Re: Constructive feedback request - mix of Pyramid Song electronic cover

Thanks, I do have some side chain on the synths from the vocals, but I think also perhaps I have to much spatial effects on the vocals as well.

Constructive feedback request - mix of Pyramid Song electronic cover

Hey all, Looking for some constructive criticism on this mix, in order for me to improve. It's a reworking of Radiohead's Pyramid Song. Vocals are by me; ideally could be done by someone with a nicer voice.... but maybe that's just me, but I've tidied them up a shade with the Waves Tune plugin. http...

Re: Why can't I see an automation lane for this track?

If you select "mixer" for automation (the two boxes under the track name on the right) and "track volume" does it appear as normal?

Routing external effects with a Scarlett 18i8

I recently switched to a Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 to replace my old edirol ua1000 which doesn't work with Catalina. Everything works fine with the exception of trying to work out exactly how to set up the routing for my FMR RNC using external effects. I use the RNC on the master bus, so I have create...

Re: Push 1 vs Push 2

The video was helpful, thanks. The colour coding does look useful along with the display; though I currently do tend to blend looking at the push and laptop screen.

With the resell value of a push 1, have to decide whether the upgrade is worth it!

Link notes so they are all affected by the same chance setting, and have option and/or chance settings

I'm loving the new feature for adding random chance that a note will play. However, it would be amazing if groups of notes could be affected by a single chance parameter, so that an entire phrase or fill would play or not based on the chance. In addition to this, having the option to set an either/o...

Push 1 vs Push 2

I'm sure there are posts here for this, but searching for them is a bit tricky with they keyword Push! I currently have a Push 1, and I was wondering how much better/what additional features Push 2 has over and above the first gen? Links for reading etc most welcome along with personal views and opi...

Re: Linking multiple notes to have the same chance in Live 11

Ah no worries, I probably didn't make myself clear. Might try logging it as a feature request in that case, would be a pretty cool feature.

Re: Linking multiple notes to have the same chance in Live 11

Does that definitely tie the notes together? E.g. if I have four notes all at 50% chance, will they all play or none play 50% of the time? I thought that they each individually would play 50% of the time by doing that?

Linking multiple notes to have the same chance in Live 11

With the new feature in Live 11 to add a chance for each note, is there anyway to link notes together so that they all play or don't play with the same chance? At the moment I'm using the feature on some drum parts, and setting ghost notes/flams etc with having a less than 100% chance to give the pa...

Ableton 11 - Remote Script to assign all 16 macros

Hi all, Is it yet possible to create a remote script to assign encoders 9-16 following upgrading to Live 11? I have a script for my Native Instruments A25, which maps the first bank of 8 encoders (CC14-21) to macros 1-8, but amending as follows doesn't seem to work for the next bank of 8 (CC22-29). ...

Re: Collab with newbie? - progressive, melodic, trance

I wouldn't over think it, you have a finished track! The Ableton book 74 Creative Idea is available still here https://www.ableton.com/en/blog/ideas-offers-making-music-home/ and there are some sections in there that I find useful, particularly on finishing (which is my main problem). Essentially, t...

Re: Collab with newbie? - progressive, melodic, trance

Hey there, I'm probably in a similar position, though time restraints probably mean I can't actively collaborate much! In my opinion there's a lot to be said for working withing the limitations of Live Intro, though I think the limited number of scenes would end up bugging me. On your track, haven't...

Re: Accidentally made some happy music...

Ah ok, it definitely brought my attention to the noise, so if that's the intention with the gate then it worked! I'm struggling to do much recording of samples at the moment because one of the fans on my laptop has got a dodgy bearing and emitting a right load of clatter. Waiting for a replacement, ...

Re: Accidentally made some happy music...

...now I feel all dirty :wink: https://soundcloud.com/thetiredhorizon/freedom-flows-grubby-guitar-remixed The guitar sample at the start is really noisy, which started getting a bit distracting, especially with the gating/cuts in place with the sample. Otherwise, I like what you're doing with this!
