Ableton Forum

Hey Everyone, For several months now, I have been noticing, both when producing in Ableton AND general computer use (internet, Movies, etc.), that the audio will drop out for a split second. It hasn't affected my music production, but with a new podcast, I have seen some issues. While recording one ...

Hey guys, Here are two tracks I just finished up, one is more electronic, and the other one is straight hip-hop. I've been focusing on trying to get better with the EQ and wondering if you could give me a few pointers. In the electronic track 'The Damage is Done', I need to take down her levels in t...

Hey, just gave your track a little listen. Great work on that! I love all the little nuances that you added in there, and the groove is pretty sweet. In the beginning I wanted the snare to hit and snap a little harder, but once it got into the second half when the strings come in, it was perfect. Ke...

Nice vibe you got going on! Vocals need to be a little louder. At 1min the new synth that comes in is too loud. It actually made me jump a bit. Ahahah. This is not poorly mixed at all. It could use some more careful eq'ing though. One thing to do with an eq on vocals is add some brightness from 10k...

What are some tips on getting the vocals to come through during the chorus section? I'm fairly new to adding vocals into a mix, and EQing in general. I EQed a little bit using EQ 8, but if anyone has some more tips and tricks, I'd love to hear some different ways people tweak their sounds.

Thanks!

Anyone picking up on that 'Random Access Memory' feel?

Hey everyone, Here's another track from FastTwitch! This was a Daft Punk-inspired track after their latest album, but I was LUCKY enough to get a female friend of mine to lay down some vocals. Tell me what you think, and as always, feedback is always appreciated! https://soundcloud.com/fasttwitch/pe...

Nice work on this track. I really like the chime-like lead you have opening the track up. Keep up the good work man!

Hey there, I had some time this last weekend to play with an idea, and although it's still unfinished, I think you will enjoy how the track is coming together. I'm hoping to have a friend of mine add some female vocals to really bring it to life! As always, I'm eager to hear any thoughts, critiques,...

Ahhh, yes. Changing the VST folder did just the trick. So simple! Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it.

Hey Everyone, I have been working with Ableton Live 8 for some months now and wanted to expand my sample library a bit so I picked up Komplete 9 Ultimate. I got it all loaded on my computer and am having a hard time figuring out how to 1.) Use my MIDI controller (Akai MPK49) to control Kontact 5 (I ...

Hey everyone, this is the track I came up with today. I'm happy with the progress of it, but I'd love to hear your feedback.

My latest track, "The Heat" - FastTwitch, has a laid back hip hop feel. I'm hoping to put some lyrics over the whole thing. Feedback is welcomed!

Sounds cool, I like the switch up in the first 1/3 of the track. Did you chap those samples and create the roll effects on the snare yourself? They sound clean and tight.

I really liked how this one started out. Both the guitar samples (not sure if you played or sampled. Either way it's nice and smooth) and the vocals worked well together.
