One thing with the stock Ableton compressor that's really useful to know as early in your production as possible - turn off the auto makeup gain in the top right corner. For everyone who doesn't have a concrete understanding of how a compressor works, this little button is going to make it a lot harder to really 'get' what it's doing because every time you lower the threshold, the track gets magically louder and subconsciously perceived as sounding better.
I'm loving this, thank you. I've recreated my own version as closely as possible and re-saved a dozen times until I got the defaults right haha, but I realized... there's no Delay, Auto Filter, or Utility. In your other videos you discuss these in detail. Maybe these would make a nice second audio effects rack? Would it hinder me to have two racks on every default track? btw, thanks again for the Beatmakers Bootcamp. After submitting my song, I was so inspired by you and the other participants that I made TWO other songs. I got an idea for, and started making an album! I make music every night, now, or at least I work on a song every night. It feels SO GOOD. It feels like my heart is singing every night and I go to bed happy and I've never had that happen with such regularity. THANK YOU
I always feel that mapping effects to knobs on effects racks actually makes me use my ears more as well, as opposed to just visually inputting values; in the same way that you use your ears more with hardware!
I feel like effect racks / instrument racks with macro controls is one of the best things about Ableton. I am trying to build a bank of different effect racks from RUclips tutorials I've seen for achieving certain sounds.
I'm just starting my journey to learning how to produce/mess around with creating music and you've been my main resource so far. Excellent content and easy to follow. Great job dude.
Thank you, Taetro, for showing what can be done with out of the box plugins. I often feel overwhelmed when tutorials show bunch of paid plugins instead of explaining how something can be done with Ableton's ones!
love this as a starting point for tracks. very helpful and you really do a great job of explaining and sampling the work. Thanks for creating this series
Thanks for this. I really like your out of the box approach to things. Would be really interesting to see a video on common-use racks you have for the main drum group
Found the video very informative; it did a good job of defining exactly how to create a processing rack and explained the concepts behind each audio effects device. Naturally, it does take a bit of practice, but video was very helpful. Thanks.
thank you! great tutorial, I could replicate everything - but for some reason when I map the Gain for 4 to my 5th Macro Controller: the EQ (4) is not reacting ... seems like a bug? I am clueless
okay, this video made me finally join :) I think I am gonna definitely overuse the compressor trick with the kick...it sounds SO COOL.and now having all in this custom audio effects rack makes Logic Pro a (temporary) joke :) I've been a long time logic user until I got the MPK mini Mk3 controller...and the only tutorials that made sense were on this channel...but, using Live. So, here I am a Live enthusiastic beginner :)..Thank you!
Add it to a track and then save that (by right clicking on it) as your "default" audio or midi track, when you load a new track it'll have the rack, and whatever else you want on it.
Really useful video like always ! I just have a question, why map the high boost on the 4th point gain and not on the 8th point resonnance as you did for the low boost ?
Good point. I’m working on an updated version of this. I think being able to lift a wider range of highs vs a more targeted resonance is what I’m looking for hence the decision there
@@Taetro Looking forward to seeing the updated version. Great channel TAETRO! Quick question about the updated version, are you still using the original Compressor or have you switched over to 12's Glue Comp? If not, I'm interested in hearing your thoughts about why not, etc. Cheers!
Really helpfull thank you! Love all your videos (defintly with guitar) did u use the rack at the master or do u use a sepperet rack for every channel? Keep the vids coming bro!
Very clear tutorial, I think you're really the best. Thanks a lot! Do you think this kind of setup is ok even for a live performance? Or I should keep it lighter than that? P.s. I missed the "one" At the end of your typical "Have a good one" ending phrase once I rewound I figured out it's been accidentally cut lol
Hey there! You can see how much latency an effect rack is adding in Ableton by mousing over it (the number shows up in the lower left corner) This rack is probably super low
Hey :-) thx for the video ! No delay in your rack, you add it separately if you need to right ? Also have you tried Pigments (now mpe compatible) with your roli what do you think about it ? :)
No delay in this one, this is for just very basic editing. I generally use delay as a return track I didn’t know that about pigments but I’ll check it out!!
can i get/download this audio effect track that you use frecuently in all your videos? do you sell It? are they on your discord or something? could you offer to your followers as a very helpfull tool for ableton beginners Users? thank you, Taetro
I think you mismatched the decay and dry/wet aswell as the highcut and low cut when naming them, great video though i've got your rack copied verbatim, now i just need to learn how to use the compressor.
Another great video with excellent information. I was a little disappointed in the audio quality of this particular video. Usually don't have to turn your videos up as they are usually spot on. I love your content but audio levels are the #1 reason I stop watching channels. It is not cool to have to be adjusting my volume all the time.

any chance to listen to it? sounds rly nice ^^
After months of putting it off I've finally gotten around to making my own effects rack! Thanks for the tutorial Taetro 🔥✌🏽
I always feel that mapping effects to knobs on effects racks actually makes me use my ears more as well, as opposed to just visually inputting values; in the same way that you use your ears more with hardware!
I hate visual. Nobody ever did that years ago. Just VU meters
Forever grateful for your content!! Good work
Much appreciated!

Awesome, thank you Mark!
damn, the studios coming together. nice one!
Slowly but surely!
Thanks for your instrucrions and videos.
This is super helpful! (I have tons of learning to do in Ableton). Thank you!
Smooth!!! I just created a rack similar to yours (with my adjustments of course). Your instructions worked liked a charm. 🤜🤛
Can we please get more videos like this? Bc of this new rack I’m using it on most of my tracks and it’s very helpful.
could you make a whole series on effects racks that everyone should have and a tutorial on how to make them plz?
Taetro Thanks a lot for the "2 month free trial of Skillshare Premium Membership" and all content that you made! Great job!!!
I'm glad you were able to use it :)
Dude! So sick! I’m totally gonna dive in and make my own audio rack. Appreciate you
These can hopefully make you less sick lol
Woah, That was Incredible. Thank you so much. Loved the wave lights 💙
Glad you enjoyed Delirium!
super helpful
thank you! great tutorial, I could replicate everything - but for some reason when I map the Gain for 4 to my 5th Macro Controller: the EQ (4) is not reacting ... seems like a bug? I am clueless
Very helpful & simple. Super neat the way you have the video & the colors too. :) Legit setup bro!
glad you enjoyed! 😀
thanks for making this video, this is so useful! also love your new studio, the blue light looks really cool
I’m glad it was helpful Ananas! Setup is going to get better and better
This is very useful tutorial ... it will definitely implemented in my workflow
fantastic!
Great ideas! Thanks

welcome to the party!!
Thanks a lot .. like how you explain everything
Awesome Nick... how do you make it load on every new track? Did you make an Option.txt command? (if so what is the command?)
Add it to a track and then save that (by right clicking on it) as your "default" audio or midi track, when you load a new track it'll have the rack, and whatever else you want on it.
I didn't you could change the colors of the macros...nice!
Thanks for the video! Excited to try this out
thank you so much for your videos you're an amazing help
dude thank you! You're amazing!
Thanks Paolo !!
This was great - very helpful tip I never knew about
good to hear!
so simple, yet so useful. Thanks for the great tutorial.
Thanks Ricky!
So helpful thank you! Setup Is looking class already! 🙌🔥
Thanks you Snare Drum 🥁
Can you use that same setup for midi to ?
AMAZING! THNX!
Thank you for this video, I learned a lot from it.
So helpful! I'm going to create my own now!
thanks for watching Simon!
Thanks so much for this
Wooo glad it helped Dante!
Ayyy whatup Dante!
@@brunch.909 my guy 🖤
This was very helpful, thanks a lot!! :D
Glad it helped!
that was actually super insightful thank you!
thank you Felix!
Do effect racks 'parallel process' your tracks? also is it the same as adding one plugin after the other
Not parallel processing no, and yes a rack is like putting them one after the other but containing them in a rack for advantages like macro knobs
my men i cant wait to get my lauchpad !!!
TAETRO YOU ARE AWESOME
Woooo!! 🎉
@@Taetro LOVE YOU SO MUCH KEEP MAKING THIS SICK MUSIC !!!
Really useful video like always !

yes finally
THANK YOU
Just for you capple
Awesome idea! Will try to replicate this in my DAW when I get to that point! Looks very efficient! Oh, and does the duck have a name? lmao ;p
can we download the rack?
Great for workflow!
Appreciate it William!
How does it automatically load whenever you make a track though?
Really helpfull thank you! Love all your videos (defintly with guitar) did u use the rack at the master or do u use a sepperet rack for every channel? Keep the vids coming bro!
Thanks Bart! I put this track as default on each track not on the master
@@Taetro thank you brother for the fast repply. Keep doing what you do. You are a insporation for me🧡
Sweet! Thanks!
thank YOU for watching

Hey there!
You can see how much latency an effect rack is adding in Ableton by mousing over it (the number shows up in the lower left corner) This rack is probably super low
Dope vid but why won’t it open up saved when I close it? Goes back to default empty
Should I be using ableton push to make my beats instead of maschine?
are you having fun with maschine? are you trying to learn ableton more? all questions you've gotta ask yourself
@@Taetro i never used Ableton. I used Cubase back in 99. Maschine is nice and Im used to it but Ableton seams like it gives you more control.
@@ryanashing7139 yes
How did you made it load automatically when adding a new track? Is it something in settings that we need to change?
Right click on the track -> set as default audio/midi track
@@Taetro oh 🤦🏻♂️. That was easy lol. Thanks
thank you , You are the BEST. Wow
Appreciate it Pawel!
That's awesome!
That's how you created your repeater rack you once showed?
Yes! Maybe I should do a similar video on that one!
@@Taetro that would be great! 😄

You can make it following the instructions in this video
Awesome tutorial man! Now how do you get it to load up with new audio/midi tracks? 😁
Keep it up man. Yo shit is fire!!
Right click on the track, last option at the bottom is ‘save as default’
Loved It!
Thanks Tygo!
I think you mismatched the decay and dry/wet aswell as the highcut and low cut when naming them, great video though i've got your rack copied verbatim, now i just need to learn how to use the compressor.
How do you get Ableton to automatically add the effect rack?
Default template. He covered it in a prior video. Super useful and I'm glad he did this follow up.
Actually you can do this by right clicking on a track and selecting ‘set as default...’
thanks, that’s super useful
Nice tutorial but after I saved it, its not automatically loading this rack into my MIDI/Audiio track. Don´t know why...
Create a new midi track, add the audio effect rack to it then right click the track title>save as default midi track. Same process for an audio track.
it's rude to wear a hat indoors, I bet your scalp is beautiful my bro
In my house, I decide what’s rude.
I can’t find the Eq eight
you may not have it in your version of Live - try using EQ3 instead
Cool!
😎

Bro that duck behind you is not letting me to listen to what you are saying 😵😵. Please remove that when you are shooting in future.
Imma keep it up
man up your voice. seesh

Too dark
My bad. I just moved and don’t have all my equipment yet
