move the start marker in the clip, check the manual for more details. Heya, I have the manual but I cannot seem to find the page that describes this. The problem is that the clip loops in time with the other clips. The effect I want is this: bassline -> kick drum -> bassline. If I move the start ma...

Dear Friends, I need some help. I have a MIDI clip that loops perfectly, but it's *always* supposed to start 1/8th before all other loops in my Session View. Here is a screenshot: http://www.mixedinkey.com/temporary/example2.png Is it possible to make one clip always start and loop 1/8th ahead of ot...

"Platinum Notes addresses an important problem faced by DJs and music enthusiasts." What IS this problem, that the tracks they bought don't sound good enough? Yes, many tracks are overcompressed and have some clipping. Many other tracks are too quiet. It's beneficial to "even out&quo...

The pitch thing is clever. But what does it do to a song that changes key slightly half way through? How does it know what needs correcting? It checks if the notes are "on key" -- so they aren't between two different notes. Even if the key changes, PN will adjust the track correctly. Also...

cool. like i siad in the 1st post, i have been relying on presets and my ear so far. but recently i had a project where i had a moog bassline with a drum track. i had some compression on the drum track AND some compression on the Main track. it sounded ok to me, but when i rendered later, i noticed...

Listened to the demo (before and after). Hmmm I'm not sure on that pitching up it does. I have full control of that myself in Live I'm not sure I really want a processor to decide that for me. So I'm guessing that it analyses, figures out the nearest 'key' to the one it's at and then rounds off to ...

Couple of thoughts: Gentle compression is a wonderful technique, but use it carefully -- many dance tracks are compressed too much and don't have good dynamics. When you use compression, check the "average volume" after processing. Tracks with good dynamics have an average volume of around...

Stuff like this scares me. Without sounding like a too much of a dickhead, why would I want automated software adding extra harmonic content to all my mp3s? If I purchase mp3's legitametly, am I not to assume that they have already been professionally mastered (most of the time) on gear worth 10's ...

looks cool, but if you process all the tracks on your hard drive, your also gonna have to re-warp every single last one of them again! it taken me the last 4 years of my life to get them all on there, I don't really wanna do 'em all again. Just copy the warp settings from the old track to the new. ...

Sure, here is the "changing mood" How-To we wrote for our forum: Overview "Energy boost mixing" can create energy on your dance floor. How-To Detect the key of your current song, and pick the next song to be 1 or 2 semitones above it. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikibooks/en/3/38...

Overview Harmonic mixing is based on the idea of mixing harmonically-compatible songs. The standard approach is to detect root notes at the song’s original tempo and find other compatible songs that will fit. However, it is important to understand that changing the tempo of the song will change the...

For the sake of sharing free information, here's a thread about "Energy Boost Mixing", one of the most powerful harmonic mixing techniques. It works really well with Ableton Live and both Shane 54 and Sasha have used it a lot. It's all over "Involver" CDs and Shane's live mixes. ...
