Mashin

Post by drush » Mon Apr 06, 2009 4:33 pm

this has probably been discussed a few hundred times but a Search yielded me either discussions about legality or posts about completed tracks

so, tbh, i almost never use the Arrangement view. all my productions are recorded on the fly. the spontaneous, not-really-planned aspect of Live is what brought me to the app 6 versions ago. i never could stand linear sequencers.

from a ~dj perspective, i have two tracks that i've gotten into the habit of *always* playing together. i've gotten pretty good at kicking the one off to where it's going to do what i want it to do in relation to the other. but obviously re-recording them together as a single mashed track would be better.

anyone care to give me a Top 5 Tips for doing this kind of thing? i think i can probably do it... just trying avoid newb path mistakes.

Yeah

This is exact where I'm at in my Ableton Experience

Ok try this

well first remember to do what sounds good to your ears

I love to play a Lyrical Track over an Instrumental one

OK play a track (usally the instrumental one) regualar

and then create a Spread Panner to play the Lyrical one

This entales a few Audio Rack FX's nested inside one another

First Rack creat two chains and with EQs separate the Bass from the Mid/Hi Freq

Next Rack in the Mid/Hi Freq create two chains one left and one right. I use the left to put a 9 - 10 millisecond delay.

I do this with a filter delay. There are a few way to do this, remember every Mash up will call for something different. My fav is turn the left and the right off so only the combo L+R is playing turn the filter off and set the sync to time. set the millisenconds to taste and that the basics

I F-ing love it but I do do all this in Arrangement view.

See what you think
