those harsh spikes. Foam cover would be great imo. You're welcome. Nice contents.
Maybe I was just a bit off the mark with this video! I'll make sure to pay better attention for future videos! 😊
