I would presume that is correct also. Just double check by choosing 3/4 onm your master out for ableton. If that doesnt work I am stumped. My connectiv works fine with ableton. Make sure you have the lastest drivers downloaded from maudio.

make sure that if you have your phono cables set to output 3/4 that you are routing audio out of this channel in live. Click on the 'I/O' button in the session view and change the master out to 3/4. (if you are using this channel otherwise it will be 1/2).

Great. I want to get into programming max so i can figure theses problems out but I want to spend the time making the music not programming. There just isnt enough hours in the week! Cheers guys.

Hoffman. Thanks I wasnt sure when reading the description that it could do that.

I have a problem I would like to solve and I was wondering weather it is possible to acheive using max4live.

I have my project set up where the first two tracks are full tracks and other clips from full finished tracks. The other tracks in my set are other clips such as vocals beats loops etc. I ...

Tarekith I know you said you area busy man but if i post a couple of tracks when i get home that are of the loudness I am trying to acheive will you just tell me how 'smashed' they are in terms of mastering?

Thinking about that youtube probably isnt a good way to give views on a master...

I think for must club music that the main house guys are putting out the RMS levels are around 10-8db. Dont quote me on that tho!

Lots of reply here!

I understand the importance of leaving headroom for the mastering engineer to work with. I try and make my tracks peak at -6 db. Also your tutorials tarekith are great!

I think what i am trying to understand here after completing my last track having it peak at -6db and then ...

I have finished a couple projects now that I feel happy with. I have done lots and lots of reading on mastering. I realise that it is better to have a professional master your tracks but for the time being it is something i would like to do myself. These arent going to be released by any labels they ...

Cheers guys i will give these a try on my next track!

you should also consider the use of Transient Designers. they give you independent control over the attack and the sustain phases of the audio signal passing through.

very easy to use and very efficient for your purpose. check the following:

1. Transient Designer from SPL
2. TransGainer from ...

you teach me well tarekith!

cheers tarekith. I have read all of your tutorials they are really good!

So far if i am understanding correctly. If i wanted to tame the sharp spike of a hit but also keep some of the click and bring up the rest of the signal i would probably use somewhere aroung the following settings:-

attack ...

Orite i thought that was the case. How would you go about then bringing up in volume the body of a drum hit whilst keeping the intial click intact?

I understand that the make up gain is the last stage in the compressors chain. Does however increasing the the make up increase the transients aswell as the compressed signal or does it only increase the compressed signal therefore allowing any singal before the set attack time through the ...

I have been digging quite deep into the theory behind compressors and using them on my audio signals. One thing i was wondering and i presume this could possibly vary between compressors is the attack and make up settings.

If you run a snare drum for example through the compressor and set the ...
