go into your piano roll of whatever midi instrument you are using, and switch the groove to "Swing 16". Then go up to the swing box next to the BPM indicator in the top left of ableton and raise it to your preference.

cool edit

ghetto what what

I like to wait to dither until the final mixdown.

In my case, I render the track in Ableton with 24bit depth and dithering off. Further, I do not try to optimize levels in any way while in Ableton; I just try to make a mix that sounds nice, and I leave plenty of headroom for processing at the ...

I made a 32/96 source file and then re-imported it back into appleton life to master it and dither it down to 16/96 with normalization

No-one should be clipping the master buss by +6dB, even listening in 32 bit float, it's a bad habit. Using normalisation has sonic consequences too, it's better to just turn your faders down so you're not clipping, IMHO

People in general need to learn to turn things down, leave proper headroom for ...

That's a very useful diagram. I don't normalize anything I export because I just don't like the idea of added noise to anything I've worked on. I never put any of the levels anywhere near the red lines, either. I keep everything about 60-70% volume, until I'm going into post-production. Then, I'm ...

I have more to say on this subject - first of all:

On my sub bass, I put the hi cutoff at anywhere from 150khz to 300khz. On my hi-end bass sound, I put the low cutoff at anywhere from 300khz to 1000khz.

What? Did you mix your words up here or do you really mean to say you hi-pass bass @ 1k ...

thanks for the tips guys

I'm definitely filtering my sub and hi-end bass sounds for sure. On my sub bass, I put the hi cutoff at anywhere from 150khz to 300khz. On my hi-end bass sound, I put the low cutoff at anywhere from 300khz to 1000khz. I have a fairly good knowledge of balancing the ...

Also, like leeds said, it could be clipping - check out SSL's X-ISM & see if your tracks have inter-sample distortion going on. I recommend reading up on gain-staging even if this isn't the problem


I appreciate the help, levi, but how the hell does this thing work? lol

It goes on and on abot ...

This issue is driving me insane on my own projects.

With respect to the other thread that discusses this, it didn't necessarily help resolve the problem for me, other than the idea to totally bypass live's dithering process and instead just rip what's playing in my arrangment view to a cd via my ...

After all this help from you guys (which is IMMENSLY appreciated), my worst fears have come true in realizing that it is indeed vista that is screwing up my whole system.

It really sucks, too, because I invested thousands of dollars in buying what I thought would be the best laptop, midi ...
