Ableton Forum

Thanks for the responses people, definitely helped clear some things up! :D



Though in the past, I've done what you seem to be trying to do, just get everything as loud as possible to keep the master track out of the red, and everything i put out in that way seems to be too quiet.


Same here ...

Hi,

I am confused about proper mixing techniques in relation to volume levels and headroom and I was hoping I could get some clarification/advice on the matter.

For example, lets say I have 3 tracks in Ableton, DRUMS, BASS and SYNTH.

Where do I want the levels to be on these tracks? Do I want ...

Ok here's the problem.

Whenever I start live the little live loading screen will pop up but after like a second or two it will turn completely white and stop responding. The program does load after about another 30 seconds but I find this really annoying. It also freezes like this when switching ...

I use side chaining in Live 7, mostly for basslines and melodies...

I think that's it's slightly different in 6 but still pretty easy.
I'm pretty sure the guy in this tutorial is using live 6

Thank you!
The second one really helped. I downloaded that VST (Ritual) and I'm almost getting to that sound I love.
'm just using a sawtooth with full cutoff ...

Live does video???? AHAHHaha hahah HAHah ha! good one!
Oh wait you're not joking...

Rob Mikrob,
I bet those drum pads are perfect for that kind of music!
How sensitive are they though? I have some pads on my AKAI MPK49 and you have to really push them in... I think I have to turn the sensitivity up or something.

You've been producing since 2000! Oh my god, keep it up!
Hows that ...

Can I download an Ableton Live 7 project from somebody with a good sounding electro bass?

my studio setup in brazil.

Thank you for the links! I will check them all out and see what i can do...
Anyone make the kind of music I'm talking about?

So only a sawtooth? And then some effects? I tried only a sawtooth and it's not really that sick bass sound. I guess it obviously wont be that easy...
Well I'll keep trying thanks...

I just purchased Live 7 (was working with the demo for a long time...)
and I was wondering how to get that famous electro house bass.
Think of Benassi, Global Deejays, Wolfgang Gartner, Swen Weber, Deadmau5, etc
That dark gritty bassline. I know that it's easily possible in Live and I've seen ...
