Thanks for the support man, yea I live in Lakeview (kinda near Cubs stadium..).

my e-mail is brad@illuzionrecords.com if you want to hit me up man

I've read the tarekith mastering, very helpful. Thanks for the feedback, my general question is that it doesn't really matter what your master bus is, as long as it's not clipping? I understand raising volume levels on monitors, my issue I'm using two Yamaha 5's (on pads) in a small room with only a...

Hello, I know this has been posted on many occasions. I've read countless things, produced for 7+ years and always done my own mastering. My problem arises that I've always (in my mind) blended the mixing and mastering phases, while I kept them separate, I always seemed to be doing things in the mix...

Let me know what you guys think.

I accidentally installed a PC version of a VST and now every time I load up Live it crashes and won't get past the scan screen. It is attempted to load the VST's on the VST scan when Live starts, however due to the programs now being proper format they are not allowing live to open. I am unable to o...

I know this has been brought up before, but I have been exploring various sidechaining techniques within Ableton Live (I have Full Live 8) and I am looking for some thoughts on what I am currently doing and looking for suggestions on how to sidechain the 'correct' way... I am using Full Ableton Live...

i have started using a new method of sidechaining that may be useful.. create and audio channel, set it as 'in' with the in/out and then with the audio 'from' channel set your kick channel (or whatever you want your sound sidechained too..). Next, place a compressor on the 'audio' channel and then w...

thanks for all the comments + feedback, it means a lot.

rave, you are entitled to your opinion, but make sure you have the facts right before you go and make more presumptions..

I recently upgraded (for christmas) to full Live 8 as well as got my hands on Izotope Ozone 4 as well as the Waves main bundle.. not cheap ;) I am looking to master my own productions that I am creating in Ableton Live 8 (not suite). I have a few solid plug-ins (nexus, Massive, FM8, Gladiator, Elect...

whats up, i have some new plugins (nexus, gladiator, electrax, warmverb (by tone2), massive, fm8) and am looking to make some laidback luke style sine bleepy/bloopy electro synths and am looking for some tips on how to properly get that sound.. i have played with turning up the attack which causes a...

Was looking to see if anyone has any resources that offer free VST's/Plug-ins. I recently upgraded to full Live 8 (not suite) and use a few plug-ins (Nexus, Gladiator, FM8, Massive and Absynth 4) and am looking to see if there are any quality free plug-ins out there that anyone might suggest using/t...

Your description pretty much nailed it. Although if you are using the compressor that comes with Live it is more flexible to add a new side chain compressor to each track you wish to duck. If using a 3rd party side chain compressor it can be set up by doing the following: Set up one audio track as ...

great info so far, but what about using the in/out in ableton to set up a audio channel as your sidechain channel and then sending the other channels (you want to duck) into that sidechain channel which has a compressor. i saw a tutorial on it and am still slightly unclear how it is properly done.. ...

first time doing any form of 're-make', would love some feedback from the ableton community..

I am using Full Live version 8 and recently discovered 'groups' and am curious how some of you use this feature. Is it wise to group up your drums? Also, if you do any pointers as to how I should run my sidechain channel? Should I double the Kick channel and mute the one channel and use that as my S...
