Template for Recording....I need suggestions please.

[mike_zero_71]

Hello All, Greetings, Salutations....

I use Ableton Live 6 to record my song demos.
I record guitar, bass, drums, synth and vocals.
I DI my guitar and use amp sims VSTs (amplitube, guitar rig, etc).
I DI my bass and use amp sims VSTs(ampeg, etc)
For drums I use EZDrummer and Addictive Drums VSTs.
For synth I use various VSTs

I would like some suggestions for setting up some audio mixing inserts for each track, for example...What kind of EQ or compressors/limiters for drums? for guitars? etc. And any other basic tips to make the demos sound good.

I would like to have a simple set-up that I can use all the time for recording quality demos, so I can spend more time writing and less time mixing/mastering.
If there are any online articles out there, I would be grateful to receive a link.

If it helps any, the music I am writing is kinda like early Cure, Joy Division, Bauhaus.

Thanks for your help!

Hey,

I have a similar requirement. Been using Live for some years now but I would love to see and compare template set ups that others use. Its easy to get templates and Live Packs for electronic stuff with vocal samples perhaps, but I've found it very tricky to find downloads of setups using Ableton for recording vocals and live elements like you mention (guitar etc.)


Hope you had some luck on this. Maybe you might get back to us if you have - I see this thread is now pretty old.
