Ableton Forum

not sure how to carry on the cake analogy but i upload a private version on to soundcloud and listen to it for about a week, changing bits i dont like. something about seeing it in a different arena other than ableton seems to help as for me the soundcloud version is what people are actually going t...

thanks. very helpful advice guys and girls. is it worth applying those techniques to my own attempt
( http://soundcloud.com/samirh/2-containers/s-QF9j9 )??? is that a good base to work with or should i just start afresh?

yup yup yup thanks guys. the synths, top end of the bass etc were around the same frequencies as the unimportant part of the claps so were adding up, but only every so often when they all came together (working with a mixture of 3,4,6 bar loops.)

Hi, completely self-taught in terms of production so struggling to work this out: after ive finished arranging my tracks, I use the spectrum on the master track to look at the frequencies to avoid clipping. However, even when the frequencies are below 0db I often notice clipping on the master track....
