I’m using analog emulation to saturate everything lightly, it’s has this harmonic effect when distorting lightly that adds color and depth to everything, in the digital world stuff sounds really flat so saturation plug-ins when used with taste give an analog sound. I personally have used Abletons sa...

hi Artcutech 8) Thank you very much for your support !!! :mrgreen: I did according to your explanation And I sent the file I received the following message ———— Unfortunately you still have a limiter on which is distorting the track. It is still brick walled I’m afraid. Have a look at your plugins ...

Thanks guys :)) I read and learn from your reactions and explanations hi Artcutech :)) from you I understand what I should do, thank you, I want to add the information from the Mastering Technician maybe it will shed light and help more --- The reason being, you have delivered a 16B 44.1K file that...

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to pull down a master fader I think I know how you might feel. I love using parallel compression with the pro c2 but only when mastering and i’ve never had better results Great. I never master (for release) as I leave that to people more skilled than me. I get on wit...

…enough headroom which should be at about -3db, The master house/engineer will have an idea on what they might prefer. It might be something else so could be a good idea to ask. …if this is the case select all your tracks that have no automation on the volume and drag them down some, do the same wi...

When you go to export your audio it asks for bit depth, yours might be at 16 bit, you can change it to 24b, I’m not sure if this will make a difference if all the audio has already been recorded(actually prob will) in your arrangement but it might in regards to midi clips and that’s how they want th...

can't seem to see individual core loads in activity monitor, where do I see this? Cmd-2 or in "Window" menu. Turn off app nap for Live in the Finder. also how do I turn off app nap for live in finder? Select Ableton Live 9 and hit Cmd-I and check the box in the info window. Apparently app...

Turn off app nap for Live in the Finder. Hi StromKraft, I've noticed my cpu getting up to 50% in live but barely cracking 5% on activity monitor, can't seem to see individual core loads in activity monitor, where do I see this? also how do I turn off app nap for live in finder? I know there's a pow...

I thought we covered all of this already? Maybe I explain badly. I'll try again. You have recorded a mono signal. Whether this is represented as a dual mono file (2 channels of the same signal at lower volume) on disk or just as a mono file (1 channel) doesn't matter as a dual mono file will null* ...

I'm a little confused now on how I should approach some of my vocal chain plug-ins as I've been using specified mono plug-ins but technically a single wav form is still getting fed into a stereo mixer, and now with the utility gain set to stereo all of my other plugs like Antares(m)Neve 1073 eq (m)...

With regards to your chain, I wouldn't have thought you'd need to change your chain - unless you've got anything in your that turns the mono signal into stereo (like an m/s expander) - which I don't think you do. Someone correct me if I'm wrong! No m/s expander although I do use ozone imager on occ...

Yes 24 bit That’s a good idea as I’ve always hesitated printing a compressor on the inserts in console where unison is and to add any treatment after to maximize flexibility, but in this case it just might be what’s needed, I will have to try it but i don’t think I can put anything before unison onl...

The signal is running trough a stereo track of the mixer, so just leave it at stereo. It's perfectly possible to apply stereo effects to a mono signal, though one can use a the mono setting of Utility to make sure mono is maintained. A Dual Mono file is a stereo file with a mono signal with less vo...

I know Ableton doesn't recognize mono or something like that but when recording into 1 input you get a mono wav form. This vocal take I'm working on gets a lil hot in some areas and I tried evening it out by splitting and leveling clip gain this way as it's nice to see the wav form actually get smal...
